In this paper, we report that hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) is an optimal material for anti-sintering γ-Al_(2)O_(3)-supported Pt nanoparticles(NPs) originating from the high thermal conductivity of h-BN. The high thermal conductivity of h-BN ensures maximal heat dissipation from Pt NPs to γ-Al_(2)O_(3),thereby causing both Ostwald ripening and particle coalescence of Pt NPs to be decelerated at elevated temperatures.Inhibition of Pt NP sintering is also shown in the reducible TiO^(2-)supported Pt NPs with the help of h-BN. The proposed anti-sintering strategy using thermal management is universal, providing new insight into the design of anti-sintering materials and structures for a wide range of applications in heterogeneous catalysis.展开更多
