摘要
A substitution-reaction route has been demonstrated as an efficient synthesis route for producing single-walled and multiwalled (BN)-B-10 nanotubes (BNNTs). The nanotubes have diameters smaller than those of the starting carbon nanotubes and also have similar lengths to the starting carbon nanotubes. The isotopic ratio of B-10 in BNNTs depends on the isotopic ratio of the starting B2O3. A detailed growth model is also given for the carbon nanotube-substitution reaction.
