Fig. 2From: 2D nanochannels and huge specific surface area offer unique ways for water remediation and adsorption: assessing the strengths of hexagonal boron nitride in separation technologyExfoliated few-layer BN. a TEM image of few-layer BN, with the selected-area electron diffraction pattern (inset) indicating a layered BN structure. Scale bar, 50Â nm. b, c HRTEM images of the edge folding of two few-layer BN sheets with three and six BN layers, respectively. Scale bars, 2Â nm (b) and 5Â nm (c). d HRTEM and the fast Fourier transform images of a few-layer BN sheet. Scale bar, 2Â nm. e, f Atomic force microscopy image and corresponding line-scan profile of few-layer BN. g XRD patterns of few-layer BN and pristine h-BN. (Reprinted from ref.
