Mechanical Isolation of Highly Stable Antimonene under Ambient Conditions

Antimonene fabricated by mechanical exfoliation is highly stable under atmospheric conditions over periods of months and even immersed in water. Density functional theory confirms the experiments and predicts an electronic gap of ≈1 eV. These results highlight the use of antimonene for optoelectronics applications.
