Abstract
Two-dimensional quantum materials are currently a hot research area in the field of materials. These unique materials allow electrons to move freely in only two dimensions and the other dimension is limited within the atom scale. The isolation of Graphene in 2004 showed the advantages of two-dimensional (2D) materials and led a rapid development in this field. Meanwhile, it stimulates the synthesis and research of the materials beyond carbon. 2D materials beyond carbon have different components and structures, showing a broader range of remarkable properties and applications than traditional graphene. This article will pay attention to the phenomenon and mechanism of these exceptional properties, including superconductivity, ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, and quantum spin liquid phase. Additionally, potential applications and future prospects of 2D materials beyond carbon will be explored. With the progress of technology, 2D materials beyond carbon are expected to have exciting developments in various fields, leading to significant changes in human life and production
