Synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals with a controlled morphology is a major challenge due to various kinetic and thermodynamic factors at the edge. Supplying BN building blocks by heating precursor ammonia borane at a temperature of 90 °C produced triangular crystals, whereas, at hig...
