Abstract
This review highlights recent advancements in the synthesis, processing, properties, and applications of 2D-material integrated hydrogels, with a focus on their performance in bone-related applications. Various synthesis methods and types of 2D nanomaterials, including graphene, graphene oxide, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXene are discussed, along with strategies for their incorporation into hydrogel matrices. These composite hydrogels exhibit tunable mechanical properties, high surface area, strong near-infrared (NIR) photon absorption and controlled release capabilities, making them suitable for a range of regeneration and therapeutic applications. In cancer therapy, 2D-material-based hydrogels show promise for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, and drug delivery (chemotherapy). The photothermal properties of these materials enable selective tumor ablation upon NIR irradiation, while their high drug-loading capacity facilitates targeted and controlled release of chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, 2D-materials -infused hydrogels exhibit potent antibacterial activity, making them effective against multidrug-resistant infections and disruption of biofilm generated on implant surface. Moreover, their synergistic therapy approach combines multiple treatment modalities such as photothermal, chemo, and immunotherapy to enhance therapeutic outcomes. In bio-imaging, these materials serve as versatile contrast agents and imaging probes, enabling their real-time monitoring during tumor imaging. Furthermore, in bone regeneration, most 2D-materials incorporated hydrogels promote osteogenesis and tissue regeneration, offering potential solutions for bone defects repair. Overall, the integration of 2D materials into hydrogels presents a promising platform for developing multifunctional theragenerative biomaterials.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2404155.

Abstract
Most 2D nonlinear optical (NLO) materials do not have an ultrawide bandgap, therefore, they are unsuitable for working in the deep-ultraviolet spectral range (< 200 nm). Herein, the theoretical prediction of an excellent monolayer BeP2O4H4 (ML-BPOH) is reported. DFT analyses suggest a low cleavage energy (≈45 meV per atom) from a naturally existed bulk-BPOH material, indicating feasible exfoliation. This novel 2D material exhibits excellent properties including an ultrawide bandgap (Eg) of 7.84 eV, and a strong second-order nonlinear susceptibility (d b u l k e f f $d_{bulk}^{eff}$ = 0.43 pm V-1), which is comparable to that of benchmark bulk-KBBF crystal (d16 = 0.45 pm V-1). The wide bandgap and large SHG effect of ML-BPOH are mainly derived from the (PO2H2)- tetrahedron. Notably, ML-BPOH exhibits an outstanding 50% variation in dsheet under minor stress stimuli (±3%) due to rotation of structurally rigid (PO2H2)- tetrahedron. This indicates significant potential for application in material deformation monitoring.

Abstract
Bulk hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) ceramics with structural integrity, high-temperature resistance and low expansion rate are expected for multifunctional applications in extreme conditions. However, due to its sluggish self-diffusion and intrinsic inertness, it remains a great challenge to overcome high-energy barrier for h-BN powder sintering. Herein, a cross-linking and pressureless-welding strategy is reported to produce bulk boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) ceramics with well-crystalized and dense B-N covalent-welding frameworks. The essence of this synthesis strategy lies in the construction of >B─O─H2C─H2C─H2N:→B< bond bridge connection structure among hydroxyl functionalized BNNSs (BNNSs-OH) using bifunctional monoethanolamine (MEA) as cross-linker through esterification and intermolecular-coordination reactions. The prepared BNNSs-interlaced ceramics have densities not less than 1.2 g cm-3, and exhibit exceptional mechanical robustness and resiliency, excellent thermomechanical stability, ultra-low linear thermal expansion coefficient of 0.06 ppm °C-1, and high thermal diffusion coefficient of 4.76 mm2 s-1 at 25 °C and 3.72 mm2 s-1 at 450 °C. This research not only reduces the free energy barrier from h-BN particles to bulk ceramics through facile multi-step physicochemical reaction, but also stimulates further exploration of multifunctional applications for bulk h-BN ceramics over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
In this research, we developed boron-rich nanoparticles that can be used for boron neutron capture therapy as potential carriers for boron delivery to cancerous tissues. Functionalized carbonated boron nitride nanostructures (CBNs) were successfully synthesized in self-propagating combustion waves in mixtures of high-nitrogen explosives and boron compounds. The products' composition, morphology, and structural features were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen sorption analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The extreme conditions prevailing in combustion waves favor the formation of nanosized CBN hollow grains with highly disordered structures that are properly functionalized on the surface and inside the particles. Therefore, they are characterized by high porosity and good dispersibility in water, which are necessary for medical applications. During biological tests, a concentration-dependent effect of the obtained boron nitride preparations on the viability of normal and neoplastic cells was demonstrated. Moreover, the assessment of the degree of binding of fluorescently labeled nanoparticles to selected cells confirmed the relationships between the cell types and the concentration of the preparation at different incubation time points.

