Microwave-assisted rapid synthesis of graphene-analogue hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets and their application for the ultrafast and selective adsorption of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions

Abstract

Graphene-analogue hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets are successfully synthesized<italic>via</italic>a facile and fast microwave-assisted method in 10 min and used as a novel adsorbent for the ultrafast removal of cationic organic dyes in aqueous solution.
