Flashing creates hard-to-get 2D boron nitride: Chemists adapt instant process to make more valuable nanomaterials
Rice University scientists who “flash” materials to synthesize substances like graphene have turned their attention to boron nitride, highly valued for its thermal and chemical stability. The process by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour exposes a precursor to rapid heating and cooling to produce two-dimensional materials, in this case pure boron nitride and…
