Molecular Dynamics simulations of thermal conductivity of penta-graphene

Abstrakt

The thermal conductivity of penta-graphene (PG), a new two dimensional carbon allotrope and its dependence on temperature, strain, and direction are studied in this paper. The thermal conductivity of PG is investigated using a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation (NEMD) with the Two Region Method by applying the optimized Tersoff interatomic potential. Our study shows that the thermal conductivity of PG (determined for the [100] direction) at the room temperature of 300 K is about 18.7 W/(m K), which is much lower than the thermal conductivity of graphene. As the temperature increases, the thermal conductivity of PG is decreasing because, unlike graphene, PG has lower phonon group velocities and few collective phonon excitations. The obtained dependence of the thermal conductivity on the temperature can be described as ∼ −0.32. For the [110] direction the thermal conductivity at the room temperature of 300 K is very similar: about 17.8 W/(m K). In this case, the temperature dependence follows the ∼ −0.3 relation. Our investigations reveal that the thermal conductivity of PG is isotropic, meaning that heat transport behavior is independent of the heat flow direction. Our results indicate that the thermal conductivity of PG depends in an interesting way on the applied strain: nonmonotonic up-and-down behavior is observed. The thermal conductivity increases between strains from 0% up to 12.5%, and it decreases above a strain of 12.5%. Our investigation highlights the fascinating thermal transport properties of penta-graphene. The ultra-low thermal conductivity, the decreasing thermal conductivity with the increasing temperature, and the ultra-high mechanical strength of PG show that PG possesses a great potential in thermoelectric and nanomechanics applications. We hope that these findings, made by means of simulations, will become a bridge to inspire and encourage the experimental works, especially in the synthesis of PG.
