摘要
The synthesis of B-C-N nanotubes and boron doped (1 to 5 at.% B) carbon nanotubes is achieved by an electric are-discharge between an anode made of homogeneous BC4N and a cathode made of graphite. The BC4N anode is prepared by pyrolysis of polymer precursors. The effect of boron doping is seen to increase the tube lengths up to 100 mu m and to improve graphitization. Boron and nitrogen are enriched at the surfaces of tubes with overall B-C-N composition. The observed structure of B-C-N tubes consists of concentric cylinders of BC2N and pure carbon.
