A novel, simple and rapid route to the synthesis of boron cabonitride nanosheets: combustive gaseous unfolding

A novel, simple and rapid route to the synthesis of boron cabonitride nanosheets: combustive gaseous unfolding

Abstract The ternary compound boron carbonitride (BCN) was synthesized in the form of few-layer nanosheets through a mechanically induced self-sustaining reaction (MSR). Magnesium was used to reduce boron trioxide in the presence of melamine in a combustive manner. The process to form the nanostruct...
