Abstract
Boron carbonitrides (BCN) have attracted great interest in superhard or energy storage materials. In this work, thin BCN sheets were synthesized at 250 °C by a facile and green solvothermal method. The structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the results of electrochemical experiments, the thin BCN sheet exhibited excellent capacitance performance (343.1 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g) and cycling stability (90%), which showed high potential applications in supercapacitors.
Highlights
Capacitance (C) and Boron Nitride (BN) have similar atomic structures and physical properties but different thermal stability and electrical conductivity [1,2]
boron carbonitrides (BCN) materials in composite, magnetic, luminescent, and electronic materials have a wide range of applications [9,10]
Typical peaks of the graphite-like structure of BCN were observed at 26◦ and 43◦
Summary
Capacitance (C) and Boron Nitride (BN) have similar atomic structures and physical properties but different thermal stability and electrical conductivity [1,2]. Compounds were produced using C and BN, which exhibit favorable properties excellent force, heat, electricity and light [3,4,5]. These materials are considered as products of the substitution of some carbon atoms in the graphite network with boron (B) or Nitrogen (N). Ternary BCN nanotubes possess outstanding mechanical and electrical properties as compared with carbon nanotubes, good thermal and chemical stability, even under extreme conditions, such as high temperature and high pressure, their morphologies are similar [7,8]. BCN materials in composite, magnetic, luminescent, and electronic materials have a wide range of applications [9,10]
