We investigate the role of gas-phase phenomena in the heterogeneous oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over hexagonal boron nitride. We apply a recently developed gas-phase combustion model for low-temperature combustion of propane and couple it with several surface microkinetic mechanisms to probe the selectivity limits using the open-source flame solver Cantera. We show that while the conversion of propane is surface-driven, the selectivities are significantly influenced by the gas-phase, especially when dilute catalyst beds are used.<br>

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been generally interpreted as having an AA stacking sequence. Evidence is presented in this article indicating that typical commercial h-BN platelets (∼10–500 nm in thickness) exhibit stacks of parallel nanosheets (∼10 nm in thickness) predominantly in the AB sequence. The AB-stacked nanosheet occurs as a metastable phase of h-BN resulting from the preferred texture and lateral growth of armchair (110) planes. It appears as an independent nanosheet or unit for h-BN platelets. The analysis is supported by simulation of thin AB films (2–20 layers), which explains the unique X-ray diffraction pattern of h-BN. With this analysis and the role of pressure in commercial high-pressure high-temperature sintering (driving nucleation and parallelizing the in-plane crystalline growth of the nuclei), a growth mechanism is proposed for 2D h-BN (on a substrate) as `substrate-induced 2D growth', where the substrate plays the role of pressure.

Lubricating oil plays an important role in minimizing the friction and wear of many mechanical systems. The additives present in the conventional lubricant are inadequate to reduce the friction and wear of today’s mechanical systems. However, the use of these additives has a significant effect on the environment due to their fast chemical degradation. In recent years, nanoparticle-based lubricant has attracted great attention due to their friction reduction behavior. Therefore, it is of great importance to examine the role of nanoparticle addition in the conventional lubricant and its influence on the tribological characteristics of the mechanical systems. Hence, this research work focused on the formulation of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticle-based nanofluids and its effect on the tribological characteristics of cylinder liner and piston rings of a realistic diesel engine. The different concentrations of hBN nanoparticle-based nanofluids were formulated and characterized using the ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and the thermal gravimetric analysis. The results of the experimental analysis showed that hBN nanoparticles as an additive in the lubricating oil exhibited better anti-wear and friction reduction behavior than the conventional base oil 20W40.
