Abstract
One-dimensional van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures are celebrated for their exceptional thermal management capabilities, garnering significant research interest. Consequently, our research focused on the one-dimensional vdWs heterojunction comprising carbon nanotube half-wrapped in boron nitride nanotube (BNCNT), specifically their thermal rectification (TR) properties. We employed non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to explore the TR mechanism and assess the impacts of temperature, strain, and coupling strength on heat flux and TR ratio. Our findings reveal that the backward heat flux demonstrates greater atomic vibration instability, as indicated by mean square displacement (MSD), compared to forward heat flux. This instability leads to a higher concentration of localized phonons, thereby diminishing the backward heat flux and enhancing TR. Additionally, we utilized MSD to shed light on the negative differential thermal resistance phenomenon and the influence of stress on forward and backward heat fluxes. Remarkably, TR ratios reached 344% at 3% strain and 400% at -1% strain. Calculations of phonon density of states revealed a competitive mechanism between in-plane and out-of-plane phonons coupling in the inner carbon nanotube and an overlap degree of out-of-plane phonon spectra between the inner carbon nanotube and outer boron nitride nanotube. This accounts for the differing trends in forward and backward heat fluxes as coupling strength χ increases, with TR ratios exceeding 1000% at χ = 7.5. This study provides vital insights for advancing one-dimensional vdWs thermal rectifiers.

Abstract
The rising concern over the usage of electronic devices and the operating environment requires efficient thermal interface materials (TIMs) to take away the excess heat generated from hotspots. TIMs are crucial in dissipating undesired heat by transferring energy from the source to the heat sink. Silicone oil (SO)-based composites are the most used TIMs due to their strong bonding and oxidation resistance. However, thermal grease performance is unreliable due to aging effects, toxic chemicals, and a higher percentage of fillers. In this work, TIMs are prepared using exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BNNS) as a nanofiller, and they were functionalized by ecofriendly natural biopolymer soy protein isolate (SPI). The exfoliated h-BNNS has an average lateral size of ∼266 nm. The functionalized h-BNNS/SPI are used as fillers in the SO matrix, and composites are prepared using solution mixing. Hydrogen bonding is present between the organic chain/oxygen in silicone polymer, and the functionalized h-BNNS are evident from the FTIR measurements. The thermal conductivity of h-BNNS/SPI/SO was measured using the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method. At room temperature, the maximum thermal conductivity is 1.162 Wm-1K-1 (833% enhancement) at 50 wt % of 3:1 ratio of h-BNNS:SPI, and the thermal resistance (TR) of the composite is 5.249 × 106 K/W which is calculated using the Foygel nonlinear model. The heat management application was demonstrated by applying TIM on a 10 W LED bulb. It was found that during heating, the 50 wt % TIM decreases the surface temperature of LED by ∼6 °C compared with the pure SO-based TIM after 10 min of ON condition. During cooling, the modified TIM reduces the surface temperature by ∼8 °C under OFF conditions within 1 min. The results indicate that natural polymers can effectively stabilize and link layered materials, enhancing the efficiency of TIMs for cooling electronics and LEDs.

Abstract
2D thin films, possessing atomically thin thickness, are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation electronic devices, due to their novel properties and high performance. In the early years, a wide variety of 2D materials are prepared using several methods (mechanical/liquid exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition, etc.). However, the limited size of 2D flakes hinders their fundamental research and device applications, and hence the effective large-scale preparation of 2D films is still challenging. Recently, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has appeared to be an impactful method for wafer-scale growth of 2D films, owing to target-maintained stoichiometry, high growth rate, and efficiency. In this review, the recent advances on the PLD preparation of 2D films are summarized, including the growth mechanisms, strategies, and materials classification. First, efficacious strategies of PLD growth are highlighted. Then, the growth, characterization, and device applications of various 2D films are presented, such as graphene, h-BN, MoS2, BP, oxide, perovskite, semi-metal, etc. Finally, the potential challenges and further research directions of PLD technique is envisioned.

