Synthesis of highly crystalline sp2-bonded boron nitride aerogels.
نویسندگان
چکیده
sp(2)-Bonded boron nitride aerogels are synthesized from graphene aerogels via carbothermal reduction of boron oxide and simultaneous nitridation. The color and chemical composition of the original gel change dramatically, while structural features down to the nanometer scale are maintained, suggesting a direct conversion of the carbon lattice to boron nitride. Scanning and transmission electron microscopies reveal a foliated architecture of wrinkled sheets, a unique morphology among low-density, porous BN materials. The converted gels display a high degree of chemical purity (>95%) and crystalline order and exhibit unique cross-linking structures.

Nanoscale structure and superhydrophobicity of sp(2)-bonded boron nitride aerogels.
Aerogels have much potential in both research and industrial applications due to their high surface area, low density, and fine pore size distribution. Here we report a thorough structural study of three-dimensional aerogels composed of highly crystalline sp(2)-bonded boron nitride (BN) layers synthesized by a carbothermic reduction process. The structure, crystallinity and bonding of the as-pr...

Boron nitride (BN) aerogels are porous materials with a continuous three-dimensional network structure. They are attracting increasing attention for a wide range of applications. Here, we report the template-assisted synthesis of BN aerogels by catalyst-free, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition on graphene-carbon nanotube composite aerogels using borazine as the B and N sources with a relati...
متن کاملBoron nitride colloidal solutions, ultralight aerogels and freestanding membranes through one-step exfoliation and functionalization.
Manufacturing of aerogels and membranes from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is much more difficult than from graphene or graphene oxides because of the poor dispersibility of h-BN in water, which limits its exfoliation and preparation of colloidal solutions. Here, a simple, one-step mechano-chemical process to exfoliate and functionalize h-BN into highly water-dispersible, few-layer h-BN contai...

We demonstrate direct epitaxial growth of high-quality hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers on graphite using high-temperature plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Atomic force microscopy reveals mono- and few-layer island growth, while conducting atomic force microscopy shows that the grown hBN has a resistance which increases exponentially with the number of layers, and has electrical prop...
