Abstract:
The prominence of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) nanomaterials in
the energy industry has recently grown rapidly due to their broad applications in newly developed
energy systems. This was necessitated as a response to the demand for mechanically and chemically
stable platforms with superior thermal conductivity for incorporation in next-generation energy
devices. Conventionally, the electrical insulation and surface inertness of 2D h-BN limited their large
integration in the energy industry. However, progress on surface modification, doping, tailoring
the edge chemistry, and hybridization with other nanomaterials paved the way to go beyond those
conventional characteristics. The current application range, from various energy conversion methods
(e.g., thermoelectrics) to energy storage (e.g., batteries), demonstrates the versatility of 2D h-BN
nanomaterials for the future energy industry. In this review, the most recent research breakthroughs
on 2D h-BN nanomaterials used in energy-based applications are discussed, and future opportunities
and challenges are assessed
