Abstract

Boron nitride (BN)-based nanomaterials attract considerable attention due to their unique properties. In this study, we found that sonication treatment of multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in primary alcohols had led to chemical peeling of their sidewalls through alcoholysis, thereby producing boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs).
