Recent progress in the tailored growth of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride via chemical vapour deposition

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed many advances in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) materials in both fundamental research and practical applications. This has ultimately been inspired by the unique electrical and optical properties, as well as the excellent thermal and chemical stability of h-BN. However, controllable and scalable preparation of 2D h-BN materials has been challenging. Very recently, the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique has shown great promise for achieving high-quality h-BN samples with excellent layer-number selectivity and large-area uniformity, considerably contributing to the latest advancements of 2D material research. In this tutorial review, we provide a systematic summary of the state-of-the-art in the tailored production of 2D h-BN on various substrates by virtue of CVD routes.
