Enhanced selective oxidation of h-BN nanosheet through a substrate-mediated localized charge effect
Literature Information

Manipulation of the chemical reactivity of two-dimensional materials is a challenge for advancing various nanotechnologies, ranging from electronics to catalysis. In this study, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we demonstrated that the chemical reactivity of h-BN sheets towards O2 can be significantly enhanced via a metal substrate-mediated charge effect. The chemisorption of O2 molecule on the h-BN sheet deposited on Ni, Co, or Cu substrate were almost spontaneous with negligible energy barrier, distinctly different from that on the freestanding h-BN sheet, which has ultra-high chemical stability. In particular, the enhanced oxidation of h-BN sheet can be confined in the nanoscale region due to the localized electronic states in the h-BN sheet. These findings imply a pathway to selectively oxidize h-BN sheet by patterning the metal substrate.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
