الوصف: Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) are poised to fill an electrically insulating, high-temperature, high-strength niche. Despite significant progress over the past two decades, BNNTs are not yet synthesized in high enough quantity and quality to permit their use in engineering applications. The next necessary step to make BNNTs accessible for research and applications is to improve the availability of high-quality BNNTs. Here, we present a scalable bulk purification technique that yields high-purity BNNTs. Bulk synthesized material is introduced to a wet oxygen environment at elevated temperatures to remove elemental boron and hexagonal boron nitride impurities with a final yield of purified BNNTs near 10 wt %. This process shows full removal of impurities, as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution TEM. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and infrared spectroscopy show minimal BNNT functionalization, while high-resolution TEM sh...
