Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is regarded as a graphene analogue and exhibits important characteristics and vast application potentials. However, discovering a facile method for the preparation of nanoporous crystalline h-BN nanosheets (h-BNNS) is still a challenge. Herein, a novel and simple route for the conversion of amorphous h-BN precursors into highly crystalline h-BNNS was achieved through a successive dissolution-precipitation/crystallization process in the presence of magnesium. The h-BNNS has high crystallinity, high porosity with a surface area of 347 m(2) g(-1), high purity, and enhanced thermal stability. Improved catalytic performance of crystalline h-BNNS was evidenced by its much higher catalytic efficiency in the dehydrogenation of dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole, compared with its amorphous h-BN precursor, as well as other precious-metal-loaded heterogeneous catalysts.
