| Abstract: | A method to synthesize boron nitride coating on the surface of
carbon nanotubes (nanofibers) without damaging the tube
walls has been developed. A reaction between boric acid and
ammonia was performed at moderate temperatures on the
surface of carbon nanotubes to form boron nitride (BN)
coatings. The surface structure of the carbon nanotubes significantly
influences the morphology of the boron nitride
coating. If the surface of the tubes is free of defects, highly
crystallized insulating BN nanotubes can encapsulate carbon
nanotubes. On the surface of carbon nanotubes with disordered
wall structure, a polycrystalline BN sheath was produced. |
