Abstract
A superconducting transition temperature (Tc) up to 25 K in the Li-intercalated bilayer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is predicted according to ab-initio calculations. A Tc higher than that of metal-intercalated graphene (MIG) is ascribed to the characteristic spatial distribution of electronic states near the Fermi level, which is distinctly different from that in MIG. In the Li-intercalated bilayer h-BN, the breaking of the symmetrical restriction and the increase in the overlap between the charge density and the Li in-plane motion enhance the electron–phonon coupling. Our results provide a new design guideline for two-dimensional superconductors based on intercalated layered materials.
