Large‐sized single‐crystal h‐BN domains with a lateral size up to 100 μm are synthesized on Ni foils by ion‐beam sputtering deposition. The nucleation density of h‐BN is dramatically decreased by reducing the concentrations of both active sites and species on the Ni surface through a brief in situ pretreatment of the substrate and optimization of the growth parameters, enabling the growth of large‐sized domains.