Abstract
Thermal decomposition of NH3BH3 and Li(BH3NH2BH2NH2BH3) was investigated at temperatures up to 1000 °C under various conditions with an inert atmosphere. It was found that complete dehydrogenation of ammonia borane towards amorphous boron nitride (a-BN) occurs at 850 °C when using monel reactors or at 1000 °C with the hot isostatic pressing method (HIP), which is significantly lower than was earlier reported. Li(BH3NH2BH2NH2BH3) was found to decompose towards hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) at 1000 °C with the HIP method but at 850 °C in monel reactors towards a mixture of a-BN and h-BN. The findings are confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Abstract
The conventional fabrication of bulk van der Waals (vdW) materials requires a temperature above 1,000 °C to sinter from the corresponding particulates. Here we report the near-room-temperature densification (for example, ∼45 °C for 10 min) of two-dimensional nanosheets to form strong bulk materials with a porosity of <0.1%, which are mechanically stronger than the conventionally made ones. The mechanistic study shows that the water-mediated activation of van der Waals interactions accounts for the strong and dense bulk materials. Initially, water adsorbed on two-dimensional nanosheets lubricates and promotes alignment. The subsequent extrusion closes the gaps between the aligned nanosheets and densifies them into strong bulk materials. Water extrusion also generates stresses that increase with moulding temperature, and too high a temperature causes intersheet misalignment; therefore, a near-room-temperature moulding process is favoured. This technique provides an energy-efficient alternative to design a wide range of dense bulk van der Waals materials with tailored compositions and properties.

Abstract
Membrane-based osmotic energy harvesting is a promising technology with zero carbon footprint. High-performance ion-selective membranes (ISMs) are the core components in such applications. Recent advancement in 2D nanomaterials opens new avenues for building highly efficient ISMs. However, the majority of the explored 2D nanomaterials have a negative surface charge, which selectively enhances cation transport, resulting in the underutilization of half of the available ions. In this study, ISMs based on layered double hydroxide (LDH) with tunable positive surface charge are studied. The membranes preferentially facilitate anion transport with high selectivity. Osmotic energy harvesting device based on these membranes reached a power density of 2.31 W m-2 under simulated river/sea water, about eight times versus that of a commercial membrane tested under the same conditions, and up to 7.05 W m-2 under elevated temperature and simulated brine/sea water, and long-term stability with consistent performance over a 40-day period. A prototype reverse electrodialysis energy harvesting device, comprising a pair of LDH membranes and commercial cation-selective membranes, is able to simultaneously harvest energy from both cations and anions achieving a power density of 6.38 W m-2 in simulated river/sea water, demonstrating its potential as building blocks for future energy harvesting systems.

Abstract
Boron Nitride (h-BN) possesses unique qualities like increased thermal conductivity, non-toxic nature, and environmental friendliness; hence, it is a good reinforcing agent for chlorobutyl rubber (CIIR). Tannic acid (TA) holds excellent bio-functional properties and is considered as an exceptional bio-exfoliating agent. Hence, in this study, we have utilized the bio-exfoliating ability of TA to exfoliate h-BN and evaluate its efficiency in reinforcing the CIIR matrix. Results demonstrate the exceptional role of tannic acid in imparting multifunctionality to chlorobutyl rubber. CIIR matrix introduced with h-BN:TA (h-BN:TA/CIIR) display excellent mechanical performance due to the reinforcing effect shown by excess TA in addition to the exfoliating effect. In addition, h-BN:TA/CIIR composite exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. The retention of thermal decontamination efficiency of the composites with increase in the number of cycles ensures their promising application in the field of reusable gloves and chemical protective clothing. The exfoliated filler created a tortuous path inside the matrix which prevents the permeation of solvent. Hence the work intends to synergize the hydrophobic nature of h-BN, exfoliating capacity of TA and the barrier abilities of CIIR for the adsorption of oil from oil-water mixture and portrays the future of the trio in water purification.

Selective ion transport underpins fundamental biological processes for efficient energy conversion and signal propagation. Mimicking these 'ionics' in synthetic nanofluidic channels has been increasingly promising for realizing self-sustained systems by harvesting clean energy from diverse environments, such as light, moisture, salinity gradient, etc. Here, we report a spatially nanoconfined ion separation strategy that enables harvesting electricity from CO2 adsorption. This breakthrough relies on the development of Nanosheet-Agarose Hydrogel (NAH) composite-based generators, wherein the oppositely charged ions are released in water-filled hydrogel channels upon adsorbing CO2. By tuning the ion size and ion-channel interactions, the released cations at the hundred-nanometer scale are spatially confined within the hydrogel network, while ångström-scale anions pass through unhindered. This leads to near-perfect anion/cation separation across the generator with a selectivity (D-/D+) of up to 1.8 × 106, allowing conversion into external electricity. With amplification by connecting multiple as-designed generators, the ion separation-induced electricity reaching 5 V is used to power electronic devices. This study introduces an effective spatial nanoconfinement strategy for widely demanded high-precision ion separation, encouraging a carbon-negative technique with simultaneous CO2 adsorption and energy generation.

Abstract
The 2D materials exhibit numerous technological applications, but their scalable production is a core challenge. Herein, ball milling exfoliation in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and polystyrene (PS) is demonstrated to completely exfoliate hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and tungsten disulfide (WS2). The exfoliation yield of 91%, 93%, 92%, and 92% and average aspect ratios of 743, 565, 564, and 502 for BNNSs, graphene, MoS2, and WS2, respectively, are achieved. Integrating exfoliated BNNSS in the polystyrene matrix, 3768 % thermal conductivity in the axial direction and 316% in the cross-plane direction at 12 wt.% loading is increased. Also, the in-plane and cross-plane electrical conductivity of 6.3 × 10-4 S m-1 and 6.6 × 10-3 S m-1, respectively, and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of 63.3 dB is achieved by exfoliated graphene nanosheets based composite. High thermal and electrical conductivities and EMI shielding are attributed to the high aspect ratio and ultrathin morphology of the exfoliated nanosheets, which exert high charge mobility and form better the percolation network in the composite films due to their high surface area. The process demonstrate herein can produce substantial quantities of diverse 2D nanosheets for widespread commercial utilization.

