Dehydrogenation of ammonia on free-standing and epitaxial hexagonal boron nitride

Abstract

We report a thermodynamically feasible mechanism for producing H2 from NH3 using hBN as a catalyst. 2D catalysts have exceptional surface areas with unique thermal and electronic properties suited for...

The single metal atom (Ni, Pd, Pt) anchored on defective hexagonal boron nitride for oxidative desulfurization

“…For example, h-BN performs well for the adsorption of biomolecules flavonoids, and battery-active materials, 28,29 and it proves feasible thermodynamically to produce H 2 from NH 3 by using h-BN as the catalyst. 30 Additionally, the monovacancies, such as the vacancy of boron (V B ) and the vacancy of nitrogen (V N ), have been easily obtained in the h-BN monolayers or nanotube synthesis. [31][32][33][34] Confining the metal atom on such defects will have strong interactions which lead to stabilizing the SACs with enhanced catalytic activity.…”
