Synthesis and characterization of Mg2B2O5

Preparation, crystal structure and photoluminescence of Mn2+-doped magnesium pyroborates solid solutions, (Mg1–xMnx)2B2O5

“…Qasrawi et al measured the optical properties of Mg 2 B 2 O 5 and estimated the band gap width to be 4.72 eV (263 nm) [10]. Cheng et al [11] and Stewart [12] theoretically calculated the band gap width of Mg 2 B 2 O 5 to be about 5.3 eV (230 nm) for both triclinic and monoclinic phases.…”

Synthesis and Raman properties of magnesium borate micro/nanorods

“…As an excellent antiwear and anticorrosion material, Mg 2 B 2 O 5 has been widely used to reduce friction coefficient [1,2]. Mg 2 B 2 O 5 also has other potential applications, such as catalysts for the conversion of the hydrocarbons [3,4], luminescent materials for cathode ray tube screens [5] and thermo-luminescence application [6][7][8]. Now, onedimensional (1D) micro-/nanomaterials have become the research focus for their unique structures, novel properties and potential applications [9].…”

Electrochemical synthesis of magnesium borate whisker

“…As a new type of functional material, magnesium borate (Mg 2 B 2 O 5 ) whisker is widely used in metal and alloy compounds [1,2], polymers, composites and catalysts [3][4][5]. Several techniques have been developed to synthesise Mg 2 B 2 O 5 , including the mechano-chemical method [6], the high temperature molten salt method [7], the microwave solid phase method [8], the sol-gel method [9], the hydrothermal precursor method [10], the chemical vapour deposition method [11,12] and hydrothermal synthesis [13].…”
