High-Quality Boron Nitride Nanoribbons: Unzipping during Nanotube Synthesis

Zipper examined: High‐quality boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) can be produced directly during nanotube synthesis without post‐treatment. These BNNRs are typically several micrometers long and tens of nanometers wide. Near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure investigations indicated that the BNNRs...

Summary:Zipper examined: High‐quality boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) can be produced directly during nanotube synthesis without post‐treatment. These BNNRs are typically several micrometers long and tens of nanometers wide. Near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure investigations indicated that the BNNRs are of high chemical purity and crystallinity.
