Boron nitride was first produced in the 18th century and, by virtue of its extraordinary mechanical strength, has found extensive application in industrial processes since the 1940s. However, the more recent discovery that boron nitride allotropes are as structurally diverse as those of carbon (e.g. fullerenes, graphene, carbon nanotubes) has placed this material, and particularly its low-dimensional allotropes, back at the forefront of modern material science.

This book provides a comprehensive history of this rapid rise in the status of boron nitride and boron nitride nanomaterials, spanning the earliest examples of three-dimensional boron nitride allotropes, through to contemporary structures such as monolayer hexagonal boron nitride, boron nitride nanomeshes, boron nitride nanotubes and the incorporation of boron nitride into cutting-edge van der Waals heterostructures. It specifically focuses on the properties, applications and synthesis techniques for each of these allotropes and examines how the evolution in boron nitride production methods is linked to that in our understanding of how low-dimensional nanomaterials self-assemble, or ‘grow’, during synthesis. The book demonstrates the key synergy between growth mechanisms and the development of new, advanced nanostructured materials.

Ben McLean is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia. He received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Newcastle, Australia, in 2020. Following his PhD, Dr. McLean worked as a senior researcher under Prof. Feng Ding at the Institute for Basic Science, South Korea, and worked in collaboration with Prof. Esko Kauppinen at Aalto University, Finland. His research has resulted in 15 academic publications, focusing on the growth mechanisms of carbon and boron nitride nanotubes. Alister J. Page is a professor of physical and computational chemistry at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He completed his BMath/BSc degrees in 2005 before pursuing PhD research in 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Ellak I. von Nagy-Felsobuki in the field of fundamental quantum chemistry and spectroscopy. He subsequently held a Fukui Fellowship at Kyoto University, working under the postdoctoral supervision of Prof. Keiji Morokuma, before returning to Newcastle in 2013. Prof. Page’s research spans multiple fields within computational, physical and materials chemistry, including nanomaterial self-assembly and growth, condensed phases, specific ion effects, complex liquids, heterogeneous catalysts, and computational method development.
