Thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and melting temperature, influence the efficiency and stability of two-dimensional (2D) material applications. However, existing studies on thermal characteristics-except for thermal conductivity-are insufficient for 2D materials. Here, we investigated the melting temperature of 2D Tellurium (2D Te) using the nano-thermal analysis technique and found anomalous behavior that occurs before the melting temperature is reached. The theoretical calculations present surface pre-melting in 2D Te and Raman scattering measurements suggest that defects in 2D Te accelerate surface pre-melting. Understanding the pre-melting surface characteristics of 2D Te will provide valuable information for practical applications.
