Abstract

A novel large-scale fabrication technology for single-walled boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) relying on a template of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) was introduced. In order to obtain large-scale product, the high-energy ball milling-aided heating technology was used to promote the formation of BNNTs. And arc-discharge methods were used to provide nitrogen ion source. The products were oxidized at 800 °C in air atmosphere to obtain pure BNNTs. The structure and morphology of BNNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The multitudinous industrialized preparation methods for BNNTs were realized as a simple and effective route.