Abstract
Achieving light modulation in the spectral range of 200-280 nm is a prerequisite for solar-blind ultraviolet communication, where current technologies are mainly based on the electro-luminescent self-modulation of the ultraviolet source. External light modulation through the electro-birefringence control of liquid crystal (LC) devices has shown success in the visible-to-infrared regions. However, the poor stability of conventional LCs against ultraviolet irradiation and their weak electro-optical response make it challenging to modulate ultraviolet light. Here, an external ultraviolet light modulator is demonstrated using two-dimensional boron nitride LC. It exhibits robust ultraviolet stability and a record-high specific electro-optical Kerr coefficient of 5.1 × 10⁻2 m V-2, being three orders of magnitude higher than those of other known electro-optical media that are transparent (or potentially transparent) in the ultraviolent spectral range. The sensitive response enables fabricating transmissive and stable ultraviolet-C electro-optical Kerr modulators for solar-blind ultraviolet light. An M-ary coding array with high transmission density is also demonstrated for solar-blind ultraviolet communication.

Abstract
2D materials, with advantages of atomic thickness and novel physical/chemical characteristics, have emerged as the vital building blocks for advanced lamellar membranes which possess promising potential in energy storage, ion separation, and catalysis. When 2D materials are stacked together, the van der Waals (vdW) force generated between adjacent layered nanosheets induces the construction of an ordered lamellar membrane. By regulating the interlayer spacing down to the nanometer or even sub-nanometer scale, rapid and selective ion transport can be achieved through such vdW gaps. The further improvement and application of qualified 2D materials-based lamellar membranes (2DLMs) can be fulfilled by the rational design of nanochannels and the intelligent micro-environment regulation under different stimuli. Focusing on the newly emerging advances of 2DLMs, in this review, the common top-down and bottom-up synthesis approaches of 2D nanosheets and the design strategy of functional 2DLMs are briefly introduced. Two essential ion transport mechanisms within vdW gaps are also involved. Subsequently, the responsive 2DLMs based on different types of external stimuli and their unique applications in nanofluid transport, membrane-based filters, and energy storage are presented. Based on the above analysis, the existing challenges and future developing prospects of 2DLMs are further proposed.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomaterials have attracted numerous attentions for application in various fields, including environmental governance. Understanding the environmental implications of h-BN is a prerequisite for its safe and sustainable use; nevertheless, information on the negative effect of h-BN on aquatic organisms and the underlying toxicity mechanisms is scarce. The present study found that low exposure doses (0.1-1 μg/mL) of micron-sized h-BN lamella apparently suppressed (maximally 45.3%) the growth of Chlorella vulgaris (a freshwater alga) via membrane damages and metabolic reprogramming. Experimental and simulation results verified that h-BN can penetrate into and then extract phospholipids from the cell membrane of algae due to the strong hydrophobic interactions between h-BN nanosheets and lipids, resulting in membrane permeabilization and integrity reduction. Oxidative stress-triggered lipid peroxidation also contributes to membrane destruction of algae. Metabolomics assay demonstrated that h-BN down-regulated the CO2-fixation associated Calvin cycle and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways in algae, thereby inhibiting energy synthesis and antioxidation process. Despite releasing soluble B inside cells, the B species exhibited negligible toxicity. These findings highlight the phenomena and mechanisms of h-BN toxicity in photosynthetic algae, which have great implications for guiding their safe use under the scenarios of global carbon neutrality.

Abstract
With the integration and miniaturization of chips, there is an increasing demand for improved heat dissipation. However, the low thermal conductivity (TC) of polymers, which are commonly used in chip packaging, has seriously limited the development of chips. To address this limitation, researchers have recently shown considerable interest in incorporating high-TC fillers into polymers to fabricate thermally conductive composites. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has emerged as a promising filler candidate due to its high-TC and excellent electrical insulation. This review comprehensively outlines the design strategies for using h-BN as a high-TC filler and covers intrinsic TC and morphology effects, functionalization methods, and the construction of three-dimensional (3D) thermal conduction networks. Additionally, it introduces some experimental TC measurement techniques of composites and theoretical computational simulations for composite design. Finally, the review summarizes some effective strategies and possible challenges for the design of h-BN fillers. This review provides researchers in the field of thermally conductive polymeric composites with a comprehensive understanding of thermal conduction and constructive guidance on h-BN design.

Abstract
Metallic lithium (Li) is the most attractive anode for Li batteries because it holds the highest theoretical specific capacity (3860 mA h g-1) and the lowest redox potential (-3.040 V vs SHE). However, the poor interface stability of the Li anode, which is caused by the high reactivity and dendrite formation of metallic Li upon cycling, leads to undesired electrochemical performance and safety issues. While two-dimensional boron nitride (BN) nanosheets have been utilized as an interfacial layer, the mechanism on how they stabilize the Li-electrolyte interface remains elusive. Here, we show how BN nanosheet interlayers suppress Li dendrite formation, enhance Li ion transport kinetics, facilitate Li deposition, and reduce electrolyte decomposition. We show through both simulation and experimental data that the desolvation process of a solvated Li ion within the interlayer nanochannels kinetically favors Li deposition. This process enables long cycling stability, reduced voltage polarization, improved interface stability, and negligible volume expansion. Their application as an interfacial layer in symmetric cells and full cells that display significantly improved electrochemical properties is also demonstrated. The knowledge gained in this study provides both critical insights and practical guidelines for designing a Li metal anode with significantly improved performance.

