SnO2 nanoparticle-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes
Article Abstract:
Boron nitride nanotubes were synthesized by a carbon-free chemical vapor deposition method using boron and metal oxide as reactants with SnO2 particles functionalized on them through a simple wet chemistry method. The detailed transmission electron microscopy observations reveal that SnO2 nanoparticles may cover the tube surface or be encapsulated in tube channels.

Purification of boron nitride nanotubes through polymer wrapping
Article Abstract:
An effective method to remove obstinate boron nitride phase impurities in boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) was proposed. The results revealed that the impurities were effectively removed and the resultant BNNTs possessed perfect crystallization.
