摘要

Two-dimensional (2D) materials,such as graphene,phosphorene,and transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g.,MoS2 and WS2),have attracted a great deal of attention recently due to their extraordinary structural,mechanical,and physical properties.In particular,2D materials have shown great potential for thermal management and thermoelectric energy generation.In this article,we review the recent advances in the study of thermal properties of 2D materials.We first review some important aspects in thermal conductivity of graphene and discuss the possibility to enhance the ultra-high thermal conductivity of graphene.Next,we discuss thermal conductivity of MoS2 and the new strategy for thermal management of MoS2 device.Subsequently,we discuss the anisotropic thermal properties of phosphorene.Finally,we review the application of 2D materials in thermal devices,including thermal rectifier and thermal modulator.
