Boron Nitride Nanotube Composites and Applications

2019
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), like carbon nanotubes (CNTs), possess an impressive collection of properties that motivate their use in composite materials, particularly in areas where CNTs are limited (e.g., high-temperature processing and applications) or unsuitable (e.g., electric insulation).

Purification of Boron Nitride Multiwalled Nanotubes

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2007
Purification of arc-discharge grown multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes (BN MWNTs) was possible using a simple solubilization and filtration method. Using the common method of arc-discharge with h-BN/Ni/B packed molybdenum tube and a water cooled copper cathode, results in a mixture of hexagonal boron nitride, metal catalyst and boron nitride nanotubes.

Purification of Single-Walled Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Boron Nitride Cages

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2007
Continuous laser vaporization of a BN target under N2 atmosphere is up to now the unique route to single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (BN-SWNTs). Although grams of product can be obtained by this technique, the raw material contains in addition to the BN-SWNTs, different by-products made of boron and nitrogen.

Mechanosynthesis of Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2006
Abstract Boron nitride nanotubes (BN-NTs) with pure hexagonal BN phase have been synthesized by heating ball-milled boron powders in flowing ammonia gas at a temperature of 1200°C. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and ...

Structure of boron nitride nanotubes

Crystallography Reports, 2015
The crystallographic structure of boron nitride nanotubes has been investigated. Various defects that may arise during nanotube synthesis are revealed by electron microscopy. Nanotubes with different numbers of walls and different diameters are modeled by molecular dynamics methods. Structural features of single-wall nanotubes are demonstrated.

Boron nitride nanotubes and nanowires

Chemical Physics Letters, 2002
Simple methods of preparing boron nitride nanotubes and nanowires have been investigated. The methods involve heating boric acid with activated carbon, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, catalytic iron particles or a mixture of activated carbon and iron particles, in the presence of NH 3 . While with activated carbon, boron nitride nanowires constitute the

Engineering Boron Vacancy Defects in Boron Nitride Nanotubes

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are emerging as promising platforms for quantum sensing applications. In particular, the negatively charged boron vacancy (VB-) centers have been engineered in bulk hBN and few-layer hBN flakes, and employed for sensing.

A reduction–nitridation route to boron nitride nanotubes

Applied Physics A, 2005
Multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes were synthesized through a simple reduction–nitridation route, in which boron trifluoride etherate ((C2H5)2OBF3) and sodium azide (NaN3) were used as reactants in the presence of Fe-Ni powder at 600 °C for 12 h. The obtained BN nanotubes have an average outer diameter of 60 nm, an average inner diameter of 30 nm, and
