Two dimensional material/semiconductor heterostructures offer alternative platforms for optoelectronic devices other than conventional Schottky and p–n junction devices. Herein, we use MoS 2 /GaAs heterojunction as a self-driven photodetector with wide response band width from ultraviolet to visible light, which exhibits high sensitivity to the incident light of 635 nm with responsivity as 321 mA/W and detectivity as 3.5×10 13 Jones (Jones=cm Hz 1/2 W −1 ), respectively. Employing interface design by inserting h-BN and photo-induced doping by covering Si quantum dots on the device, the responsivity is increased to 419 mA/W for incident light of 635 nm. Distinctly, attributing to the low dark current of the MoS 2 /h-BN/GaAs sandwich structure based on the self-driven operation condition, the detectivity shows extremely high value of 1.9×10 14 Jones for incident light of 635 nm, which is higher than all the reported values of the MoS 2 based photodetectors. Further investigations reveal that the MoS 2 /GaAs based photodetectors have response speed with the typical rise/fall time as 17/31 μs. The photodetectors are stable while sealed with polymethyl methacrylate after storage in air for one month. These results imply that monolayer MoS 2 /GaAs heterojunction may have great potential for practical applications as high performance self-driven photodetectors.

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has excellent lamellar structure and electrical insulation properties, and excels in improving the corrosion resistance of coatings. By utilizing the abundant hydroxyl and amino functional groups on the polydopamine surface, h-BN is endowed with excellent hydrophilicity. Simultaneously, the polysaccharide polymer MD-GT-CS (MGC), formed by cross-linking maltodextrin (MD), gelatin (GT), and chitosan (CS), was combined with the active sites on the surface of BN@PDA, which conferred pH-responsive functionality to the BN@PDA@MGC hybrid material. In addition, cerium ions were introduced into the carboxyl and amino sites on the MGC surface, resulting in the synthesis of BN@PDA@MGC(Ce) (BPMGC), a hybrid material that combines the layered barrier properties, pH responsiveness, and self-repairing functions. The BPMGC/EP composite coating was prepared by doping the hybrid material with EP. The EIS test results showed that the |Z| 0.01 Hz value of the composite coating reached 1.45 × 10 9 Ω cm 2 after 40 d, which is an improvement of four orders of magnitude compared to EP (6.85 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 ). The results of EIS tests at different pH conditions showed that after 40 d of immersion at pH = 3 and 5, the |Z| 0.01 Hz value decreased by two orders of magnitude, but was still two orders of magnitude higher than that of EP at pH = 7. Meanwhile, the strong self-healing ability of BPMGC/EP was determined by EIS analysis of the scratched coating, salt spray test, SEM and EDS analysis of the corroded area. The experimental results show that the incorporation of BPMGC provides a new method to improve the barrier and self-healing properties of epoxy resins.

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is a promising strategy for upgrading phenolic bio-oil into cycloalkanes. Conventional catalysts often rely on strongly acidic supports, which tend to suffer from rapid deactivation. In this study, 4-ethylphenol was selected as a model compound derived from lignin bio-oil to investigate the effects of active sites on an inert support during the hydrogenation and deoxygenation of the phenolic group. Acid-site–support decoupling catalysts, denoted as Ni-HSiW/h-BN, were successfully prepared and were applied in the HDO of 4-ethylphenol to produce ethylcyclohexane. Using 0.5 g of 4-ethylphenol as the substrate and n-dodecane (30 mL) as solvent, the optimal reaction conditions were identified as a temperature of 300 °C, a reaction time of 3 h and the use of 15% Ni-HSiW 0.25 /h-BN catalyst. Under these conditions, complete conversion of 4-ethylphenol was achieved with 100% selectivity toward ethylcyclohexane. When the temperature was lowered to 180 °C and the reaction time reduced to 1 h using 15% Ni/h-BN, the main product shifted to ethylcyclohexanol with a selectivity of 94.4%. A reaction mechanism was proposed, indicating that the combination of Ni and HSiW synergistically enhances HDO efficiency.

The integration of ceramic fillers with high thermal conductivity into polymer fiber insulating paper enhances both thermal conductivity and dielectric strength. Nonetheless, elevated filler loadings augment the filler-matrix interface, thereby intensifying phonon scattering. Additionally, filler agglomeration, driven by van der Waals forces, impedes the formation of a continuous thermal network and introduces defects that facilitate electrical treeing. This research draws inspiration from “brick-and-mortar” architectures, employing high-surface-area thermotropic liquid crystal polyarylate (PAR) nanofibers as the continuous mortar and surface-modified hexagonal boron nitride (TMS@h-BN) nanoplates as the bricks. A scalable papermaking process is employed to fabricate high-thermal-conductivity insulating paper with a high filler content. The three-dimensional network structure of PAR nanofibers spatially confines the h-BN nanoplates, effectively preventing their agglomeration. Furthermore, π-π conjugation between the aromatic structures of PAR and the benzene rings of h-BN enhances interfacial bonding by facilitating the diffusion and entanglement of PAR molecular chains during thermal pressing. This results in a dense interfacial structure that provides an efficient pathway for phonon transport, thereby enhancing thermal conductivity and minimizing electrical distortion. At a filler loading of 70 wt%, the TMS@h-BN/PAR nanocomposite paper exhibits superior mechanical performance and flexibility, achieving an in-plane thermal conductivity of 14.19 W·m −1 ·K −1 and a breakdown field strength of 111.17 kV/mm, which represent significant improvements over commercial insulating paper. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional thermal stability and flame retardancy, with minimal dimensional changes following heat treatment.