Abstract
Cellulose aerogels exhibit biocompatibility and biodegradability, rendering them promising candidate for application in building energy conservation and insulation materials. However, the intrinsic inflammability of pristine cellulose aerogel causes unneglectable safety concerns, hindering their application in energy-efficient buildings. Herein, a thermal insulating, fire-retardant, strong, and lightweight aerogel was produced via freeze-casting suspensions of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) and l-glutamine functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-g). The aerogel with a BNNS-g:CNF concentration ratio of 15:5 exhibited outstanding mechanical strength owing to the strong interaction between BNNS-g and CNF as well as satisfactory thermal insulating performance (0.052 W/m·K). Particularly, this aerogel showed excellent fire-retardant and self-extinguishing capabilities in the vertical burning test, which remained unscathed after over 60 s of burning in a butane flame. Further, the limit oxygen index (LOI) of this aerogel was 36.0 %, which was better than the LOIs of traditional petrochemical-based insulating materials. This study provides a promising strategy for producing aerogels with excellent properties using cellulose and other inorganic nano-fillers.

Abstract
BNNS (boron nitride nanosheets)-CNF (cellulose nanofibrils) nanocomposite films have attracted increasing attention for advanced thermal management applications. However, the nanocomposite films reported so far generally suffer from unsatisfactory overall performance, especially for thermal conductivity and tensile strength. In this work, a nanocomposite film with excellent overall performance was prepared by using CCNF1.2 (carboxymethylated CNF with 1.2 mmol·g-1 carboxyl content) simultaneously as effective dispersant and reinforcement matrix for BNNS. The high aspect ratio of CCNF1.2 is primarily responsible for its excellent dispersion capability for BNNS, which provides strong steric hindrance repulsion force. Meanwhile, CCNF1.2 manifests the strongest hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions with BNNS, and its carboxyl groups completely interact with the -OH of BNNS by hydrogen bonding. As a result, the BNNS-CCNF1.2 film (50 wt% BNNS) exhibits compacted aligned structure and superior comprehensive performance (125.0 MPa tensile strength, 17.3 W·m-1·K-1 in-plane thermal conductivity, and improved water resistance). This work demonstrates the effectiveness of CCNF in improving the overall performance of BNNS-CNF films and paves the way for their practical application in the advanced thermal management of next-generation electronic devices.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising in many fields related to energy utilization and thermal management. However, the low thermal conductivity and poor shape stability of PCMs restrict their direct thermal energy conversion and storage. The desired properties for PCMs are not only high thermal conductivity and excellent shape stability, but also high latent heat retention. In this study, the boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) were bridged by small amounts of GO nanosheets and successfully self-assembled into BNNS/rGO (BG) aerogels by hydrothermal and freeze-drying processes. The BG aerogels with interlaced macro-/micro-pores have been proven to be ideally suited as support frameworks for encapsulating polyethylene glycol (PEG). The obtained composite PCMs exhibit high thermal conductivity (up to 1.12 W m-1 K-1), excellent shape stability (maintain at 90 °C for 10 min), and high latent heat (187.2 J g-1) with a retention of 97.3% of the pure PEG, presenting great potential applications in energy storage systems and thermal management of electronic devices.

Abstract
Research on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) 2-dimensional nanostructures has gained traction due to their unique chemical, thermal, and electronic properties. However, to make use of these exceptional properties and fabricate macroscopic materials, hBN often needs to be exfoliated and dispersed in a solvent. In this review, we provide an overview of the many different methods that have been used for dispersing hBN. The approaches that will be covered in this review include solvents, covalent functionalization, acids and bases, surfactants and polymers, biomolecules, intercalating agents, and thermal expansion. The properties of the exfoliated sheets obtained and the dispersions are discussed, and an overview of the work in the field throughout the years is provided.

Abstract
Radioactive iodine vapors produced by nuclear fission can pose a significant risk to human health and the environment. Effective monitoring of iodine vapor leakage, capture and storage of radioactive iodine vapor are of great importance for the safety of the nuclear industry. Herein, we report a novel structure-function integrated solid iodine vapor adsorbent based on metal-modified boron nitride (BN) aerogel. Metal-modified BN aerogels incorporated with Cu/Ag nanoparticles (named as BN-Cu and BN-Ag, respectively) are successfully prepared by a metal-induced, ultrasonic-assisted, and in-situ transformation method. The metal-modified BN aerogels show improved mechanical properties in both of the maximum stress and residual deformation. Remarkably, due to the greatly enhanced "host-guest" and "guest-guest" effects by the introduction of metal nanoparticles, the BN-Cu and BN-Ag aerogels exhibit record-breaking iodine vapor adsorption capacities among inorganic adsorbents (1739.8 and 2234.13 wt% respectively), which are even higher than that of most organic adsorbents. Furthermore, an integrated iodine adsorption detection device based on metal-modified aerogels is constructed to realize real-time detection of the electrical properties of aerogels during iodine adsorption. This work provides a foundation for the development of BN aerogels as multifunctional platforms for effective iodine capture and detection. It also introduces new ideas for the use of structural-functional integrated materials in the prevention and control of radioactive iodine pollution.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) is being extensively studied in optoelectronic devices due to its electronic and photonic properties. However, the controlled optimization of h-BN's insulating properties is necessary to fully explore its potential in energy conversion and storage devices. In this work, we engineered the surface of h-BN nanoflakes via one-step in situ chemical functionalization using a liquid-phase exfoliation approach. The functionalized h-BN (F-h-BN) nanoflakes were subsequently dispersed on the surface of TiO2 to tune the TiO2/QDs interface of the optoelectronic device. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices based on TiO2/F-h-BN/QDs with optimized addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and scattering layers showed 46% improvement compared to the control device (TiO2/QDs). This significant improvement is attributed to the reduced trap/carrier recombination and enhanced carrier injection rate of the TiO2-CNTs/F-h-BN/QDs photoanode. Furthermore, by employing an optimized TiO2-CNTs/F-h-BN/QDs photoanode, QDs-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) yield an 18% improvement in photoconversion efficiency. This represents a potential and adaptability of our approach, and pathway to explore surface-engineered 2D materials to optimize the interface of solar energy conversion and other emerging optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered materials have been used as matrices to study the structure and dynamics of trapped water and ions. Here, we demonstrate unique features of proton transport in layered hexagonal boron nitride membranes with edge-functionalization subject to hydration. The hydration-independent interlayer spacing indicates the absence of water intercalation between the h-BN sheets. An 18-fold increase in water sorption is observed upon amine functionalization of h-BN sheet edges. A 7-orders of magnitude increase in proton conductivity is observed with less than 5% water loading attributable to edge-conduction channels. The extremely low percolation threshold and non-universal critical exponents (2.90 ≤ α ≤ 4.43), are clear signatures of transport along the functionalized edges. Anomalous thickness dependence of conductivity is observed and its plausible origin is discussed.

