Claim 17:
18. A method for making metal nanostructure decorated reductive boron nitride (RBN) comprising in liquid suspension:
a) mixing RBN, wherein the RBN comprises extended reactive vacancies formed by mechanical grinding of hexagonal boron nitride at a cryogenic temperature, with a metal precursor in a polar or non-polar solvent or solvents at room temperature to create a RBN with metal atoms and/or metal compounds anchored in the extended reactive vacancies;
b) washing away excess metal compounds with polar or non-polar solvent or solvents by centrifugation or filtration; and
c) re-dispersing materials obtained from b) in polar or non-polar solvent or solvents to obtain liquid.
