Abstract:
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have outstanding properties and potential applications. However, the fundamental issue regarding the growth mechanism remains an open question. Herein, we design a bimetallic catalyst that dissolves B and N simultaneously, which has been proved to be key for BNNT growth.