The potential prospect of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the fields of polymer composites is severely limited by undesirable exfoliation efficiency and chemical inertness. Herein, bio-based dopamine was employed toward exfoliating bulk h-BN with hydrogen bond action and imparting a highly-active surface. With assistance of polypodamine, SnO 2 nanoparticles were in-situ synthesized and strengthened the interfacial interaction between h-BN and epoxy (EP) matrix. The integrated function of metal oxide/h-BN toward flame retardant and smoke suppression of polymer materials was firstly studied and obtained, in term of reduced peak heat release rate (decreased by 41.1%), lower total heat release (decreased by 30.1%), and suppressed total smoke production (decreased by 21.6%). In addition, the mechanism for enhancements on flame retardant and smoke suppression of EP composites was systematically investigated. Such a design route simultaneously achieves the exfoliation and functionalization of h-BN, thus offering an active platform for further functionalization modification.

A composite ceramic coating containing h-BN particles was prepared on the ZL109 alloy via plasma electrolytic oxidation. The h-BN particles were modified by Polyethylene glycol to improve the dispersibility. The results revealed that the h-BN particles in the electrolyte were inertly incorporated into the coating. Meanwhile, the incorporation of h-BN particles can reduce the porosity and slightly increase the roughness of the composite ceramic coating. Furthermore, the growth rate of the coating and the conversion of γ-Al 2 O 3 and α-Al 2 O 3 were promoted by the incorporation of h-BN particles via the change of the current. In addition, due to the presence of h-BN particles, the composite ceramic coating had a lower friction coefficient and a lower wear rate under dry sliding condition.

In this study, h-BN@PDA@TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles were prepared and used as functional fillers to prepare PVA nanocomposites, and the effects of hybrid particles on PVA thermal conductivity and flame retardant properties were studied. The results showed that hybrid particles could significantly improve the thermal conductivity and flame retardant performance of PVA composites, and effectively inhibit the release of toxic gases such as combustible pyrolysis products and CO, which enhanced the fire safety of PVA composites. When the addition amount of hybrid particles is 5 wt%, the thermal conductivity of PVA composites is 239.1% higher than that of the pure PVA and the corresponding temperature of PVA composites with a mass loss of 5 wt% was 16.2°C higher than that of the pure PVA. This is due to the barrier effect of h-BN and the protective effect of dense carbon layer catalyzed by TiO2.

The occurrence of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) in sediments has been widely reported, but research on NPAH bioavailability is lacking. In this study, a self-made zeolite imidazolate framework-8/hexagonal boron nitride (ZIF-8/h-BN) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber and commercial Tenax are compared as efficient tools to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments with bioassays using Cipangopaludina chinensis . During the process of SPME, the NPAH concentrations on the ZIF-8/h-BN fibers reached extraction equilibrium after 72 h. The fiber extraction of NPAHs in sediments was well-fitted by the pseudo first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 2 × 10 −2 h −1 (R 2 > 0.98). The extraction rates ranking of NPAHs in sediments was 2-nitrobiphenyl>1-nitropyrene>5-nitroacenaphthene>2-nitrofluorene. Compared with SPME, NPAH concentrations reached equilibrium after 168 h for the Tenax extraction. The orders of magnitude of fast, slow, and very slow desorption rate constants were 10 −1 , 10 −2 , and 10 −4 , respectively. At extraction equilibrium (168 h), the SPME was close to the bioavailability of the NPAHs in sediments to Cipangopaludina chinensis with a slope statistically approximated to one. In addition, the linear regression for SPME (R 2 = 0.7285) was slightly higher than that of the Tenax extraction (R 2 = 0.7168) over a short time (6 h). This could be because the coating material of ZIF-8/h-BN can rapidly adsorb freely dissolved NPAHs, and the SPME fibers can accurately predict the bioaccumulated concentrations of NPAHs in exposed organisms by measuring the concentration of NPAHs in the pore water of sediment. This study provides a time-saving and easy procedure to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments.

