Abstract

This study introduces a novel approach of precisely depositing In₂O₃ nanoislands on the edges of BN sheets using selective atomic layer deposition. The modified catalysts demonstrated a significant improvement and characterization results revealed that the presence of In₂O₃ nanoislands, when free of BO_x overlayers, is crucial in mitigating side reactions.
