Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), as a novel two-dimensional material, exhibits high thermal conductivity, excellent thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, oxidation resistance, and chemical stability. Its large specific surface area provides abundant active sites and attachment points, offering unique advantages in thermal catalytic reactions. This paper summarizes the main preparation methods of h-BN, including mechanical exfoliation, liquid-phase exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition, and combined physical and chemical methods, analyzing the superiority and characteristics of each preparation method. It investigates the fundamental properties of h-BN and its applications in oxidative dehydrogenation, oxidative desulfurization, and catalytic hydrogenation, explores the mechanisms of h-BN in thermal catalytic reactions, and prospects the future research opportunities and challenges of h-BN.
