Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) has lately received great attention in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reaction of propane to propylene for its extraordinary olefin selectivity in contrast to metal oxides. However, high crystallinity of commercial h‐BN and elusive cognition of active sites hinder...
