摘要
Two-dimensional(2D)materials have demonstrated promising prospects owing to their distinctive electronic properties and exceptional mechanical properties.Among them,2D superconductors with T_(c) above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen(77 K)will exhibit tremendous applicable value in the future.Here,we design two 2D superconductors Na(BC)_(2) and K(BC)_(2) with MgB2-like structures,which are theoretically predicted to host T_(c) as high as 99 and 102 K,respectively.The origin of such high T_(c) is ascribed to the presence of both𝜎-bonding bands and van Hove singularity at the Fermi level.Furthermore,T_(c) of Na(BC)_(2) is boosted up to 153K with a biaxial strain of 5%,which sets a new record among 2D superconductors.The predictions of Na(BC)_(2) and K(BC)_(2) open the door to explore 2D high-temperature superconductors and provide a potential future for developing new applications in 2D materials.
