Wurtzite boron nitride (h-BN) is a versatile material with remarkable properties. Its hexagonal structure and wide bandgap endow it with high thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and thermal stability. Its optical properties include a large exciton binding energy, making it a promising candidate for optoelectronics. Mechanically, h-BN exhibits exceptional hardness and lubricity. These unique properties find applications in high-power electronics, thermal management, sensors, membranes, and lubricants, among others. Ongoing research and development focus on optimizing h-BN synthesis methods, exploring novel applications, and integrating it with other materials to enhance its functionalities.
