Ethylene glycol assisted low-temperature synthesis of boron carbide powder from borate citrate precursors

B4C powders were synthesized by carbothermal reduction of ethylene glycol (EG) added borate citrate precursors, and effects of EG additions (0–50 mol% based on citric acid) on the morphologies and yields of synthesized B4C powders were investigated. The conditions most suitable for the preparation o...