Abstract
Sweat passive-cooling textiles with asymmetric wettabilities on different sides offer an effective and low-energy consumption solution to personal thermal management in extreme thermal environments. However, the sweat-wicking and the cooling abilities decrease when the textile is contaminated by low-surface tension oily liquid fouling. The integration of anti-oily liquid fouling and sweat-wicking abilities on textile involves resolving the contradiction between hydrophilic and oleophobic properties and seeking eco-friendly short-chain fluorides to reduce the surface energy. Herein, a sustainable oily liquid-proof passive cooling (SOC) textile for personal thermal management is proposed. The SOC textile is obtained by applying a fluoride-free hydrophobic coating layer to one side of the high thermal conductive superoleophobic/superhydrophilic basal textile, which is fabricated using eco-friendly short-chain fluoride. The SOC textile preserves the anti-oily liquid fouling property even after 2000 abrasion cycles. Experimental test revealed that the SOC textile exhibits a cooling effect of ≈5 °C compared with the cotton textile, and the up to 70% reduction in sweating rate under the constant metabolic heat production rates. The configuration of the SOC textile would inspire the future design of intelligent textiles for personal thermal management, and the proposed strategy have implications for fabrication of eco-friendly oil-water separation materials.

Abstract
The unique physical, mechanical, chemical, optical, and electronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) make it a promising 2D material for electronic, optoelectronic, nanophotonic, and quantum devices. Here, the changes in hBN's properties induced by isotopic purification in both boron and nitrogen are reported. Previous studies on isotopically pure hBN have focused on purifying the boron isotope concentration in hBN from its natural concentration (≈20 at% 10 B, 80 at% 11 B) while using naturally abundant nitrogen (99.6 at% 14 N, 0.4 at% 15 N), that is, almost pure 14 N. In this study, the class of isotopically purified hBN crystals to 15 N is extended. Crystals in the four configurations, namely h10 B14 N, h11 B14 N, h10 B15 N, and h11 B15 N, are grown by the metal flux method using boron and nitrogen single isotope (> 99%) enriched sources, with nickel plus chromium as the solvent. In-depth Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies demonstrate the high quality of the monoisotopic hBN crystals with vibrational and optical properties of the 15 N-purified crystals at the state-of-the-art of currently available 14 N-purified hBN. The growth of high-quality h10 B14 N, h11 B14 N, h10 B15 N, and h11 B15 N opens exciting perspectives for thermal conductivity control in heat management, as well as for advanced functionalities in quantum technologies.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoscale heat flux regulation has been at the forefront of research. Nanoscale heat flux concentration is of potential importance in various applications, but no research has been conducted on local heat flux concentration. In this paper, we designed two heat flux concentrators using patterned amorphous and nanomesh structures, respectively. Using molecular dynamics simulation, we find that the heat flux in the central regions is much higher than that in the adjacent regions, with the concentration ratio arriving at 9-fold. Thus a heat flux concentrator is realized using these nanophononic metastructures. The phonon localization theory was used to explain the underlying mechanism. This work provides a direct design strategy for thermal concentrators using practical nanofabrication technologies.

Abstract
The ideal mechanical properties and behaviors of materials without the influence of defects are of great fundamental and engineering significance but considered inaccessible. Here, we use single-atom-thin isotopically pure hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to demonstrate that two-dimensional (2D) materials offer us close-to ideal experimental platforms to study intrinsic mechanical phenomena. The highly delicate isotope effect on the mechanical properties of monolayer hBN is directly measured by indentation: lighter 10B gives rise to higher elasticity and strength than heavier 11B. This anomalous isotope effect establishes that the intrinsic mechanical properties without the effect of defects could be measured, and the so-called ultrafine and normally neglected isotopic perturbation in nuclear charge distribution sometimes plays a more critical role than the isotopic mass effect in the mechanical and other physical properties of materials.

Abstract
Element isotopes are characterized by distinct atomic masses and nuclear spins, which can significantly influence material properties. Notably, however, isotopes in natural materials are homogenously distributed in space. Here, we propose a method to configure material properties by repositioning isotopes in engineered van der Waals (vdW) isotopic heterostructures. We showcase the properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) isotopic heterostructures in engineering confined photon-lattice waves-hyperbolic phonon polaritons. By varying the composition, stacking order, and thicknesses of h10BN and h11BN building blocks, hyperbolic phonon polaritons can be engineered into a variety of energy-momentum dispersions. These confined and tailored polaritons are promising for various nanophotonic and thermal functionalities. Due to the universality and importance of isotopes, our vdW isotope heterostructuring method can be applied to engineer the properties of a broad range of materials.

