报告摘要：
The highly efficient thermal management is very important for quick heat release in the face of increasing power consumption of electronic devices. Moreover, high-energy high-power electricity storage is key to next-generation electronic and electric devices. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a layered material with a regular network of BN hexagons, is a structural sister system of famous graphite. BN is highly insulating and wide-bandgap in properties, and more stable than graphite in thermology and chemistry. These make BN be a perfect sidekick of graphite nanomaterials, and enable their bright prospects in high thermal conductivity, strong ultraviolet emission, glorious thermal and chemical inertness, rubout insulation and superb lubrication. However, their insufficient production rather limited the studies and the full realization of potentials. We aim to develop new nanomaterials such as nanotubes and nanosheets in boron-carbon-nitrogen system for their applications to thermal conductive packaging as well as energy storage. We have recently developed effective methods for the high-yield syntheses of BN nanotubes and nanosheets. We have synthesized gram-level high-quality BN nanotubes through the carbon free- chemical vapor deposition and gram-level nanosheets by the chemical blowing method, which make them possible to initiate the studies of polymetric composites. Thin BN nanotubes with diameter less than 10 nm were fabricated successfully by optimizing the reaction of metal oxide and boron source. BN nanosheets with average thickness around 5 nm were effectively realized via polymerization and crystallization of ammonia borane, based on the chemical blowing method. Our BN nanotubes and nanosheets have been filled into polymer matrix to make thermal conductive composites, which were created with 20-times increase of original thermal conductivity. They are useful for heating-release insulting packaging of down-sizing faster cooler electronics. Due to the special polarity of boron nitrogen bonding, the BN nanomaterials with high specific surface area have also been developed and applied to dense hydrogen uptake. Our synthesis methods are thus extended for producing new graphene materials, e.g. 3D strutted-graphene (SG) via chemical blowing. The SG consists of continuous graphitic membranes which are homogenously connected and spatially supported by the networks of micrometer-width graphitic struts. The high electrical conductivity, specific surface area, mechanical strength and elasticity are thus simultaneously achieved.
In addition, we indeed demonstrate the striking effects of tensile, compressive and bending deformation on the electrical response of BN nanotubes and nanosheets under manipulation and electrical probing in HRTEM using STM/AFM-TEM special holders. The bending forces of BN nanotubes are directly measured inside HRTEM and real-time video-recording of elastic kinking deformation (that reveals a superb BN nanotube flexibility) is performed. We conclude here that BN nanotubes have a high potential for the applications in novel nanoscale sensors, actuators and advanced nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).
