Cu- and Pd-catalyzed Ullmann reaction on a hexagonal boron nitride layer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Ullmann reaction is being widely adopted as a strategy for on-surface organic synthesis. Herein, we investigated the Ullmann reaction on a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layer grown on an Ni(111) substrate using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We explored the catalytic activity of Cu and Pd atoms dosed with the molecular precursors. We found that the dispersed atoms of both metals efficiently catalyze the reaction, but lead to different reaction paths.

Corrosion resistance of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride on copper
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered material with high thermal and chemical stability ideal for ultrathin corrosion resistant coatings. Here, we report the corrosion resistance of Cu with hBN grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that hBN layers inhibit Cu corrosion and oxygen reduction. We find that CVD grown hBN reduces the Cu corrosion rate b...
متن کاملA systematic study of metal-supported boron nitride materials for the oxygen reduction reaction.
Surfaces that efficiently catalyse the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are highly desirable for applications in energy utilization. Here, we computationally investigate the ORR on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) supported on Ni, Cu, and Co. We find a significant influence of the metal on the reaction energetics. In particular, h-BN/Cu is predicted to catalyse the ORR with a low overpotential, wh...
متن کاملStructural and electronic properties of a large-scale Moiré pattern of hexagonal boron nitride on Cu(111) studied with density functional theory.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) adsorbed on metal surfaces shows great promise for applications in nanoscience. Depending on the nature of the substrate, effects such as an extended corrugation of the monolayer can be observed and utilized, e.g. for the patterning of adsorbed molecules. Here we present an in-depth computational study of the structural and electronic properties of a 6 nm Moiré pa...
متن کاملLarge-roll growth of 25-inch hexagonal BN monolayer film for self-release buffer layer of free-standing GaN wafer
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is known as promising 2D material with a wide band-gap (~6 eV). However, the growth size of h-BN film is strongly limited by the size of reaction chamber. Here, we demonstrate the large-roll synthesis of monolayer and controllable sub-monolayer h-BN film on wound Cu foil by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method. By winding the Cu foil substrate int...

Graphene and hexagonal boron nitride are typical conductor and insulator, respectively, while their hybrids hexagonal boron carbonitride are promising as a semiconductor. Here we demonstrate a direct chemical conversion reaction, which systematically converts the hexagonal carbon lattice of graphene to boron nitride, making it possible to produce uniform boron nitride and boron carbonitride str...
