Vanadium diboride (VB₂) with an AlB₂-type structure has been synthesized at 8 GPa and 1700 K in a D-DIA-type multianvil apparatus. The obtained bulk modulus is B₀ = 262(2) GPa with fixed B' = 4.0 for VB₂ via high-pressure X-ray diffraction measurements. Meanwhile, VB₂ has also been demonstrated to possess a high Vickers hardness of 27.2 ± 1.5 GPa, a high thermal stability of 1410 K in air, among the highest for transition-metal borides, and an extremely low resistivity value (41 μΩ cm) at room temperature. Here, results from first-principles calculations regarding the mechanical and electronic properties of VB₂ are largely consistent with the experimental observations and further suggest that VB₂ possesses simultaneously the properties of a hard and refractory ceramic and those of an excellent electric conductor.
