Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) nanosheets are synthesized through a facile shear force liquid phase exfoliation method and their use as a binder‐free oxidation and fire‐resistant wood coating is demonstrated. Characterized by intrinsic low thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity, h‐BN nanosheet coatings show an excellent fire resistance and oxidation resistance up to 900 °C in air.
