Enhanced triethylamine sensing performance of superfine NiO nanoparticles decoration by two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride

The novel two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) decorated nickel oxide (NiO) heterojunction was successfully synthesized by a facile solvothermal precipitation method combining with heat treatment. SEM and TEM analysis were used to corroborate the average size (~8 nm) and overall distribution of superfine NiO nanoparticles on h-BN. XRD, FT-IR and XPS characterization confirmed the configuration of highly crystallinity and p-n...
