SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF ATOMIC LAYER BORON NITRIDE NANOSHEETS FOR ADVANCED MATERIAL APPLICATIONS Besides graphene, hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets

SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF ATOMIC LAYER BORON NITRIDE NANOSHEETS FOR ADVANCED MATERIAL APPLICATIONS Report Title Besides graphene, hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) are playing an excellent role for the next generation of 2-dimentional (2D) functional nanomaterials. Due to the similar lattice parameter and identical crystalline structure to that of graphene, BNNSs are often kno...

Oxygen radical functionalization of boron nitride nanosheets.

The covalent chemical functionalization of exfoliated hexagonal boron-nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) is achieved by the solution-phase oxygen radical functionalization of boron atoms in the h-BN lattice. This involves a two-step procedure to initially covalently graft alkoxy groups to boron atoms and the subsequent hydrolytic defunctionalization of the groups to yield hydroxyl-functionalized BNNSs ...

Large-scale synthesis and functionalization of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets.

A simple and inexpensive method to functionalize hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) was achieved by using an acid mixture of phosphoric and sulphuric acid. This functionalization induced the exfoliation of the layered structure of hBN into monolayer to few-layer sheets where the sizes of the sheets were dependent on the parent hBN powder used. Exfoliated hBN was shown to be stable in solvents such a...

Inter-layer potential for hexagonal boron nitride.

A new interlayer force-field for layered hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) based structures is presented. The force-field contains three terms representing the interlayer attraction due to dispersive interactions, repulsion due to anisotropic overlaps of electron clouds, and monopolar electrostatic interactions. With appropriate parameterization, the potential is able to simultaneously capture wel...