Abstract
Isotopic mixtures result in distinct properties of materials such as thermal conductivity and nuclear process. However, the knowledge of isotopic interface remains largely unexplored mainly due to the challenges in atomic-scale isotopic identification. Here, using electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a scanning transmission electron microscope, we reveal momentum-transfer-dependent phonon behavior at the h-10BN/h-11BN isotope heterostructure with sub-unit-cell resolution. We find the phonons' energy changes gradually across the interface, featuring a wide transition regime. Phonons near the Brillouin zone center have a transition regime of ~3.34 nm, whereas phonons at the Brillouin zone boundary have a transition regime of ~1.66 nm. We propose that the isotope-induced charge effect at the interface accounts for the distinct delocalization behavior. Moreover, the variation of phonon energy between atom layers near the interface depends on both of momentum transfer and mass change. This study provides new insights into the isotopic effects in natural materials.

Abstract
With the development of chip technology, the density of transistors on integrated circuits is increasing and the size is gradually shrinking to the micro-/nanoscale, with the consequent problem of heat dissipation on chips becoming increasingly serious. For device applications, efficient heat dissipation and thermal management play a key role in ensuring device operation reliability. In this review, we summarize the thermal management applications based on 2D materials from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. The regulation approaches of thermal transport can be divided into two main types: intrinsic structure engineering (acting on the intrinsic structure) and non-structure engineering (applying external fields). On one hand, the thermal transport properties of 2D materials can be modulated by defects and disorders, size effect (including length, width, and the number of layers), heterostructures, structure regulation, doping, alloy, functionalizing, and isotope purity. On the other hand, strain engineering, electric field, and substrate can also modulate thermal transport efficiently without changing the intrinsic structure of the materials. Furthermore, we propose a perspective on the topic of using magnetism and light field to modulate the thermal transport properties of 2D materials. In short, we comprehensively review the existing thermal management modulation applications as well as the latest research progress, and conclude with a discussion and perspective on the applications of 2D materials in thermal management, which will be of great significance to the development of next-generation nanoelectronic devices.

Abstract
α-MoO3, a natural van der Waals (vdWs) material, has received wide attention in nano-optics for supporting highly confined anisotropic phonon polaritons (PhPs) from the mid-infrared to the terahertz region, which opens a new route for manipulating light at the nanoscale. However, its optical loss hinders light manipulation with high efficiency. This work demonstrates that the isotope-enriched Mo element enables ultralow-loss PhPs in the α-MoO3. Raman spectra reveal that the isotope-enriched Mo element in the α-MoO3 allows different optical phonon frequencies by efficiently altering the Reststrahlen band's dispersion. The Mo isotope-enriched α-MoO3 significantly reduces the PhPs' optical loss due to efficient optical coherence, which enhances the propagation length revealed by infrared nanoimaging. These findings suggest that the isotope-enriched α-MoO3 is a new feasible 2D material with an ultralow optical loss for possible high-performance integrated photonics and quantum optics devices.

Abstract
Graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and their heterostructures are promising thermal interface materials due to the outstanding thermal properties of graphene and h-BN. For the heterostructures, extensive work has mainly focused on the thermal transport of two-dimensional (2D) graphene/h-BN (GBN) in-plane heterostructures in which graphene and h-BN are bonded at the interface. In this study, we investigate the thermal conductivity of three-dimensional (3D) GBN van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures by means of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Unlike the 2D GBN in-plane heterostructure, the 3D GBN vdW heterostructure consists of three layers where graphene is sandwiched by two h-BN sheets via vdW forces. Various techniques, including hydrogen-functionalization, vacancy defects, tensile strain, interlayer coupling strength, layer numbers of h-BN, size effect, and temperature, are extensively explored to find an effective route for the modulation of the thermal conductivity. It is found that the thermal conductivity of the triple-layer GBN vdW heterostructure is very sensitive to these extrinsic factors. Of these, hydrogen-functionalization is the most effective method. A low hydrogen coverage of 1% in the sandwiched graphene can lead to 55% reduction in the thermal conductivity of the vdW heterostructure. Vacancy defects on graphene exert a more significant effect on the thermal conductivity reduction for the vdW heterostructure than B or N vacancies in the outer h-BN layers. This work reveals the physical mechanism for manipulating the thermal transport along the GBN vdW heterostructures via structural modification and provides a useful guideline for designing novel thermal management devices based on the GBN vdW heterostructures.

