Fuel cells hold great promise for clean and sustainable energy, whereas their widespread commercialization strongly depends on the development of highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts. Herein, three-dimensional fluffy PtPd nanocorals (NCs) loaded on two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) supports were successfully achieved by a simple one-step strategy based on ultraviolet (UV) laser-excited photochemical reaction. As for alcohol oxidation reaction, the h-BN/PtPd NCs with unique nanoporous surface provide more enhanced electrocatalytic performances than many previous nanocatalysts, owing to abundant active sites and plentiful charge-transfer channels formed on high electrode–electrolyte contact area. Especially, the mass activity of h-BN/PtPd NCs is about 962.8 mA mgPtPd–1 in methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline solution, which can be maintained at ∼274.9 mA mgPtPd–1 (28.6% of the initial one) even after a 5 × 104 s durability test. The present work not only offers an advanced electrocatalyst for long-term fuel cells but also provides a versatile route for construction of complex metallic nanocomposites on 2D supports, holding great potential for diverse energy-related applications.

Developing multifunctional catalyst for cascade reactions such as one-pot synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) from acetone and hydrogen is critical for practical applications. Here, we adjusted the acid-base property by doping phosphor into h-BN and used it as support for Pd. Experiments and characterizations indicated that the phosphor-doped h-BN could catalyze the aldol condensation and dehydration by modulating the ratio of BNH 2 , N 2 P=O and N 3 P-OH groups thereon. An acetone conversion of 58.24% and MIBK selectivity of 68.39% were achieved over Pd/BN( H )P-E-0.07, providing a new avenue for metal-free materials utilized in the cascade reactions.

Textured Si3N4/BN composite ceramics were successfully fabricated using two-step sintering, combining pseudo-hot isostatic pressing (PHIP) and gas pressure sintering. The grain size of h-BN platelets had a significant influence on densification and mechanical and thermal properties. With an increase in h-BN grain size, the volume density of the composite ceramics gradually decreased, while flexural strength gradually increased. Meanwhile, larger h-BN platelets were more likely to trigger toughening mechanisms like large-angle deflection and greatly increase fracture toughness. Through proper selection of h-BN grain size, textured ceramics, with the addition of h-BN platelets of 1–2 μm, showed high thermal conductivity (∼92 W∙m−1∙K−1) and reliable mechanical properties (∼540 MPa, ∼7.5 MPa∙m1/2, ∼11.1 GPa). Therefore, texture control is an effective means of improving the overall performance of ceramic materials. Novel textured composite ceramics thus have great potential in large-scale fabrication and directional heat dissipation applications.

Construction of semiconductor-assisted noble metal nanocomposites has been approved as an efficient strategy to achieve promising photocatalysts. In this paper, highly efficient AuNPs/h-BN nanocomposites have been fabricated by loading gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as interfacial electron transfer mediators onto the hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BN). The SEM and HRTEM images, together with XPS analysis revealed that AuNPs were successfully deposited onto the surface of h-BN and the layered heterojunctions were generated between AuNPs and h-BN. The optimum 15%AuNPs/h-BN nanocomposites exhibit dramatically enhanced photocatalytic performance for degradation of levofloxacin hydrochloride with 84.4% removal rate, and hydrogen evolution of 61.15 μmol within 5 h. It is almost 4 and 61 times higher than that of pure h-BN, respectively. In addition, this is the first time using h-BN based material to evaluate the elimination efficiency of levofloxacin hydrochloride. The corresponding enhanced mechanism for 15%AuNPs/h-BN can be attributed to the effective interfacial electron-hole pairs separation and migration between h-BH and AuNPs and its surface Plasmon absorption (SPA). Moreover, the possible decomposition pathways for levofloxacin hydrochloride are proposed according to the UPLC-MS analysis. Herein, we have provided a good example for removing antibiotic residues by using h-BN-based metal nanocomposites towards environmental remediation.

