研究目的
Investigating the growth mechanism of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in high temperature pressure (HTP) laser ablation to understand the coexistence of two growth modes and their impact on the quality and length of BNNTs.
研究成果
The study concludes that two growth modes, root growth and open-end growth, coexist in the synthesis of BNNTs via HTP laser ablation. The open-end growth mode is particularly effective in producing longer nanotubes with a higher growth rate. Understanding these growth mechanisms can pave the way for the mass production of BNNTs in a controlled manner and their application in various fields.
研究不足
The study is limited by the complexity of processes at the nanoscale in HTP laser vaporization, which may not be fully captured by the proposed growth modes. Additionally, the productivity of BNNTs in HTP laser ablation is significantly lower than in other thermal plasma processes.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) to analyze the morphology of BNNTs synthesized via HTP laser ablation. The synthesis process involved laser ablation of boron fibers in a nitrogen environment at high pressure and temperature.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BNNTs were synthesized using a bundle of boron fibers irradiated by a CO2 laser in a nitrogen-filled chamber. Samples were collected at different heights above the molten boron ball for qualitative comparison.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The HTP laser ablation system included a Laser C3000C (FANUC), CO2 laser, ZnSe lens, high-speed camera (Phantom Miro M110, Vision Research), and optical emission spectrometer (Shamrock 500i, Andor). Characterization was performed using FE-SEM (NOVA Nano SEM 450, FEI), HR-TEM (Tecnai G2 F20, FEI), EELS, XPS (K-Alpha ESCA System, Thermo Scientific), and Raman spectroscopy (inVia, Renishaw).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Boron fibers were irradiated continuously by a CO2 laser in a nitrogen-filled chamber. The resulting BNNTs were collected at different heights and characterized using various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The length of BNNTs was measured using the Image J Program in FE-SEM images. The proportions of end structures were identified in HR-TEM analysis.
