Abstract

In this study, a high yield of uniform h-BN nanocrystals that are composed of two sets of exposed {102} and {002} planes has been prepared by using NaBH4, FeCl3 and NaN3 in a stainless steel autoclave at 750 °C. The cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of the samples indicates their potential application as optoelectronic materials in the ultraviolet region; they have also been used as a gold nanoparticle support for the relatively highly selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde (the conversion and selectivity were ∼30% and 98%, respectively).
