Abstract
The ability of creating materials with improved properties upon transformation
processes applied to conventional materials is the keystone of materials science. Here,
hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a large bandgap insulator, is transformed into a conductive
two-dimensional (2D) material – bonitrol – that is stable at ambient conditions. The process,
which requires compression of at least two h-BN layers and hydroxyl ions, is characterized via
scanning probe microscopy experiments and ab initio calculations. This material and its creation
mechanism represent an additional strategy on the transformation of known 2D materials into
artificial advanced materials with exceptional properties
