Germanene , a 2D honeycomb lattice analogous to graphene, is fabricated on a Pt(111) surface. It exhibits a buckled configuration with a (3 × 3) superlattice coinciding with the substrate's (√19 × √19) superstructure. Covalent bonds exist throughout the germanene layer. The resulting high‐quality germanene enables researchers to explore the fundamentals of germanene and its potential applications.
