We performed integrated modelling of the chemical pathways of formation for boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) precursors during high-temperature synthesis in a B/N2 mixture. Modelling includes quantum chemistry, quantum-classical molecular…
We have synthesized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in an arc in presence of boron and nitrogen species only, without transition metals. We find that BNNTs are often attached to pure boron nanoparticles, suggesting that root-growth is a…
This study investigates into the adsorption sensing capabilities of single-walled (5,5) boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) towards environmental pollutant gas molecules, including CH2, SO2, NH3, H2Se, CO2 and CS2. Employing a linear…
The growth of nanotube films on various substrates and surfaces is vital for applications in nanoscale functional devices. We report a simple and versatile boron (B) ink painting method that enables high-density boron nitride nanotube…
We analyze the optical, chemical, and electrical properties of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using the precursor ammonia-borane ($H_3N-BH_3$) as a function of $Ar/H_2$ background pressure ($P_{TOT}$).…
Driving molecular assembly into micrometer-scale patterns is key for defining advanced materials of interest in various fields, including life sciences, photovoltaics, and quantum photonics. However, the driving process competes with other…
Growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was performed by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) of propane on Si(111) with a pre-treated Ni overlayer acting as a catalyst. Prior to the growth of CNTs, a thin film of Ni was…