Abstract
Isotopically purified semiconductors potentially dissipate heat better than their natural, isotopically mixed counterparts as they have higher thermal conductivity (κ). But the benefit is low for Si at room temperature, amounting to only ∼10% higher κ for bulk ^{28}Si than for bulk natural Si (^{nat}Si). We show that in stark contrast to this bulk behavior, ^{28}Si (99.92% enriched) nanowires have up to 150% higher κ than ^{nat}Si nanowires with similar diameters and surface morphology. Using a first-principles phonon dispersion model, this giant isotope effect is attributed to a mutual enhancement of isotope scattering and surface scattering of phonons in ^{nat}Si nanowires, correlated via transmission of phonons to the native amorphous SiO_{2} shell. The Letter discovers the strongest isotope effect of κ at room temperature among all materials reported to date and inspires potential applications of isotopically enriched semiconductors in microelectronics.

Abstract
In-plane anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials, emerging as an intriguing type of 2D family, provide an ideal platform for designing and fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Exploring air-stable and strong in-plane anisotropic 2D materials is still challenging and promising for polarized photodetection. Herein, SiP2, a 2D IV-V semiconductor, is successfully prepared and introduced into an in-plane anisotropic 2D family. The basic characterizations combined with theoretical calculations reveal 2D SiP2 to exhibit an intrinsically low-symmetry structure, the in-plane anisotropy of phonon vibrations, and an anisotropically dispersed band structure. Moreover, the photodetector based on 2D SiP2 exhibits high performance with a high detectivity of 1012 Jones, a large light on/off ratio of 103, a low dark current of 10-13 A, and a fast response speed of 3 ms. Furthermore, 2D SiP2 demonstrates a high anisotropic photodetection with an anisotropic ratio up to 2. In addition, the polarization-sensitive photodetector presents a dichroic ratio of 1.6 due to the intrinsic linear dichroism. These good characteristics make 2D SiP2 a promising candidate as an in-plane anisotropic semiconductor for high-sensitivity and polarized optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and exfoliated nanosheets (BNNs) not only resemble their carbon counterparts graphite and graphene nanosheets in structural configurations and many excellent materials characteristics, especially the ultra-high thermal conductivity, but also offer other unique properties such as being electrically insulating and extreme chemical stability and oxidation resistance even at elevated temperatures. In fact, BNNs as a special class of 2-D nanomaterials have been widely pursued for technological applications that are beyond the reach of their carbon counterparts. Highlighted in this article are significant recent advances in the development of more effective and efficient exfoliation techniques for high-quality BNNs, the understanding of their characteristic properties, and the use of BNNs in polymeric nanocomposites for thermally conductive yet electrically insulating materials and systems. Major challenges and opportunities for further advances in the relevant research field are also discussed.

Abstract
The infrared reflectance spectrum of cubic boron phosphide (BP) single crystals shows a very narrow Reststrahlen band, indicating a small TO-LO (transverse optical-longitudinal optical) splitting. To study the phonon thermal behavior of the TO(Γ) and the LO(Γ) of 10BP, natBP, and 11BP bulk single crystals, temperature-dependent infrared reflectance spectroscopy in 85-500 K is applied here. As the temperature increases, the Reststrahlen band broadens. The frequencies of the TO(Γ) and the LO(Γ) exhibit nonlinear red shifts, and the TO-LO splitting gradually increases. Our research found that thermal expansion plays a leading role at low temperatures while phonon anharmonicity gradually takes place at high temperatures.

