N1 - Funding Information:
Zhongfang Chen earned his PhD from Nankai University in 2000, and then was a postdoc in Germany with Prof. Andreas Hirsch and Walter Thiel under the support of Alexander-von- Humboldt Foundation and Max Planck Society. In 2003, he joined Prof. Paul v. R. Schleyer’s group at the University of Georgia. After a short stay at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2008), he moved to the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus, as a Professor in the Department of Chemistry. He applies modern computational tools to investigate rules and trends in chemistry and to design new materials for energy, environment and human health applications.
Funding Information:
Félix Zamora was born in 1967 in Cuenca (Spain). In 1994 he obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). He moved to the University of Dortmund (Germany) to work with Professor B. Lippert. He is currently ‘‘Profesor Titular’’ at the Inorganic Chemistry Department at the UAM. He is the author of more than 120 papers in chemistry and materials science. From 2004 he focused his research on low-dimensional nanomaterials with electrical properties based on metal-organic and covalent organic frame works (www.nanomater.es). He was awarded the ‘‘Excellent in Research by BASF’’ prize by the Spanish Royal Society in 2015.
Funding Information:
Yeliang Wang was an under- graduate in materials science at the Wuhan University of Technology, after which he moved to the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where he studied condensed matter physics and was awarded a PhD in 2004. He then joined the nanoscale science department (hosted by Prof. Klaus Kern) as a Humboldt fellow in the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid Research, Germany. He was appointed an associate professor in 2008 and a full professor in 2013 in the Institute of Physics, CAS. He was awarded the distinguished youth scholar award by the National Scientific Foundation of China in 2017.
Funding Information:
Haibo Zeng received his PhD from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2006. He worked with Prof. Claus Klingshirn in 2007 at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2008, he joined Prof. Yoshio Bando’s group at the National Institute for Materials Science, Japan, under the support of JSPS. In 2011, he returned to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as a full professor, and then moved to Nanjing University of Science and Technology in 2013 as a director of the Institute of Optoelectronics & Nanomaterials. His current research interest includes 2D materials and QDs.

N2 - This review provides recent theoretical and experimental progress in the fundamental properties, electronic modulations, fabrications and applications of 2D group-VA materials.Phosphorene, an emerging two-dimensional material, has received considerable attention due to its layer-controlled direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, negative Poisson's ratio and unique in-plane anisotropy. As cousins of phosphorene, 2D group-VA arsenene, antimonene and bismuthene have also garnered tremendous interest due to their intriguing structures and fascinating electronic properties. 2D group-VA family members are opening up brand-new opportunities for their multifunctional applications encompassing electronics, optoelectronics, topological spintronics, thermoelectrics, sensors, Li- or Na-batteries. In this review, we extensively explore the latest theoretical and experimental progress made in the fundamental properties, fabrications and applications of 2D group-VA materials, and offer perspectives and challenges for the future of this emerging field.
