TEM electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy indicate that the nanowires are single-crystal CaB6 and have a preferred [001] growth direction. Analysis of TEM/EDX/EELS data proves the nanowires consist of CaB6 cores and thin (1−2 nm) amorphous oxide shell material. The CaB6 nanowires have diameters of ∼15−40 nm, and lengths of ∼1−10 µm. -2 22 Calcium hexaboride (CaB6), one of the divalent alkaline- (CaCO3) and boron carbide (B4C) at 1400 °C and 10 Pa, earth cubic hexaborides, has low density (2.45 g/cm3), high by reduction of calcium oxide (CaO) with B at 1200-1800 3 melting point (2235 °C), high hardness (Knoop: 2600 kg/ °C in vacuum, and by reaction of calcium chloride (CaCl2) 2 mm ), high Young’s modulus (379 GPa), and high chemical with sodium borohydride (NaBH4)at500°C in an autoclave 1,2 23 stability.

  • "Boron Halides"
    138 BORON HALIDES Vol. 4 BORON HALIDES 1. Introduction The boron trihalides boron trifluoride [7637-07-2], BF3, boron trichloride [10294- 34-5], BCl3, and boron tribromide [10294-33-4], BBr3, are important industrial chemicals having increased usage as Lewis acid catalysts and in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes (see ELECTRONIC MATERIALS). Boron halides are widely used in the laboratory as catalysts and reagents in numerous types of organic reactions and as starting material for many organoboron and inorganic boron compounds. An exhaustive review of the literature on boron halides up to 1984 is available (1–5). Of particular interest are review articles on BCl3 (1), BBr3 (2), and boron triiodide [13517-10-7], BI3 (3). An excellent review on diboron tetrahalides and polyhedral boron halides is available (6). Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. Copyright John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Vol. 4 BORON HALIDES 139 2. Physical Properties 2 Boron trihalides, BX3, are trigonal planar molecules which are sp hybridized. The X–B–X angles are 1208. Important physical and thermochemical data are presented in Table 1 (7–13). Additional thermodynamic and spectroscopic data may be found in the literature (1–5). Table 1.

  • Low-Temperature Synthesis of Boride Powders by Controlling Microstructure in Precursor Using Organic Compounds
    Journal of the Ceramic Society of Japan 126 [8] 602-608 2018 -Japan DOI http://doi.org/10.2109/jcersj2.18093 JCS SPECIAL ARTICLE The 72th CerSJ Awards for Advancements in Ceramic Science and Technology: Review Low-temperature synthesis of boride powders by controlling microstructure in precursor using organic compounds Masaki KAKIAGE1,³ 1 Institute for Fiber Engineering, Shinshu University (IFES), Interdisciplinary Cluster for Cutting Edge Research (ICCER), Shinshu University, 3–15–1 Tokida, Ueda, Nagano 386–8567, Japan The carbothermal reduction of boron oxide (B2O3) is an important process for the synthesis of boride powders. As a low-temperature synthesis method for boron carbide (B4C) powder by carbothermal reduction, we focused on an approach using a condensed product prepared from boric acid (H3BO3) and an organic compound with a number of hydroxyl groups (a polyol) such as glycerin, mannitol, or poly(vinyl alcohol). A borate ester bond was formed by the dehydration condensation of H3BO3 and a polyol, leading to the homogeneous dispersion of the boron and carbon sources at the molecular level. The thermal decomposition of a condensed H3BO3-polyol product in air was performed to control the amount of carbon to the stoichiometric C/B2O3 ratio required for carbothermal reduction. Within the thermally decomposed product consisting of B2O3 and carbon compo- nents (B4C precursor), a B2O3/carbon structure at the nanometer scale was formed. The improved dispersibility and homogeneity of the B2O3/carbon microstructure accelerated the B4C formation at a lower temperature. Consequently, crystalline B4C powder with little free carbon was synthesized by heat treatment at a low temperature of 1200°C in an Ar flow.

  • Low-Temperature Synthesis of Calcium Hexaboride Nanoparticles Via Magnesiothermic Reduction in Molten Salt
    Journal of the Ceramic Society of Japan 125 [12] 866-871 2017 Full paper Low-temperature synthesis of calcium hexaboride nanoparticles via magnesiothermic reduction in molten salt Ke BAO, Liangxu LIN, Hong CHANG and Shaowei ZHANG³ College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QF, UK Calcium hexaboride (CaB6) nanoparticles were prepared via low temperature magnesiothermic reduction of CaO and B2O3 in molten NaCl, KCl or CaCl2. The effects of salt type, Mg amount, and firing temperature and time on the reaction extents were examined, and the responsible reaction mechanisms were discussed. Under an identical firing condition, CaCl2 facilitated the overall synthesis more effectively than the other two salts. In the case of using 20 mol % excessive Mg, phase-pure CaB6 nanoparticles of ³50 nm were formed in CaCl2 after 6 h at 800°C. The “dissolution-precipitation” mechanism is believed to be responsible for the molten salt synthesis of high quality nanosized CaB6 particles at such a low temperature. ©2017 The Ceramic Society of Japan.

  • Densification and Mechanical Properties of Cab6 with Nickel As A
    Ceramics International 31 (2005) 271–276 www.elsevier.com/locate/ceramint Densification and mechanical properties of CaB6 with nickel as a sintering aid Lixia Yanga, Guanghui Mina,*, Huashun Yua, Jiande Hana, Y.B. Padernob aSchool of Materials Science and Engineering, South Campus of Shandong University, Jinan 250061, PR China bInstitute for Problems of Materials Science, National Academy of Science of Ukraine, Kiev 03142, Ukraine Received 11 July 2003; received in revised form 25 February 2004; accepted 3 May 2004 Available online 3 August 2004 Abstract The densification behavior and mechanical properties of CaB6 with additions of nickel up to 35 wt.% were investigated. Sinterability was greatly improved by the addition of nickel. When 28 wt.% nickel was added, nearly full density was obtained. This improvement was attributed to the enhanced mobility of the melting of metals including the evaporated calcium or the formation of new phases in the Ca–B–Ni system at the grain boundaries. As a result of this improvement in the density, mechanical properties has been increased remarkably. Because of the elimination of pores, CaB6 with 28 wt.% nickel has a maximum value of flexural strength and fracture toughness. The enhancement of the fracture toughness was due to a mixed mode of intergranular and transgranular fracture with a distinct step-cleavage pattern. # 2004 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Nonoxide ceramics such as TiB2 have been found to be effective as sintering aid for CaB6. Because of their strong bonds between the boron atoms, However, either large amounts of second phase, or extre- borides are particularly promising.
