▎ 摘  要

Nitrogenated holey graphene (NHG), a new two-dimensional graphene variant with a large fundamental direct band gap, has recently been successfully synthesized via a simple wet-chemical reaction. Motivated by its unique geometry and novel properties, we investigated the phonon transport properties of the material by combining first-principle calculations and the phonon Boltzmann transport equation. The lattice thermal conductivity of NHG at room temperature is predicted to be about 82.22WmK(-1), which is almost two orders of magnitude lower than that of graphene (about 3500WmK(-1)). Deviating from the traditional understanding that thermal transport is usually largely contributed by the acoustic phonon modes for most suspended 2D materials, both out-of-plane flexural acoustic (ZA) and optical phonon modes make a more or less equal contribution, and their combination abnormally dominates the overall thermal transport in NHG. The major three-phonon process in NHG is further analyzed and the scattering between the acoustic and optical phonon modes like ZA/TA/LA + O <-> O is the main phonon process channel. Meanwhile, the mean free path distribution of different phonon modes is calculated for the purpose of the thermal management of NHG-based devices. Our results elucidate the unusual thermal transport properties of NHG as compared with the representative case of graphene, and underpin its potential application for use by the thermal management community.
