The production of high-quality hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is essential for the ultimate performance of two dimensional (2D) materials-based devices, since it is the key 2D encapsulation material. We are working on the optimisation of the procedures to grow h-BN on surface of transition metals. Our recent achievements include the enhanced quality of the h-BN on Rh(111) via 2D distillation [ACS Nano 15, 1351-1357 (2021)], and a decisive guideline for fabricating high-quality h-BN on Pt(111) [Small 18, 2205184 (2022)]. We have found that it is crucial to exclude carbon from the h-BN related process, otherwise carbon prevails over boron and nitrogen due to its larger binding energy, thereupon forming graphene on metals after high-temperature annealing. We introduce the pyrolysis temperature Tp as an important quality indicator for h-BN on transition metals.

In order to understand better the underlying physical trends, we have performed systematic density functional theory calculations on 12 different hexagonally oriented transition metals [Nanoscale Advances, in Press; DOI: 10.1039/D3NA00472D]. We will discuss the experimental findings in light of the computed results.
