Boron Nitride Nanostructures

This book gives a focused view of boron nitride (BN) nanostructures, including their structure, synthesis, properties, and various energy and healthcare-related applications. It covers varied dimensional structures of BN, along with other crystalline phases, and important properties of all these structures. It also covers different synthesis routes for all types of BN nanostructures, functional groups, defect engineering etc. Further sections cover energy storage and conversion, biomedical, piezoelectric and sensing applications including challenges and opportunities.

Provides exhaustive coverage of nanostructures of boron nitride. Discusses pertinent structure, synthesis, functionalization, and properties in detail. Emphasizes applications in the energy and healthcare sectors. Contains individual chapters on zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional structures of boron nitride. Includes patentability, market potential, and actual product information.

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, and Chemistry.
