8 SI-8 Formation process of rhombohedral BN triangular nanoplates During the formation process of r-bn triangular nanoplates, the involved thermodynamic chemical reactions may possibly proceed as follows: NH NaNH 4 BF BF NH HF( g) Na 4 HF( g) NaNH NH HF( g) BF, Ni BN ( s) HF( g) N ( s) NaF ( s) NH Na N ( s) NH ( s) NaF ( s) NH NH 4BF4 4NaNH 4NaF ( s) BN ( s) 4NH At a temperature around 600, NH 4 BF 4 and NaNH may spontaneously decompose to produce BF and NH vapors (reaction 1 and ), respectively. 1, The reaction between BF (g) and NH (g) (reaction ) over the surface of metallic Ni powder generate regular sp -hybridzed BN triangular monolayers. BN crystal was also generated via means of a traditional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from a BF /NH mixture system., 4 A scheme showing this assistant role is depicted in SI-6. Further reactions will drive the crystal growth of rhombohedral BN over these basal BN planes. The HF (g) produced by the reaction 1 and can instantly be consumed by Na N and NaNH to form NaF and NH, as described by the reaction 4 and 5, respectively. A total reaction between NH 4 BF 4 and NaNH can be described as the reaction 6. SI-References: [1] D. Göbbels; G. Z. Meyer, Anorg. Allg. Chem. 00, 68, [] a) H. Y. Leng, T. Ichikawa, S. Hino, N.
