Borat varlığında hekzagonal bor nitrür sentezi

Boron nitride (BN) is a synthetic product and not found in nature. Boron nitride is an extraordinary topic in the area of materials science. Due to the special bonding behaviors of boron and nitrogen the BN exists in many different structures. In this study, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was synthesized in the presence of borates by using modified O'Connor method. Using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis, the structural properties were analyzed. The h-BN formation was observed by FTIR results. The interlayer distance was changed with using borates according to the XRD analysis and this is proved by TEM analysis. Besides, the grain size and lattice parameters were calculated from XRD results. Results were very close to the values in the literature. In the presence of lithium tetraborate, h-BN was formed as a nano rod at 1300°C.
