Plumbene a promising material for future technology: A review

Background

Due to enormous unique properties and wide applications in several sectors, plumbene, the two dimensional single atomic layer of lead is the centre of attraction for scientists and researchers around the globe.

Review Factor: Plumbene finds its applications in the flexible electronics field, in hydrogen adsorption, as degenerating semiconductor, topological insulator etc. In this paper, we discuss the atomic structure of plumbene, research done on plumbene till now which necessitates future scope of plumbene in society.

Conclusions

Modeling and simulation are the most techniques adopted to evaluate mechanical and thermal properties of plumbene. Its atomic structure and electronic properties are studied by Ab Initio calculations. Newton’s second law of motion and classical mechanics methods are adopted for these calculations. We can see that the results under the same parameter such as strain value, loading conditions, equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics are affected by the implemented theories.
