====Better surface adsorption====
Atomically thin boron nitride has been found to have better surface adsorption capabilities than bulk hexagonal boron nitride.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Cai|first1=Qiran|last2=Du|first2=Aijun|last3=Gao|first3=Guoping|last4=Mateti|first4=Srikanth|last5=Cowie|first5=Bruce C.

The synergic effect of the atomic thickness, high flexibility, stronger surface adsorption capability, electrical insulation, impermeability, high thermal and chemical stability of BN nanosheets can increase the [[Raman spectroscopy|Raman sensitivity]] by up to two orders, and in the meantime attain long-term stability and reusability not readily achievable by other materials.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Cai|first1=Qiran|last2=Mateti|first2=Srikanth|last3=Yang|first3=Wenrong|last4=Jones|first4=Rob|last5=Watanabe|first5=Kenji|last6=Taniguchi|first6=Takashi|last7=Huang|first7=Shaoming|last8=Chen|first8=Ying|last9=Li|first9=Lu Hua|date=2016-05-20|title=Inside Back Cover: Boron Nitride Nanosheets Improve Sensitivity and Reusability of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (Angew.
