The two-dimensional heterostructures have outstanding physical and chemical properties that make them promising applications in nanoelectronic devices. A novel BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure was constructed, and the structural stability, electronic structure, conductivity and volt-ampere characteristics of BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure were investigated by the first-principles combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function. The BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure not only exhibits dynamic stability but also possesses a direct bandgap of 2.01 eV, static potential difference generated at heterojunction interface, electrons and holes form an electrical barrier at the interface. Compared to the BC6N and BN monolayers, the conductivity of BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure is significantly reduced and exhibits strong anisotropy. The volt-ampere characteristics of the BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure show that almost no current is generated in the voltage range of 0 to 2.5 V. After the forward voltage exceeds 3 V, the current shows a linear increase trend; during the process of increasing the reverse voltage from 3 V to 5.5 V, there is only a weak current. When the reverse voltage exceeds 5.5 V, the current increases nonlinearly. Therefore, the BC6N/BN lateral heterostructure has anisotropic conductivity and unidirectional conductivity characteristics, which can provide the important theoretical basis for the design and preparation of nanoelectronics devices.
