TL;DR: Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy analyses reveal that monolayer BN nanosheets can sustain up to 850 °C, and the starting temperature of oxygen doping/oxidation of BN Nanosheet only slightly increases with the increase of nanosheet layer and depends on heating conditions.
Abstract: Investigation on oxidation resistance of two-dimensional (2D) materials is critical for many of their applications, because 2D materials could have higher oxidation kinetics than their bulk counterparts due to predominant surface atoms and structural distortions. In this study, the oxidation behavior of high-quality boron nitride (BN) nanosheets of 1-4 layer thick has been examined by heating in air. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy analyses reveal that monolayer BN nanosheets can sustain up to 850 °C and the starting temperature of oxygen doping/oxidation of BN nanosheets only slightly increases with the increase of nanosheet layer and depends on heating conditions. Elongated etch lines are found on the oxidized monolayer BN nanosheets, suggesting that the BN nanosheets are first cut along the chemisorbed oxygen chains and then the oxidative etching grows perpendicularly to these cut lines. The stronger oxidation resistance of BN nanosheets suggests that they are more preferable for high-temperature applications than graphene.

TL;DR: The results revealed that the individual vegetables containing the highest mean As concentrations are snake gourd, ghotkol, taro, eddoe and elephant foot, while other leafy and root vegetables, contained higher concentrations of Zn and Cu, and the data show the potential for some vegetables to accumulate heavy metals with concentrations of Pb greater than Cd.

Abstract: Atomically thin boron nitride (BN) nanosheets are important two-dimensional nanomaterials with many unique properties distinct from those of graphene, but investigation into their mechanical properties remains incomplete. Here we report that high-quality single-crystalline mono- and few-layer BN nanosheets are one of the strongest electrically insulating materials. More intriguingly, few-layer BN shows mechanical behaviours quite different from those of few-layer graphene under indentation. In striking contrast to graphene, whose strength decreases by more than 30% when the number of layers increases from 1 to 8, the mechanical strength of BN nanosheets is not sensitive to increasing thickness. We attribute this difference to the distinct interlayer interactions and hence sliding tendencies in these two materials under indentation. The significantly better interlayer integrity of BN nanosheets makes them a more attractive candidate than graphene for several applications, for example, as mechanical reinforcements.
