Stacked 2D Materials Stacked two‐dimensional materials are achieved and analyzed in a surface science approach: Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) is formed on Pt(111) by the thermal decomposition of molecular precursor ammonia borane. A temporary Pt film deposited on h‐BN serves as the platform for subsequent graphene growth using ethylene. The intercalation of the film through h‐BN results in the desired van der Waals stacking. More details can be found in article 2102747 by Jörg Kröger and co‐workers.
