An environment-friendly liquid phase exfoliation method assisted with alkyl ethoxylate wetting agent has been developed to prepare highly concentrated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) colloidal suspensions with loadings of up to ~ 36.3 mg/mL. The exfoliation yield reaches ~78.3%. BNNS as thi...
