WHITE GRAPHENE
White graphene is actually boron nitride (h- BN ) it is composed of sheets of one atom thick on a hexagonal lattice
structure . It is composed of boron and nitrogen in equal proportions and it is isoelectronic to carbon.

Dr. Ian Chen and his team of the Deakin University in Australia and the University of Paris, have developed white
graphene nanosheets (h -BN), capable of absorbing 33 times its own weight in oils and organic solvents, floats on
water and repels it, is recyclable and reusable up to 5 times. The nanosheets are cleaned by heating in air for two
hours, the absorbed oil is burned leaving clean sheets.

White Graphene has unique and different properties from graphene:

White color unlike graphene, which is black

Insulation
High thermal conductivity
Photoluminescence
Chemically inert
High stability
High resistance to oxidation

Lab Researchers Pulickel Ajayan , Rice's Benjamin M and Mary Greenwood Anderson , Profesor of Mechanical
Engineering and Materials Science and of chemistry, have implemented White graphene islands or hexagonal boron
nitride (which is an insulating material ) in graphene sheets (which has excellent electronic properties ), so that
exercise a level of control over the electronic character of the sheet.

Li Song and colleagues , has discovered a way to deposit layers of h -BN on a copper substrate using a method of
chemical vapor deposition , which can then be transferred to other substrates. This application of the h -BN may be
effective in the development of the graphene-based electronics insulation and may replace silicon in the future.

Although it was initially investigated for electronic applications, its porous structure provides a contact surface of
1.425m2 per gram , it can absorb contaminants such as oils , organic solvents and dyes , so that one of its most
important applications is cleaning oil spills. Materials used until now as activated carbon , zeolites or natural fibers ,
due to their poor properties, they have low selectivity in separating contaminants and low effectiveness in absorbing
the pollution.

USA and Singapore scientists have published a study in which they developed white graphene nanosheets
supporting up to 1100 C temperature. These sheets can protect other materials from oxidation under extreme
temperature conditions.

This study opens a wide range of industrial applications, since the sheets can be applied for coating products that
must withstand such high temperatures. It is the first to oxidation protective material that can be used under these
conditions.

The white graphene nanosheets are made using the technique of chemical vapor deposition, which ensures that the
finished product maintains a high purity and a high-performance of solid materials, it is also used to deposit carbon
fiber or silicon.

A new era of electronics and even quantum devices could be ushered in with the
fabrication of a virtually perfect single layer of "white graphene," according to researchers
at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Heat dissipation, or at least the tunable control of heat, is a major headache in electronics.
Now researchers have proposed a complex 3D structure made from a 2D material, known
as white graphene, which may provide a solution to this problem.