Abstract
Cutting-edge heat spreaders for soft and planar electronics require not only high thermal conductivity and a certain degree of flexibility but also remarkable self-adhesion without thermal interface materials, elasticity, arbitrary elongation along with soft devices, and smart properties involving thermal self-healing, thermochromism and so on. Nacre-like composites with excellent in-plane heat dissipation are ideal as heat spreaders for thin and planar electronics. However, the intrinsically poor viscoelasticity, i.e., adhesion and elasticity, prevents them from simultaneous self-adhesion and arbitrary elongation along with current flexible devices as well as incurring high interfacial thermal impedance. In this paper, we propose a soft thermochromic composite (STC) membrane with a layered structure, considerable stretchability, high in-plane thermal conductivity (~ 30 W m-1 K-1), low thermal contact resistance (~ 12 mm2 K W-1, 4-5 times lower than that of silver paste), strong yet sustainable adhesion forces (~ 4607 J m-2, 2220 J m-2 greater than that of epoxy paste) and self-healing efficiency. As a self-adhesive heat spreader, it implements efficient cooling of various soft electronics with a temperature drop of 20 °C than the polyimide case. In addition to its self-healing function, the chameleon-like behavior of STC facilitates temperature monitoring by the naked eye, hence enabling smart thermal management.

Abstract
The inherently intermittent feature of solar energy requires reliable energy conversion and storage systems for utilizing the most abundant solar energy. Phase change materials are potential solutions to store a large amount of heat produced by solar light. However, few of the phase change materials have the ability to efficiently convert solar energy into heat; additionally, phase change materials need to be encapsulated in porous substrates for enhancing their leaking resistance and photo-to-thermal performance. In this work, monolithic MXene aerogels, fabricated by Al3+ cross-linking and freeze-drying, were used as the encapsulation and photothermal materials. The composites phase change materials of MXene/polyethylene glycol can be made with a large polyethylene glycol loading above 90 wt% with the maximum of 97 wt%, owing to the large porosity of MXene aerogels. The low content of MXene has a limited impact on the phase transition temperature and enthalpy of polyethylene glycol, with an enthalpy retention rate ranging from 89.2 to 96.5% for 90-97 wt% polyethylene glycol loadings. MXene aerogels greatly improve the leaking resistance of polyethylene glycol above its melting point of 60 °C, even at 100 °C. The composites phase change materials also show outstanding cycling stability for 500 cycles of heat storage and release, retaining 97.7% of the heat storage capability. The optimized composite phase change material has a solar energy utilization of 93.5%, being superior to most of the reported results. Our strategy produces promising composite phase change materials for solar energy utilization using the MXene aerogels as the encapsulation and photothermal materials.

Abstract
Engineering different two-dimensional materials into heterostructured membranes with unique physiochemical properties and molecular sieving channels offers an effective way to design membranes for fast and selective gas molecule transport. Here we develop a simple and versatile pyro-layering approach to fabricate heterostructured membranes from boron nitride nanosheets as the main scaffold and graphene nanosheets derived from a chitosan precursor as the filler. The rearrangement of the graphene nanosheets adjoining the boron nitride nanosheets during the pyro-layering treatment forms precise in-plane slit-like nanochannels and a plane-to-plane spacing of ~3.0 Å, thereby endowing specific gas transport pathways for selective hydrogen transport. The heterostructured membrane shows a high H2 permeability of 849 Barrer, with a H2/CO2 selectivity of 290. This facile and scalable technique holds great promise for the fabrication of heterostructures as next-generation membranes for enhancing the efficiency of gas separation and purification processes.

