Among the 2D family, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is attracting increased attentions since it’s unique 2D form combined with wide band gap insulating intrinsic. Gold nanoparticles decorated h-BN composites have been shown of great activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) [1], hydrogen peroxide detection, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) [2]. These applications require the Au particles to be stable enough with minimum sintering. However, little is known of how and when the sintering of Au behaves on h-BN substrate.
