The important question is whether the Li-hBN bilayer system yield the high critical temperature that was suggested from DFT calculations (TC = 25 K) [41]. We think that this not the

Thus, in the presented paper, we characterized the properties of the superconducting state in a Li-hBN bilayer in the framework of the Eliashberg formalism, which includes the vertex corrections of electron–phonon interaction [51]. We compared the results with those obtained
