Abstract
Improved methods of synthesizing oxygen-functionalized boron nitride (O—BN) are disclosed. In the disclosed methods, boron nitride (BN) in any form is contacted with a gaseous composition or compositions that include oxygen and an organic compound, such as, but not limited to, a hydrocarbon.
Claims21
A method of making oxygen-functionalized boron nitride (O—BN), comprising contacting boron nitride (BN) simultaneously with one or more compositions that together comprise both oxygen and one or more organic compounds,
- whereby the boron nitride becomes oxygen-functionalized boron nitride (O—BN).
