Boron nitride nanocarpets: controllable synthesis and their adsorption performance to organic pollutants

“…27 Similar to carbon nanostructures, various low-dimensional BN nanostructures, including nanorods, nanowires and nanotubes, have been extensively investigated. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Recently, direct synthesis and chemical/physical exfoliation methods have been developed to fabricate monolayer and ultrathin BN nanosheets, [36][37][38][39] and these ultrathin BN films have been used as a substrate for growing super smooth graphene with a high carrier mobility. 40 With regards to 3D nanostructures, centrosymmetric 3D BN nanostructures have been widely reported 41 while no reports on noncentrosymmetric 3D BN nanostructures can be found up to now.…”

Rayleigh instability induced SiC/SiO2 necklace like nanostructures

“…The SiO 2 nanodroplets around the core could act as excellent blockades to prevent SiC NWs withdrawing from the surrounding matrix. 2,28,29 The periodic structure in SiC/SiO 2 necklace-like NSs could be helpful as benchmarks to improve the NSs handling accuracy during nanodevice manufacturing. 14 These nanomaterials could be also useful for different applications such as sensing, 30 drug releasing, 31 and optical component fabrication.…”

An effective route for the synthesis of boron nitride micro-nano structures and the growth mechanism

“…8,[27][28][29][30] However, BN nanosheet-assembled microwires, especially in large quantities and with high purity, have not been reported so far. Herein, we reported a simple but efficient route for the mass-production of BN micro-nano structures called nanosheet-assembled microwires, by simply annealing amorphous B powder with the catalyst FeCl 3 in NH 3 .…”
