Abstract:Transition meal and rare earth borides have been subjected to extensive investigations because of their unique structures, superior properties and diverse applications. Conventional methods for their syntheses suffer from various drawbacks. So several alternative approaches have been explored. Among them, the so-called ‘molten salt synthesis (MSS)’ technique has proved promising. Over the past 10–15 years, it has been used to prepare a range of transition metal and rare earth borides. In this paper, the main r… Show more