The highly selective and direct oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid (AA) using molecular oxygen under solvent-free conditions represents a “dream reaction” in industrial catalysis, yet is severely hampered by the inherent chemical inertness of C-H bond and the challenging activation of O 2 . Addressing this grand challenge, we report a non-metal heterointerface engineering strategy to construct an advanced B/F-doped h-BN/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction catalyst (known as BN/CN-BF 4 ) via a facile synergistic ultrasonication and thermal treatment utilizing the ionic liquid. The resulting BN/CN-BF 4 exhibits a powerfully ability to regulate interfacial electronic microenvironment, as evidenced by spectroscopic, electrochemical analysis, and DFT calculations, which reveal a type-II staggered band alignment and an internal electric field (IEF) formation across the heterojunction. This precisely engineered heterointerface achieved a remarkable breakthrough in catalytic performance, yielding a high cyclohexane conversion of 18.8% with an unprecedented selectivity for AA reaching 51.3% (a significant advancement over the typical 3%-5% conversion) in solvent-free system. Mechanistic investigations established a multi-step synergistic catalytic mechanism that B-N sites and H-bonding facilitate the initial C-H bond adsorption and activation; simultaneously, the IEF-driven directional electron transfer and C-F bond formation significantly accelerate the activation of O 2 to generate highly reactive oxygen species, steering the reaction pathway directly towards the terminal product, adipic acid. This work provides a novel strategy for enhancing industrial selective oxidation by manipulating the interfacial electronic microenvironment with IEF, offering a promising route for advanced solvent-free and metal-free selective oxidation catalysts.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) play a crucial role in addressing the heat dissipation challenges associated with high-power electrical equipment. Apart from possessing excellent thermal conductivity, and they must also exhibit low contact thermal resistance to facilitate efficient heat transfer at the interface. In this study, a novel composite with a dual-network structure was prepared by interfacial grafting to achieve superior thermal conductivity. The composite comprises polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), functionalized boron nitride ( f -BN), and liquid metal (LM). This dual network structure effectively enhances phonon transportation and significantly improves the thermal transport performance of the composite. The thermal conductivity of the obtained composite can achieve 4.4 W/m·K, accompanied by a low contact thermal resistance of 0.32 °C·cm 2 /W. Furthermore, the dual network structure ensures the flexibility of the composite, as evidenced by the maximum elongation reaching 267.43% at a tensile strength of 0.35 MPa. This exceptional mechanical performance is expected to alleviate stress concentration issues arising from thermal expansion mismatch, thereby enhancing the practical applicability of the prepared TIMs. Overall, this study introduces a novel approach for fabricating flexible composites with high thermal conductivity and low contact thermal resistance, offering new insights into the preparation of TIMs.

In this work, we presented novel cycloaliphatic epoxy resin composites filled with multi-layer graphene (mG)/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with high thermal conductivity and good electrical insulating. Firstly, the h-BN platelets were modified by mussel-inspired method with dopamine chemistry to obtain the modified filler h-BN@PDA. And the attachment of polydopamine molecule improved the interfacial adhesion between polymer matrix and filler. Secondly, the mG with fixed content was mixed with h-BN@PDA and then the hybrid filler mG/h-BN@PDA was added to the cycloaliphatic epoxy resin to obtain the polymer composites . Because of the high aspect of the filler, low viscosity of the polymer matrix , and assistance of the gravity force, the hybrid filler would stack alignment. It was found that the hybridization of the filler and alignment of the hybrid filler resulted in the enhancement of properties of the composites such as the thermal decomposition, mechanical (tensile strength = 5.50 MPa), thermal (through-plane ∼ 1.27 W/m K, in-plane ∼ 1.31 W/m K) and electrical insulating (electrical conductivity < 1.5 × 10 −10 S/cm) properties. The obtained composites could be applied in thermal management area.

Photo-thermal catalytic (PTC) degradation as an ideal candidate for wastewater treatment is yet suffering from the unsatisfied recyclability due to the thermal effect-exacerbated serious photocorrosion of semiconductor-based catalysts. Based on polymeric graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) hybridized with antioxidative hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and grafted with stable Au nanoparticles (NPs), we provide thermostable g-C 3 N 4 /h-BN/Au nano-catalysts for high-efficient degradation of organic dyes at solar-activated heating condition. The fantastic PTC activity with optimal degradation rate up to ∼ 0.30 min −1 is far better than most mainstream hybrid catalysts. The unprecedented thermal recyclability is convincingly verified by consecutive 10 repeated tests within 500 min measurements under solar-driven heating condition (∼60 °C), wherein the negligible drop of degradation efficiency is only ∼ 0.2% lower than pristine one. The ingenious self-floating PTC membranes can be conveniently established by immobilizing the resultant nano-catalysts into bio-carbon porous frames and viscous bacterial nano-celluloses, facilitating practical wastewater decontamination in real-world scenarios.

