A new class of two-dimensional scandium carbide nanosheet has been identified by using first-principles density functional theory. It has a primitive cell of Sc<sub>3</sub>C<sub>10</sub>, in which there are two pentagonal carbon rings surrounded by one scandium octagon. Being as the precussor of Volleyballene Sc<sub>20</sub>C<sub>60</sub> and ScC nanotubes, the Sc<sub>3</sub>C<sub>10</sub> nanosheet is exceptionally stable. By rolling up this Sc<sub>3</sub>C<sub>10</sub> sheet, a series of stabl ...[more]
