Progress on boron nitride nanostructure materials: properties, synthesis and applications in hydrogen storage and analytical chemistry

Recent insights into BCN nanomaterials – synthesis, properties and applications

“…54 h-BN displays high chemical stability, thermal stability, electrical properties, tunable solubility, high-temperature lubricating properties, and gas adsorption properties. 54–56 These days, boron nitride-based composites are also gaining much research interest due to improved properties than h-BN. In 1995, Chopra et al synthesized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) for the first time.…”

Preparation of Strong and Thermally Conductive, Spider Silk-Inspired, Soybean Protein-Based Adhesive for Thermally Conductive Wood-Based Composites

“…28,29 The special crystal structure of BN imparts substantial chemical inertness, weak interfacial nucleophilicity, and suboptimal dispersion, which limit the compatibility of BN with other substances. 30,31 Therefore, the resolution of interfacial bonding challenges between the protein and BN and careful selection of the cross-linking agent are crucial factors for preparing a microphase separation structure that facilitates thermal conductivity while simultaneously preventing the adhesive's performance from deteriorating. In this study, ball milling was used for mechanically stripping BN to nanosheets.…”

Synthesis of fluorescent boron carbon nitride nanosheets for the detection of Cu2+ ions and epinephrine

“…29 The discovery of an intriguing 2D graphene material has sparked interest in similar components like hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), boron carbide, transition metal dichalcogenides, and carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ). [30][31][32] Another intriguing layered material in this class is boron carbon nitride (BCN), which is expected to have characteristics like graphene and h-BN. 33 The ternary hybrid BCN materials are a graphene and BN analogue with sp 2 hybridised by boron (B), carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) atoms.…”
