Crystallization behavior and characterization of turbostratic boron nitride

Facile synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride nanoplates via molten-salt-mediated magnesiothermic reduction

“…In particular, at 800-1000°C, the broad peak in the 2θ range 23-29° and another very broad 7 peak between 40° and 44° corresponding to (00l) and (10) reflections indicated the presence of turbostratic structure (i.e. t-BN), as also observed by Alkoy et al [29]. The turbostratic structure is formally analogous to that of turbostratic carbon blacks and can be identified as intermediate between the h-BN and amorphous BN.…”

“…However, BNS and BNS NH 3 might be identified as turbostratic BN, According to the results of Thomas et al [2] and Pease et al [3], the Bragg angles of (002) and (10) reflections in XRD pattern of the two-dimensional structure turbostratic BN are coincident with those of hexagonal boron nitride with three-dimensional crystal structures, but lacking of some types of reflections such as (102), (004). It is well known that heating the samples at high temperature would lead to the disordered boron nitride is converted to high ordered hexagonal BN [2][3][4][5].…”

“…4b and the identification of boron using EDX, the reduced powder was found to be SiC partly covered with t-BN. It is well known that t-BN is transformed into h-BN, [26][27][28] analogous to the structural Fig. 3.…”
