  1. Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is one of the few materials showing great promise for light emission in the far ultraviolet (UV)-C wavelength, which is more effective and safer in containing the transmission of microbial diseases than traditional UV light. In this report, we observed that h-BN, despite having an indirect energy bandgap, exhibits a remarkably high room-temperature quantum efficiency (∼60%), which is orders of magnitude higher than that of other indirect bandgap material, and is enabled by strong excitonic effects and efficient exciton-phonon interactions. This study offers a new approach for the design and development of far UV-C optoelectronic devices as well as quantum photonic devices employing 2D semiconductor active regions.
