Brief summary
Hexagonal Boron-Nitride (h-BN) is an insulator with a large gap (~6
eV) and good for encapsulating other 2D materials
Black Phosphorus (BP) is a direct gap semiconductor, independent of
the thickness. The bandgap decreases with increasing thickness.
BP has a gap and relatively high mobility (~103 cm2V-1s-1), therefore
a good candidate for FET
BP has a puckered structure and is not flat. It is also anisotropic in 2D.

Summary for Xene
Xene is a family 2D materials that do not exist naturally
For most of the xene mechanical exfoliation is difficult, and growth by molecular-
beam epitaxy (MBE) on a substrate is needed
Due to the interaction with the substrate, xene is often more buckled or stretched
than its free-standing form, which changes electronic properties
There are many xene which may become 2D topological insulators, and their
topological nature is strongly modulated by strain
Since xene is often grown on a metallic substrate, transfer of xene to an insulating
substrate is an issue to overcome