Nano-filler reinforced polymer-based composites have attracted extensive attention in tribology; however, to date, it is still challenging to construct a favorable lubricating system with excellent compatibility, lubricity and durability using nano-filler reinforced polymer-based composites. Herein, sulfonated boron nitride nano-sheets (h-BN@PSDA) are prepared and used as nano-fillers for epoxy resins (EPs), to improve friction and wear along with thermal conductivity. Furthermore, inspired by the lubricating principle and structure of snail mucus, a solvent-free carbon dot-based nanofluid (F-CDs) is fabricated and used for the first time as the lubricant for h-BN@PSDA/EPs. Both poly (4-styrene sulfonate) and polyether amine grafted on the surface of F-CDs contribute to branched structures and multiple interfacial absorption effects. Extraordinarily low friction and wear are detected after long-term sliding. The average coefficient of friction and wear rate of h-BN@PSDA/EPs composites are reduced by 95.25% and 99.42% respectively, in the presence of the F-CD nanofluid, compared to that of EPs. Besides, the added h-BN nano-sheets increase the thermal conductivity (TC) of EPs from 0.178 to 0.194 W (m−1 K−1). The distinguished lubrication performances are likely due to the formation of a hybrid nanostructure of 0D F-CDs and 2D h-BN@PSDA together with the “rolling–sliding” and “self-mending” effects of added F-CDs.

Driven by the rapid development of autonomous vehicles, ultrasensitive photodetectors with high signal-to-noise ratio and ultraweak light detection capability are urgently needed. Due to its intriguing attributes, the emerging van der Waals material, indium selenide (In2Se3), has attracted extensive attention as an ultrasensitive photoactive material. However, the lack of an effective photoconductive gain mechanism in individual In2Se3 inhibits its further application. Herein, we propose a heterostructure photodetector consisting of an In2Se3 photoactive channel, a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) passivation layer, and a CsPb(Br/I)3 quantum dot gain layer. This device manifests a signal-to-noise ratio of 2 × 106 with responsivity of 2994 A/W and detectivity of 4.3 × 1014 Jones. Especially, it enables the detection of weak light as low as 0.03 μW/cm2. These performance characteristics are ascribed to the interfacial engineering. In2Se3 and CsPb(Br/I)3 with type-II band alignment promote the separation of photocarriers, while h-BN passivates the impurities on CsPb(Br/I)3 and promises a high-quality carrier transport interface. Furthermore, this device is successfully integrated into an automatic obstacle avoidance system, demonstrating promising application prospects in autonomous vehicles.

The amino-functionalized carbon dots (FCDs) were used as intercalators to exfoliate and modify the boron nitride for obtaining the FCDs/boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) nanocomposite . The FCDs, BNNS and FCDs/BNNS were respectively dispersed into the waterborne epoxy (WEP) matrix to prepare the corresponding modified WEP coatings on the copper substrate through the spray coating method. Their micro/macro-morphologies, compositions, surface roughness , self-healing and corrosion resistance behaviors were comparatively researched. Electrochemical results and surface morphology observation show that WEP FCDs/BNNS coating possesses the optimal corrosion protection performance after 40 d immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. And the impedance value (4.97 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 ) of WEP FCDs/BNNS coating is still about an order of magnitude higher than that of pure WEP coating (3.36 × 10 4 Ω cm 2 ). In the WEP FCDs/BNNS coating system, BNNS as physical barrier extend the diffusion path of corrosive species and block inherent defects of the coating, thus slowing down the corrosion rate; FCDs as intercalators strip BNNS enhancing its physical barrier effect. Besides, FCDs can also act as the effective corrosion inhibitors , which could adsorb on the exposed or corroded copper surface and hinder the further corrosion. Their synergistic effects of physical barrier performance from BNNS and self-healing capability from FCDs endow the WEP composite coating with outstanding corrosion resistance.

A novel nanofiller-reinforced SLIPS is developed on AZ31 Mg alloys. • CeO 2 @PDA/h-BN nanofillers enhance the corrosion resistance and self-healing properties of coatings. • Self-healing ability is due to rapid lubricant redistribution and passive film formation. • The coating shows better long-term corrosion protection than conventional SLIPSs. Conventional slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have emerged as an effective strategy to protect Mg alloys from corrosion. However, their anti-corrosion and self-healing performances remain insufficient for long-term service. Therefore, multifunctional CeO 2 @PDA/h-BN nanofillers were incorporated into liquid lubricant to fabricate nanofiller-reinforced SLIPSs (CeO 2 @PDA/h-BN-SLIPSs). In particular, this study systematically investigated influences of nanofiller concentrations on surface morphology, hydrophobicity, and electrochemical behavior. CeO 2 @PDA/h-BN-SLIPS-8, prepared at a concentration of 8 mg/mL, displayed the lowest corrosion current density (8.22 × 10 -11 A/cm 2 ) and the highest impedance modulus (9.06 × 10 8 Ω cm 2 at 0.01 Hz). This was ascribed to the synergistic effects of high surface hydrophobicity provided by a lubricant layer, tortuous diffusion pathways provided by h-BN nanosheets, ion-exchange property of MgAl-LDH, and active corrosion inhibition of CeO 2 . In addition, scanning vibration electrode technique (SVET) analysis confirmed good self-healing behavior of CeO 2 @PDA/h-BN-SLIPS-8, arising from both rapid lubricant redistribution and formation of protective cerium-based passive films. Overall, this study provides an effective strategy for fabrication of robust anti-corrosive and self-healing SLIPSs, offering enhanced corrosion protection for Mg alloys in industry.