Achieving high thermal conductivity in composites with low filler content is a major challenge in current research. In this paper, polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) were used as polymer matrix, and the hybrid thermal conductive filler, formed by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and aminated carbon nanotubes (NH 2 -CNTs), was integrated into matrix for the fabrication of thermal conductive composites (PP/PA6/h-BN and PP/PA6/h-BN@CNTs) via two-step melt blending technology. The thermal conductive fillers were selectively distributed in a phase of the polymer matrix with a co-continuous structure, forming a thermal conductive path with a three-dimensional network structure. The results show that when the content of h-BN reaches 25 wt%, the thermal conductivity of the PP/PA6/h-BN and PP/PA6/h-BN@CNTs composites was 199% and 300% higher than that of PP/PA6, respectively. Through testing the volume resistivity of the composites, it was confirmed that PP/PA6/h-BN@CNTs composites maintain good electrical insulation. Both composites demonstrated remarkable thermal conductivity and outstanding electrical insulation. This research provides a facile way to prepare highly thermal conductivity polymer composites with excellent processing performances and electrical insulation. Highlights h-BN@CNTs hybrid fillers with sandwich structure were prepared. A two-step blending method was used to control the selective distribution of hybrid fillers in a phase of the polymer matrix with a co-continuous structure. The hybrid filler formed a thermal conductive path with a three-dimensional network structure in the collective. PP/PA6/h-BN@CNTs composites demonstrated remarkable thermal conductivity, outstanding electrical insulation and favorable processing performances.

The rapid development of electronics puts forward higher requirements on the low dielectric materials . Especially, the polymer-based dielectric film with low dielectric constant , high thermal conductivity , and heat-resistance is essential to the flexible electronics. However, the balance of these intended performance is still a big challenge. In this work, we reported the flexible poly (arylene ether nitrile) (PEN) fibrous composite film with low dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity by coaxial electrospinning hot-pressing technique. Interestingly, such bi-functional fibrous composite film was rationally designed by using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/fluorinated PEN (PEN-F) as shell layer and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the core layer of fibers, which could further form the porous, hollow, and balsam pear-shaped structure after the hot-pressing and dissolution process. Owing to introduction of the h-BN nanosheets , intrinsic fluorine groups of PEN-F, and hollow nanofiber structure, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of fibrous composite film could be as low as 1.74 and 0.0092 at 1 kHz, respectively. Furthermore, the in-plane thermal conductivity of fibrous composite film could reach 0.811 W m −1 K −1 by incorporation of 7 wt% h-BN. In addition, the fibrous composite film exhibited high thermal stability (T 5 % = 498 °C and T g = 182 °C) and mechanical strength (Tensile strength = 39.2 MPa and tensile modulus = 250.9 MPa). Therefore, this work opens up an alternative method to prepare high-performance polymer composite film with low dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity, which suggests the broad application in the future flexible electronics.

Alcohol sensing plays a critical role in medical detection and personal health management. AIE materials with high sensitivity, selectivity and fast response have been widely used in biosensing, but their application in the field of alcohol sensing still needs further research and development. Furthermore, developing flexible phase change materials (PCMs) is significant for the research of human-body thermal management. In this study, a kind of flexible polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyethylene glycol (PEG)/Py-CH (pyrene-based AIE molecule)/SiO 2 @h-BN composite fiber textile (PAB) with alcohol sensing performance, writable fluorescence property, and human body thermal management function has been prepared via electrospinning technique. The PAN/PVP fiber matrix successfully integrated AIE fluorescent sensing material and PCM into a multi-functional composite with great shape stability. Owing to the introduction of novel pyrene-based Py-CH with AIE characteristic, this innovative textile exhibited wonderful fluorescent properties, including sensitive alcohol fluorescence sensing, writable fluorescence performance and variable temperature fluorescence. Furthermore, proposed PAB textile delivered a high energy storage density of 87∼90 J/g, excellent thermal reliability, great comprehensive mechanical flexibility and enhanced thermal conductivity for flexible human body thermal management. Hence, this flexible multifunctional AIE/PCM composite sensing textiles can be widely used in alcohol sensing, fluorescence anti-counterfeiting and flexible body thermal management.
