The two-dimensional nano sheet materials obtained by the stripping of layered materials, due to their large surface area and special electronic state, are expected to be used in various fields such as catalysts and electronic devices. In previous studies in our laboratory, it has been proved that hydrogen boride (HB) sheets play a role as a solid acid catalyst and the sheets are chemically stable against water. Specifically, in the presence of HB sheets, ethanol was found to be converted to ethylene with high selectivity. Moreover, there was an indication that mixture of water in ethanol may change the reaction product, i.e., the selectivity of ethanol conversion may control by controlling water content. In this study, therefore, effects of water mixture for the ethanol conversion by hydrogen boride sheets will be examined.
