Direct growth of hexagonal boron nitride on non-metallic substrates and its heterostructures with graphene

Summary: Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and its heterostructures with graphene are widely investigated van der Waals (vdW) quantum materials for electronics, photonics, sensing, and energy storage/transduction. However, their metal catalyst-based growth and transfer-based heterostructure assembly ap...
