"2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite also highly rigid... replacing carbon-carbon chains with tailored benzene rings in its organic layers achieves room-temperature approximately 0.04 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ thermal conductivity, approaching non-porous solids' theoretical lower limit, 5X better/ 700 to 10,000X stiffer than silicone... overcomes rigidity/ heat conduction trade-off... can be spun-cast/ printed as coatings at scale... microelectronics, cookware, and aerospace thermal protection"