Abstract
In this work, KH550 (γ-aminopropyl triethoxy silane)-modified hexagonal boron nitride (BN) nanofillers were synthesized through a one-step ball-milling route. Results show that the KH550-modified BN nanofillers synthesized by one-step ball-milling (BM@KH550-BN) exhibit excellent dispersion stability and a high yield of BN nanosheets. Using BM@KH550-BN as fillers for epoxy resin, the thermal conductivity of epoxy nanocomposites increased by 195.7% at 10 wt%, compared to neat epoxy resin. Simultaneously, the storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the BM@KH550-BN/epoxy nanocomposite at 10 wt% also increased by 35.6% and 12.4 °C, respectively. The data calculated from the dynamical mechanical analysis show that the BM@KH550-BN nanofillers have a better filler effectiveness and a higher volume fraction of constrained region. The morphology of the fracture surface of the epoxy nanocomposites indicate that the BM@KH550-BN presents a uniform distribution in the epoxy matrix even at 10 wt%. This work guides the convenient preparation of high thermally conductive BN nanofillers, presenting a great application potential in the field of thermally conductive epoxy nanocomposites, which will promote the development of electronic packaging materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based membranes have earned broad attention because of their excellent capability of separation performance in a mixture that can challenge the conventional membrane materials utilized in the organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) field. Boron nitride (BN) nanosheet membranes have displayed superb stability and separation ability in aqueous and organic solutions compared to the widely researched analogous graphene-based membranes; nevertheless, the concentration polarization of organic dye pollutants fades their separation performance and eclipses their potential adoption as a feasible technology. Herein, PDDA-modified BN (PBN) and sodium alginate-modified BN (SBN) nanosheet membranes with a thinner laminar structure are facially fabricated to improve the molecule separation performance compared to that of the pristine BN membrane. In aqueous separation application, the SBN membranes (2 μm) can reject positively charged dyes up to 100% and the PBN membrane (2 μm) could reject negatively charged dyes up to 100%. Impressively, the PBN membranes (3 μm) and SBN membranes (3 μm) demonstrate record high performances in OSN, with a permeance of 809 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 97.71% rejection to acid fuchsin in acetonitrile and 290 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 94.94% rejection to Azure B in dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. The charged PBN and SBN nanosheet membranes demonstrate stable separation capability, exhibiting their potential for practical water and organic solvent purification processes.

Abstract
2D nanostructured materials have been applied for water purification in the past decades due to their excellent separation and adsorption performance. However, the functional 2D nanostructured molybdenum trioxide (MoO3)has rarely been reported for the removal of dyes. Here, functionalized MoO3 (F-MoO3) nanosheets are successfully fabricated with a high specific surface area (106 cc g-1) by a one-step mechanochemical exfoliation method as a highly effective adsorbent for removing dyes from water. According to the Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and selected area electron diffraction analysis, functional groups (hdroxyl groups, amide groups, amine groups and amino groups) are identified in the as-prepared F-MoO3 nanosheets. The attached functional groups not only facilitate the dispersal ability of F-MoO3 nanosheets but also enhance the adsorption capacities. Thus, the performance (up to 556 mg g-1 when the initial concentration of Rhodamine B solution is 100 mg L-1) of as-prepared F-MoO3 nanosheets is almost two times higher than other reported MoO3 materials. Furthermore, the FTIR spectra, isotherm, and several factors (e.g., adsorbent dosage and adsorbate dosage) are also systematically investigated to explore the adsorption mechanism. Therefore, this work demonstrates that the F-MoO3 nanosheets are a promising candidate for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Zinc molybdate (ZMO) is a safe and effective grafting material for anticorrosion. Herein, we reported the synthesis of ZMO/h-BN with the labyrinth of capillary pores owing to the in situ growth of ZMO on flake hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using the hydrothermal method. The special morphological structure provided a tortuous path for aggressive species to the steel substrate, which extended and blocked the transmission of aggressive species, enhancing the physical corrosion barrier performance. In addition, the capillary pores of ZMO contributed to the competitive adsorption of Cl- in an electrolyte and reduced the diffusion of aggressive species, thus further delaying the corrosion process. Moreover, the capture of oxygen by forming a B-O bond with h-BN and the formation of a molybdate passive film are beneficial for the inhibition of cathodic and anodic reactions. As verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the anticorrosion performance of ZMO/h-BN coating increased by 49.58% and 130.72% compared with ZMO and epoxy resin (EP) coatings after immersing in a NaCl aqueous solution (3.50 wt%) for 72 h. This coating matrix provides an avenue for molybdate-based corrosion remediation.

Abstract
Solvothermal techniques are widely used to exfoliate many two-dimensional materials, but the formation mechanisms of these nanomaterials have not been clearly revealed. Herein, we discovered the dissociation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in solvothermal exfoliation evidenced by the formation of B(OH)3, NH4B5O8·4H2O, and (NH4)2B10O16·8H2O. In the selected solvents, the lateral sizes of the formed boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) are increased in the order of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile (MeCN), and isopropanol (IPA), suggesting the decreased dissolving abilities of these solvents to h-BN in turn. The dissociation behaviors are the properties of solvents themselves, but the inclusion of lithium chloride (LiCl) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) can elevate the dissociation degree and yield BNNSs with smaller lateral sizes due to the intercalating effects. The cation-π interactions make CTAB more effective in obtaining uniform BNNSs than using the neutral halogenated hydrocarbons as assistant reagents. The dissociation abilities of the solvents have strong relationships with the surface tension, Hansen solubility parameters distances (Ra), and polarities, whereas there is little relevance with the pressures. Meanwhile, we also observed the cracking of CTAB and the polymerization of MeCN in these reactions. Our findings indicate that the impurities are prone to be attached to the BNNSs exfoliated by the solvothermal route.