Abstract
High-quality hexagonal BN (hBN) crystals, owing to their irreplaceable roles in new functional devices such as universal substrates and excellent layered insulators are exceedingly required in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Although large-scale monolayer hBN crystals have been successfully grown on catalytic metals, the synthesis of large-area continuous hBN films with thickness in microns is challenging, hindering their applications at the mesoscopic level. Herein, we report the single-metal flux growth of centimeter-large, micron-thick, and high-quality continuous hBN films by balancing the grain size and coverage. The as-grown films can be readily exfoliated and transferred onto arbitrary substrates. Isotopically engineered hBN crystals can be obtained as well by the method. The narrow Raman line widths of the intralayer E2g mode peak (2.9 cm-1 for h11BN, 3.3 cm-1 for h10BN, and 7.9 cm-1 for hNaBN) and ultrahigh thermal conductivity (830 W m-1 K-1 for 4L h11BN) demonstrate high crystal quality and low defect density. Our results provide the foundation for the cost-efficient and lab-achievable synthesis of high-quality hBN films aimed at its mesoscopic applications.

Abstract
The rapid development of integrated circuits and electronic devices creates a strong demand for highly thermally conductive yet electrically insulating composites to efficiently solve "hot spot" problems during device operation. On the basis of these considerations, hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) have been regarded as promising fillers to fabricate polymer matrix composites. However, so far an efficient approach to prepare ultrahigh-aspect-ratio BNNS with large lateral size while maintaining an atomically thin nature is still lacking, seriously restricting further improvement of the thermal conductivity for BNNS/polymer composites. Here, a rapid and high-yield method based on a microfluidization technique is developed to obtain exfoliated BNNS with a record high aspect ratio of ≈1500 and a low degree of defects. A foldable and electrically insulating film made of such a BNNS and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix through filtration exhibits an in-plane thermal conductivity of 67.6 W m-1 K-1 at a BNNS loading of 83 wt %, leading to a record high value of thermal conductivity enhancement (≈35 500). The composite film then acts as a heat spreader for heat dissipation of high-power LED modules and shows superior cooling efficiency compared to commercial flexible copper clad laminate. Our findings provide a practical route to produce electrically insulating polymer composites with high thermal conductivity for thermal management applications in modern electronic devices.

Abstract
Developing efficient strategy to regulate heat conduction is a challenging problem, with potential implication in the field of thermal materials. We here focus on a potential thermal material, i.e. complex networks of nanowires and nanotubes, and propose a model where the mass of each node is assigned proportional to its degree with [Formula: see text], to investigate how distributed nodes masses can impact the heat flow in a network. We find that the heat conduction of complex network can be either increased or decreased, depending on the controlling parameter [Formula: see text]. Especially, there is an optimal heat conduction at [Formula: see text] and it is independent of network topologies. Moreover, we find that the temperature distribution within a complex network is also strongly influenced by the controlling parameter [Formula: see text]. A brief theoretical analysis is provided to explain these results. These findings may open up appealing applications in the cases of demanding either increasing or decreasing heat conduction, and our approach of regulating heat conduction by distributed nodes masses may be also valuable to the challenge of controlling waste heat dissipation in highly integrated and miniaturized modern devices.

Abstract
Anti- and de-icing heating systems are used to both prevent the accumulation of ice and to remove it and thus avoid damage. Typically, anti- and de-icing heating systems employ carbon-based materials, metal frames, and bulky ceramic structures. These structures generally lead to the loss of radio-frequency (RF) signals and are also relatively heavy. Therefore, RF equipment such as radar domes (radomes) and antennas require anti- and de-icing systems with high RF transmittance for normal operation. In this work, we fabricated a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) wave pattern covered with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layers (i.e., an h-BN/FTO wave pattern) on a glass substrate for use as an RF-transmitting heating system for anti- and de-icing. The FTO wave pattern and h-BN layer act as the heating element and heat spreader, respectively. The h-BN layer showed a transmittance of approximately 90% for RF waves on glass (X band: 8.2-12.4 GHz) (the 10% loss was attributable to the glass substrate). The differences in the temperatures of the FTO-patterned and non-patterned areas for the h-BN(3.6 nm)/FTO and FTO wave pattern were 19.3 and 25.5 °C, respectively. This means that the h-BN layer improved the heat-spreading performance by 6.2 °C. Furthermore, a de-icing test was performed using the h-BN(3.6 nm)/FTO wave pattern by applying a voltage of 40 V at -20 °C. The ice on the non-patterned area melted within 1 min while that on the FTO-patterned area melted within 30 s. These results suggest that the fabricated h-BN(3.6 nm)/FTO wave pattern for RF-transmitting heating systems is suitable for use with the radomes of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, aircraft, and spaceships in extremely cold environments.
