Conversion of vertically-aligned boron nitride nanowalls to photoluminescent CN compound nanorods: Efficient composition and morphology control via plasma technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional BN/CN nanomaterials of various composition and morphology were synthesized in N2eH2 plasma by plasma-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition, with B4C used as precursor. The results of field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscopy, micro-Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy evidence that the hexagonal boron nitride nanowalls with carbon and oxide phases were synthesized under about 1:1 ratio of H2 to N2, while the CN nanorods with boron and oxide phases are formed under other ratios of H2 to N2, and the nanowires made of oxide phases are grown without the plasma. Efficient control over the nanostructure composition and morphology was demonstrated, thus proposing a cheap and convenient fabrication technique for the advanced composite boron nitride/graphene materials. The photoluminescence properties of the synthesized BN and CN nanomaterials were also studied using the 325 nm line of HeeCd laser as the excitation source. The fabricated nanomaterials can generate the ultraviolet, blue and green multi-PL bands, which are associated to the defects formed in these nanomaterials and the carbon clusters, respectively. These outcomes can make a great contribution to the design of functional BNand CN-nanomaterials of various morphologies and compositions for the applications in various electronic and carbon-based optoelectronic nanodevices. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Enhanced optoelectronic performances of vertically aligned hexagonal boron nitride nanowalls-nanocrystalline diamond heterostructures
Field electron emission (FEE) properties of vertically aligned hexagonal boron nitride nanowalls (hBNNWs) grown on Si have been markedly enhanced through the use of nitrogen doped nanocrystalline diamond (nNCD) films as an interlayer. The FEE properties of hBNNWs-nNCD heterostructures show a low turn-on field of 15.2 V/μm, a high FEE current density of 1.48 mA/cm(2) and life-time up to a period...

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 electro...
