Improving the reliability of electronic devices requires effective heat management, and the key is the relationship between the thermal transport and temperature. Inspired by synthesized T-carbon and H-boron, the 3-X structural models are proposed to unify the two-dimensional (2D) multitriangle materials. Employing structural searches, we identify the stability of the 3-X configuration in 2D boron carbides as 3-9 BC3 monolayer, which, unexpectedly, exhibits a linear thermal conductivity versus temperature, not the traditional ∼1/T trend. We summarize the common characteristics and explore why this behavior is absent in 3-9 AlC3 and graphene via investigating the optical modes. We show that the linear behavior is a direct consequence of the special oscillation modes by the 3-X model associated with the largest group velocity. We find that 2D materials with such behavior usually share a relatively low thermal conductivity. Our work paves the way to deeply understand the lattice thermal transport and to widen nanoelectronic applications.