Abstract
Based on first-principles calculations, we compared the adsorption behaviors, electronic and magnetic properties of gas molecules (CO, NO, NO2, O2, NH3, H2O, H2 and N2) adsorbed on Pt-embedded arsenene and pristine arsenene. Our calculations show the interactions between molecules and arsenene can be enhanced by substitution of a Pt atom, suggesting the potential application of Pt-doped arsenene in gas sensing, especially for detecting NO2 gas due to the largest adsorption energy and charge transfer between NH3 and Pt-doped arsenene. Among all the molecules considered, CO, NO, NO2, O2 and NH3 molecules chemisorb on Pt-doped arsenene (these molecules physisorb on pristine arsenene) forming covalent Pt-C, Pt-N and Pt-O bonds, thus resulting in the elongation of C-O, N-O, O-O, N-H bonds in molecules. The magnetic moments of arsenene adsorbed with O2, NO, and NO2 decrease or diminish after Pt doping. Such variation on magnetism before and after Pt doping is ascribed to significant charge transfer and strong hybridization between gas molecules and the underlying Pt atoms, indicating the magnetic properties of arsenene can be tuned by molecular adsorption and Pt doping. These findings suggest Pt-doped arsenene has potential applications in spintronic devices, catalysts and gas sensors.

Abstract
Although two-dimensional (2D) materials have grown into an extended family that accommodates hundreds of members and have demonstrated promising advantages in many fields, their practical applications are still hindered by the lack of scalable high-yield production of monolayer products. Here, we show that scalable production of monolayer nanosheets can be achieved by a facile ball-milling exfoliation method with the assistance of viscous polyethyleneimine (PEI) liquid. As a demonstration, graphite is effectively exfoliated into graphene nanosheets, achieving a high monolayer percentage of 97.9% at a yield of 78.3%. The universality of this technique is also proven by successfully exfoliating other types of representative layered materials with different structures, such as carbon nitride, covalent organic framework, zeolitic imidazolate framework and hexagonal boron nitride. This scalable exfoliation technique for monolayer nanosheets could catalyze the synthesis and industrialization of 2D nanosheet materials.

Abstract
Phase change materials have a key role for wearable thermal management, but suffer from poor water vapor permeability, low enthalpy value and weak shape stability caused by liquid phase leakage and intrinsic rigidity of solid-liquid phase change materials. Herein, we report for the first time a versatile strategy for designed assembly of high-enthalpy flexible phase change nonwovens (GB-PCN) by wet-spinning hybrid graphene-boron nitride (GB) fiber and subsequent impregnating paraffins (e.g., eicosane, octadecane). As a result, our GB-PCN exhibited an unprecedented enthalpy value of 206.0 J g-1, excellent thermal reliability and anti-leakage capacity, superb thermal cycling ability of 97.6% after 1000 cycles, and ultrahigh water vapor permeability (close to the cotton), outperforming the reported PCM films and fibers to date. Notably, the wearable thermal management systems based on GB-PCN for both clothing and face mask were demonstrated, which can maintain the human body at a comfortable temperature range for a significantly long time. Therefore, our results demonstrate huge potential of GB-PCN for human-wearable passive thermal management in real scenarios.

Abstract
The increasing demand for high energy storage devices calls for concurrently enhanced dielectric constants and reduced dielectric losses of polymer dielectrics. In this work, we rationally design dielectric composites comprising aligned 2D nanofillers of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) in a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix through a novel press-and-fold technique. Both nanofillers play different yet complementary roles: while rGO is designed to enhance the dielectric constant through charge accumulation at the interfaces with polymer, BNNS suppress the dielectric loss by preventing the mobility of free electrons. The microlaminate containing eight layers each of rGO/PVDF and BNNS/PVDF films exhibits remarkable dielectric performance with a dielectric constant of 147 and an ultralow dielectric loss of 0.075, due to the synergistic effect arising from the alternatingly electrically conductive and insulating films. Consequently, a maximum energy density of 3.5 J/cm3-about 18 times the bilayer composite counterpart-is realized. The high thermal conductivities of both nanofillers and their alignment endow the microlaminate with an excellent in-plane thermal conductivity of 6.53 Wm-1K-1, potentially useful for multifunctional applications. This work offers a simple but effective approach to fabricating a composite for high dielectric energy storage using two different 2D nanofillers.

Abstract
2D ultrafine nanomaterials today represent an emerging class of materials with very promising properties for a wide variety of applications. Biomedical fields have experienced important new achievements with technological breakthroughs obtained from 2D materials with singular properties. Boron nitride nanosheets are a novel 2D layered material comprised of a hexagonal boron nitride network (BN) with interesting intrinsic properties, including resistance to oxidation, extreme mechanical hardness, good thermal conductivity, photoluminescence, and chemical inertness. Here, we investigated different methodologies for the exfoliation of BN nanosheets (BNNs), using ball milling and ultrasound processing, the latter using both an ultrasound bath and tip sonication. The best results are obtained using tip sonication, which leads to the formation of few-layered nanosheets with a narrow size distribution. Importantly, it was observed that with the addition of pluronic acid F127 to the medium, there was a significant improvement in the BN nanosheets (BNNs) production yield. Moreover, the resultant BNNs present improved stability in an aqueous solution. Cytotoxicity studies performed with HeLa cells showed the importance of taking into account the possible interferences of the nanomaterial with the selected assay. The prepared BNNs coated with pluronic presented improved cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 200 μg mL-1 with more than 90% viability after 24 h of incubation. Confocal microscopy also showed high cell internalization of the nanomaterials and their preferential biodistribution in the cell cytoplasm.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) are regarded as promising two-dimensional materials in thermally conductive yet electrically insulating applications. Attributed to the strong interlayer "lip-lip" interactions in bulk hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), high-efficiency exfoliation and scalable fabrication of BNNSs via the top-down strategies remain formidable challenges. Herein, an interesting observation is manifested that gallium-based liquid metal (LM) forming robust coordination interactions with h-BN helps reduce the lip-lip interlayer interactions and thus facilitates successful exfoliation under intense shearing force. For example, employing the ball-milling technique, the BNNS yield can increase to 41.21% with the assistance of LM at only 2 h milling time. Its exfoliation efficiency (yield/time) reaches as high as 26.72%/h, more than 2-fold that of other previously reported methods, including sonication and other ball-milling methods. Moreover, the exfoliated BNNSs are still found to be highly electrically insulating with a band gap of 4.65 eV, showing prospective potential in thermally conductive yet electrical insulating applications. As a proof of concept, a microwave-transparent heat spreader (cellulose nanofiber/BNNSs) is fabricated and verified for applications in high-frequency thermal-management fields.

