Materials with thermal conduction anisotropy can provide innovative thermal management strategies in integrated circuits. However, artificially engineered material lacks the anisotropy ratios seen in nature. Here, we report extremely anisotropic thermal conductors based on large-area van der Waals thin films with random interlayer rotations, which produce a room-temperature thermal anisotropy ratio close to 900 in MoS2, one of the highest ever reported. This is enabled by the interlayer rotations that impede the through-plane conductivity, while the long-range intralayer crystallinity maintains high in-plane onductivity. In this contribution we will present the computational analysis of the measured ultralow thermal conductivities in the through-plane direction for MoS2 (57± 3 mW m−1 K−1). Using molecular dynamics simulations we quantitatively explain these values and reveal a one-dimensional glass-like thermal transport. Conversely, the in-plane thermal conductivity in these MoS2 films is close to the single-crystal value. Our work establishes interlayer rotation in crystalline layered materials as a new degree of freedom for engineering-directed heat transport in solid-state systems. Nature 597, 660-665 (2021)
