The Application of 2D Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) and Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) in Low-Temperature Fuel Cells: Catalyst Supports, ORR Catalysts, and Membrane Fillers
In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have gained remarkable attention due to their resemblance to graphene. These materials have a wide range of applications in energy and other sustai...

| description | In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have gained remarkable attention due to their resemblance to graphene. These materials have a wide range of applications in energy and other sustainable fields, including heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis. g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> and h-BN can play different roles in low-temperature fuel cells. They can be used as catalyst supports, catalysts for oxygen reduction, and membrane fillers. In this work, the application of pure and doped g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> and h-BN, alone or as composite materials, in low-temperature fuel cells is overviewed. |
