Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their hybrid structures have garnered immense attention over the past two decades. The distinct properties exhibited by these materials offer potential across various domains, from electronics to energy applications. As our understanding of these materials deepens, and synthesis methods improve, the potential applications appear limitless. From reshaping electronics to revolutionizing energy storage, 2D materials, and their hybrids are undeniably at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancements. The 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), have garnered immense attention over the past decade due to their unique properties, which differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. This chapter overviews the properties, applications, and motivation towards using boron nitride (BN) and its hybrid-based materials. Detailed properties of BN and its nanocomposites are elaborated. Different synthesis methods are also included. It also includes the systematic literature review of BN and its composites with various materials for gas sensing, photodetection, and other applications perspective.
