Large scale boron carbon nitride nanosheets with enhanced lithium storage capabilities

Few-layered boron carbon nitride nanosheets are synthesized by a simple and environmentally friendly process. The BCN nanosheets have 2-6 atomic layers with high surface area and show enhanced storage performance in lithium batteries, as well as a stable capacity of similar to 100 mA h g(-1) at 2 A g(-1) for 5000 cycles.
