A Simple Grinding Method for Preparing Ultra-Thin Boron Nanosheets
The preparation of boron nanosheets has very strict requirements of the preparation environment and substrate. In this work, the boron nanosheets were tried to prepare by the grinding method, using β-B alloy with stable chemical properties and large crystal plane spacing. Its morphology and chemical...

description | The preparation of boron nanosheets has very strict requirements of the preparation environment and substrate. In this work, the boron nanosheets were tried to prepare by the grinding method, using β-B alloy with stable chemical properties and large crystal plane spacing. Its morphology and chemical bonds of boron nanosheets were analyzed by scanning microscope (SEM), transmission microscope (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the two-dimensional boron nanosheets can be prepared from β-B powder by the grinding method. There are very few B-O bonds in boron particles, and the B-B bonds are principally dominant. In addition to a few B-O bonds, including some B-B bonds change to B<sub>6</sub>O bonds which are not completely oxidized, indicating that boron has certain oxidation resistance. |
