“…Moreover, the photoluminescence quantum yield of BNNTs was thought to surpass that of CNTs. In fact, intense and stable UV emission has recently been observed from multiwalled BNNTs first by Wu et al [187] followed by Zhi et al [190] …”

The current status of research on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—carbon nanotube structural analogues—is discussed. Latest achievements in BNNT synthesis, morphology, and atomic structure analysis as well as physical, chemical, and functional property evaluations are reviewed. Similarities and differences between structural parameters and properties of BNNTs in comparison with conventional carbon nanotubes are particularly highlighted. Recent breakthroughs in BNNT filling, doping and functionalization, morphology, and electronic structure engineering are examined. Finally, prospective BNNT applications for fabricating field‐effect transistors, gas accumulators, and reinforcing polymer films are presented.

“…deep ultraviolet light emission property, excellent thermal conductivity, superb thermal stability and high resistance to oxidation. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Theoretical studies indicate that the mechanical stiffness of BNNTs can even rival that of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). 10,11 Owing to their unique characteristics, BNNTs are highly promising for use in composites and nanoscale optoelectronic devices working in harsh environments and at extreme temperatures.…”

Bending manipulation and direct force measurements of ultrathin boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) were performed inside a transmission electron microscope. Our results demonstrate an obvious transition in mechanics of BNNTs when the external diameters of nanotubes are in the range of 10 nm or less. During in situ transmission electron microscopy bending tests, characteristic "hollow" ripple-like structures formed in the bent ultrathin BNNTs with diameters of sub-10 nm. This peculiar buckling/bending mode makes the ultrathin BNNTs hold very high post-buckling loads which significantly exceed their initial buckling forces. Exceptional compressive/bending strength as high as ∼1210 MPa was observed. Moreover, the analysis of reversible bending force curves of such ultrathin nanotubes indicates that they may store/adsorb strain energy at a density of ~400 × 10(6) J m(-3). Such nanotubes are thus very promising for strengthening and toughening of structural ceramics and may find potential applications as effective energy-absorbing materials like armor.

“…3͑b͒ were collected from the same region but a different analysis area to Fig. 2,3 However, values of hBN band gap in literature reports have a wide range 24,25 and often extend outside the detection range of the CL system used in this work. All the CL spectra have two broadbands: an ultraviolet band and a red band centered at about ϳ3.8 and ϳ1.8 eV, respectively.…”
