High yield BNNTs synthesis by promotion effect of milling-assisted precursor

Customizable local superhydrophobic micro channels by BNNTs growth

“…1a,b shows TEM and SEM images of a typical product after the heating of the milled powder in mixed nitrogen source atmosphere under 1100°C. The high density of cylindrical BNNTs synthesis using milling-assisted method was reported in our previous paper [10]. Here, milled B as precursor and Fe(NO 3 ) 3 as catalyst were used instead of raw B and Li 2 O to synthesis BNNTs.…”

“…Besides, the strength of coating layers, which are used under high temperature and certain flow impact pressure in DMFC, is quite challenging. BNNT films prepared directly on the stainless steel substrates with superhydrophobicity have been confirmed to be excellent coating layers with intensive strength [10,11]. In this paper, we introduce a customizable local superhydrophobic micro channels by BNNT growth to satisfy the special requests in DMFC.…”

Electrospinning of BCNNTs/PVA/PEDOT composite nanofibers films for research thermoelectric performance

“…The growth mechanism of BNNTs used catalytic assisted ball milling belongs to the gas-liquid-solid model. 28,29 The catalyst used in this paper is aluminum oxide and ferric nitrate. In addition, Fe, Co, Ni and other highly active transition metal element materials can also be used as catalysts for reactions.…”

Boron Nitride Nanotubes: Recent Advances in Their Synthesis, Functionalization, and Applications

“…On the other hand, the high temperature ball milling process was another synthesis approach for BNNTs as initiated by Chen et al in 1999 [31]. This process has been further developed and refined using boron ink [32,37,38,39]. In brief, boron powder was ball milled under N 2 /NH 3 atmosphere for a long duration (up to 150 h).…”