Abstract
Polyimide/boron nitride nanosheet (PI/BNNS) composite films have potential applications in the field of electrical devices due to the superior thermal conductivity and outstanding insulating properties of the boron nitride nanosheet. In this study, the boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS-t) was prepared by the template method using sodium chloride as the template, and B2O3 and flowing ammonia as the boron and nitrogen sources, respectively. Then, the PI/BNNS-t composite films were investigated with different loading of BNNS-t as thermally conductive fillers. The results show that BNNS-t has a high aspect ratio and a uniform lateral dimension, with a large dimension and a thin thickness, and there are a few nanosheets with angular shapes in the as-obtained BNNS-t. The synergistic effect of the above characteristics for BNNS-t is beneficial to constructing the three-dimensional heat conduction network of the PI/BNNS-t composite films, which can significantly improve the out-of-plane thermal conduction properties. And then, the out-of-plane thermal conductivity of the PI/BNNS-t composite film achieves 0.67 W m-1 K-1 at 40% loading, which is nearly 3.5 times that of the PI film.

Abstract
Air pollution is on the priority list of global safety issues, with the concern of fatal environmental and public health deterioration. 2D materials are potential adsorbent materials for environmental decontamination, owing to their high surface area, manageable interlayer binding, large surface-to-volume ratio, specific binding capability, and chemical, thermal, and mechanistic stability. Specifically, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide have been attracting attention, taking advantage of their low cost synthesis, excessive oxygen containing surface functionalities, and intrinsic aqueous dispersibility, making them desirable for the development of cost-effective, high performance air filters. Many different material designs have been proposed to expand their filtration capability, including the functionalization and integration with other metals and metal oxides, which act not only as binding agents to the target pollutants but also as antimicrobial agents. This review highlights the advantages and drawbacks of 2D materials for air filtration and summarizes the interrelationships among various strategies and the resultant filtration performance in terms of structural engineering, morphology control, and material compositions. Finally, potential future directions are suggested toward the idealized designs of 2D material based air filters.

Amino Acid-Assisted Sand-Milling Exfoliation of Boron Nitride Nanosheets for High Thermally Conductive Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composites. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14214674.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) show excellent thermal, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. They are often used as fillers in polymers to prepare thermally conductive composites, which are used in the production of materials for thermal management, such as electronic packaging. Aside from the van der Waals force, there are some ionic bond forces between hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layers that result in high energy consumption and make BNNSs easily agglomerate. To overcome this issue, L-lysine (Lys) was first employed as a stripping assistant for preparing graft-functionalized BNNSs via mechanical sand-milling technology, and the obtained Lys@BNNSs can be added into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by solution mixing and hot-pressing methods to prepare thermally conductive composites. This green and scalable method of amino acid-assisted sand-milling can not only exfoliate the bulk h-BN successfully into few-layer BNNSs but also graft Lys onto the surface or edges of BNNSs through Lewis acid–base interaction. Furthermore, benefiting from Lys’s highly reactive groups and biocompatibility, the compatibility between functionalized BNNSs and the TPU matrix is significantly enhanced, and the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the composite are remarkably increased. When the load of Lys@BNNSs is 3 wt%, the thermal conductivity and tensile strength of the obtained composites are 90% and 16% higher than those of the pure TPU, respectively. With better thermal and mechanical properties, Lys@BNNS/TPU composites can be used as a kind of heat dissipation material and have potential applications in the field of thermal management materials.

Abstract
Modern electronics not only require the thermal management ability of polymer packaging materials but also need anti-voltage and mechanical properties. Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS), an ideal thermally conductive and high withstand voltage (800 kV/mm) filler, can meet application needs, but the complex and low-yield process limits their large-scale fabrication. Herein, in this work, we prepare sucrose-assisted ball-milled BN(SABM-BN)/polyetherimide (PEI) composite films by a casting-hot pressing method. SABM-BN, as a pre-ball-milled filler, contains BNNS and BN thick sheets. We mainly investigated the thermal conductivity (TC), breakdown strength, and mechanical properties of composites. After pre-ball milling, the in-plane TC of the composite film is reduced. It decreases from 2.69 to 2.31 W/mK for BN/PEI composite film at 30 wt% content; however, the through-plane TC of composites is improved, and the breakdown strength and tensile strength of the composite film reach the maximum of 54.6 kV/mm and 102.7 MPa at 5 wt% content, respectively. Moreover, the composite film is used as a flexible circuit substrate, and the working surface temperature is 20 ℃, which is lower than that of pure PEI film. This study provides an effective strategy for polymer composites for electronic packaging.
