Fig. 1: Scaling behavior of graphene and hBN caused by both surface-induced heterogeneous nucleation and attachment of mineral crystals formed in the bulk solution through homogeneous nucleation.

From: Ultrahigh resistance of hexagonal boron nitride to mineral scale formation

Fig. 1

A Experimental setup and B video snapshots of the pristine Cu (pristine), graphene (Gra) coated Cu (Gra@Cu), and hBN coated Cu (hBN@Cu) exposed to a supersaturated CaSO4 solution. The scale bars are 3 mm in length; C Amount of CaSO4 precipitate formed on the three samples after 220 min of exposure. Error bars represent the standard deviation of precipitation amount.
