From the calculations, the single meThe calculated barriers are much lower than those found on metal surfaces,suggesting that the catalytic CO oxidation by the Co-BNNS might be viable at low temperatures. Given the high surface area and high thermal stability, our results reported here
suggest that M-BNNSs might be a good candidate for low-cost, highly active, and stable catalysts for oxidation reactions.tal atom embedded h-BNNSs are shown to have comparable stabilities to defect-free h-BNNSs.
