Major Contributions

1. Demonstrated that single-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanopores can achieve exceptionally high ionic gradient power generation, reaching up to ~4.5 nW under acid-base neutralization conditions, which is over one order of magnitude higher than existing ionic gradient power generators.

2. Proved that hBN nanopores maintain excellent cation selectivity and fast proton transport even in highly acidic environments, due to the synergistic effects of atomic thickness (~0.8 nm) and large surface charge density (up to -0.95 C m⁻²).

3. Established that hBN nanopores exhibit remarkable chemical stability in extreme pH conditions (both highly acidic and basic environments), making them ideal for various ionic gradient power generation applications including salinity gradient power, proton gradient power, and acid-base neutralization power generation.


主要貢獻

1.證實單層六方氮化硼奈米孔洞可實現極高的離子梯度發電效能，在酸鹼中和條件下可達到約4.5奈瓦特的輸出功率，比現有的離子梯度發電器高出10倍以上。

2. 驗證六方氮化硼奈米孔洞即使在高酸性環境下仍能保持優異的陽離子選擇性和快速質子傳輸，這歸功於其原子級薄度（約0.8奈米）和高表面電荷密度（最高達-0.95庫倫/平方米）的協同效應。

3. 確立六方氮化硼奈米孔洞在極端pH值條件下（包括高酸性和高鹼性環境）具有卓越的化學穩定性，使其成為鹽度梯度發電、質子梯度發電和酸鹼中和發電等各種離子梯度發電應用的理想材料。
