Abstract | In this article, we present the electronic properties of various carbon honeycombs (C-honeycombs) with different cell sizes and junction types based on ab initio calculations. Among the three typical C-honeycombs with junctions connected via the zigzag edge, the armchair edge, or the hybrid edges of graphene nanoribbons, it is found that the zigzag C-honeycombs and the hybrid ones exhibit metallic properties. However, the armchair C-honeycombs are metallic only if the number of atomic planes N of the graphene nanoribbon in the C-honeycomb sidewall follows N = 3p+1, with p as an integer and are semiconducting for other N. For those semiconducting ones, the bandgap of the C-honeycomb is about 1.19 eV with the narrowest sidewall (5.2 angstrom) and monotonically -12reases to about 0.15 eV when the width is increased to 34.8 angstrom. The semiconducting nature of such C-honeycombs with nanometer size pores may be used for lightweight semiconductor in electronic devices or supercapacitor energy storage. As a comparison, we show that all boron honeycombs are metallic, and their electronic properties are independent of sidewall widths. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
