EFFICIENT AND FACILE SYNTHESIS OF HYDROXY-FUNCTIONALIZED HEXAGONAL BORON NITRIDE NANOSHEETS BY ION-ASSISTED LIQUID PHASE EXFOLIATION METHOD by Gülşah Yaman Uzunoğlu

“…The resulting exfoliated h-BNNSs are hydroxyl-functionalized on their surface. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the successive execution of the hydrothermal treatment in the presence of excess alkali metal hydroxides and probe sonication as a facile and efficient exfoliation process, resulting in dispersions of h-BNNS-OH in water with remarkably high stability (beyond 9 weeks) and high product yield (17 %) at only one exfoliation cycle.…”
