What is boron nitride?

Boron nitride is a crystal composed of nitrogen atoms and boron atoms. The chemical composition is 43.6% boron and 56.4% nitrogen, with four different variants: hexagonal boron nitride (HBN), rhombohedral boron nitride (RBN), cubic boron nitride (CBN) and wurtzite nitrogen Boron (WBN).


Application of Boron Nitride

For the first time, chemical engineers used other nano-systems to functionalize boron nitride, boron nitride nanomaterials and its applications. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered a way to change boron nitride, which is a layered two-dimensional material, so it can be combined with other materials, such as electronics, biosensors, and materials in airplanes. The ability to better incorporate boron nitride into these components can help significantly improve their performance.

The scientific community has long been interested in boron nitride because of its unique properties-strong, ultra-thin, transparent, insulating, lightweight and thermally conductive-theoretically, it makes it an ideal material for various engineers. application. However, boron nitride's natural resistance to chemicals and lack of surface-level molecular binding sites make it difficult for the material to interface with other materials used in these applications.


Boron nitride is like a pile of high-viscosity paper. By treating this structure with chlorosulfonic acid, we introduce a positive charge on the boron nitride layer, causing the sheets to repel each other and separate. Boron and nitrogen are located on the left and right of carbon in the periodic table of elements. Therefore, boron nitride and carbon-based graphene are iso-structured and iso-electronic, which is considered a'miracle material'. We can use this material for all types of electronic products, such as photovoltaic and piezoelectric devices, and many other applications, from solar cell passivation layers, which act as filters that only absorb certain types of light, to medical diagnostic equipment
