The prominence of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) nanomaterials in the energy industry has recently grown rapidly due to their broad applications in newly developed energy systems. This was necessitated as a response to the demand for mechanically and chemically stable platforms with superior thermal conductivity for incorporation in next-generation energy devices. Conventionally, the electrical insulation and surface inertness of 2D h-BN limited their large integration in the energy industry. However, progress on surface modification, doping, tailoring the edge chemistry, and hybridization with other nanomaterials paved the way to go beyond those conventional characteristics. The current application range, from various energy conversion methods (e.g., thermoelectrics) to energy storage (e.g., batteries), demonstrates the versatility of 2D h-BN nanomaterials for the future energy industry. In this review, the most recent research breakthroughs on 2D h-BN nanomaterials used in energy-based applications are discussed, and future opportunities and challenges are assessed.

“…Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), stripped from h‐BN, possess a good two‐dimensional lamellar structure, similar to graphene nanosheets 18,19 . But unlike graphene, except for excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, BNNSs also have brilliant electrical insulating property 20,21 . After adding BNNSs to AlN, it can effectively improve the mechanical properties of AlN ceramics without changing its own electrical insulation property.…”

The boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs)/aluminum nitride (AlN) composites were prepared by hot press sintering at 1600 • C. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of the samples were measured, and the effect of adding BNNSs to AlN ceramics on the properties was studied. It is found that the addition of BNNSs can effectively improve the mechanical properties of AlN. When the additional amount is 1 wt%, the bending strength of the sample reaches the maximum value of 456.6 MPa, which is 23.1% higher than that of the AlN sample without BNNSs. The fracture toughness of the sample is 4.47 MPa m 1/2 , a 68.7% improvement over the sample without BNNSs. The composites obtained in the experiment have brilliant mechanical properties.

Magnetism in atomically thin functional materials can be an important phenomenon for exploring two-dimensional magneto-optics. Magneto-optical experimental data have revealed significant Kerr signals in insulator thin films. Here, the magneto-optical Kerr effect of oxygen functionalized and doped hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been investigated by performing first-principles calculations. We calculated Kerr angle and Kerr ellipticity for functionalized hBN as an attention-drawn material. Moreover, increasing of oxygen doping percentage leads to the introduction of surface plasmon to hBN. Our findings show that the functionalized hBN can tolerate high-temperature conditions, keeping oxygen atoms bridge-bonded. These giant opto/magnetic responses of insulating 2D materials provide a platform for the potential designing of magneto-optical devices.
