Strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) is recognized as a pivotal strategy in hetereogeneous catalysis to prevent the sintering of metal nanoparticles (NPs), but issues including restriction of supports to reducible metal oxides, nonporous architecture, sintering by thermal treatment at >800 °C, and unstable nature limit their practical application. Herein, the construction of non-oxide-derived SMSI nanocatalysts based on highly crystalline and nanoporous hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) 2D materials was demonstrated via in situ encapsulation and reduction using NaBH₄, NaNH₂, and noble metal salts as precursors. The as-prepared nanocatalysts exhibited robust thermal stability and sintering resistance to withstand thermal treatment at up to 950 °C, rendering them with high catalytic efficiency and durability in CO oxidation even in the presence of H₂O and hydrocarbon simulated to realistic exhaust systems. More importantly, our generic strategy offers a novel and efficient avenue to design ultrastable hetereogeneous catalysts with diverse metal and support compositions and architectures.
