As we all know, hexagonal boron nitride
(h-BN) is a material that is very similar to graphite. It is a crystal composed
of 56.4% nitrogen nuclei and 43.6% boron atoms. Due to its whiteness, it is
also called "white graphite".
h-BN has many excellent properties, among
which the most notable and commendable is that it is "slip". Its structure
is very similar to graphite. The boron and nitrogen atoms are staggered to form
an infinite boundary network with a hexagon as a unit, that is, a single layer
of h-BN; Such networks are stacked infinitely along the c-axis in the manner of
ABAB... to form three-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride. Therefore, it is easy
to “slip” between the layers.
Nextgen Advanced Materials is committed to
provide high purity BN across the world. If you need more information, please
