Abstract

Magnesium diboride as a precursor with dual role of Nitrogen introduces a simple "decomposition-adsorption-deposition (DAD)" technique for the synthesis of Hexagonal Boron nitride microsheets (BNMSs) on silicon (Si) substrate at 1100 degrees C. The synthesized BNMSs has the apparent morphology like the white dispersed feathers on a plate surface with diameter in the range of 3-15 mu m and lengt greater than 30 mu m. All the BNMSs has the characteristics of h-BN lattice with an interlayer spacing of 0.34 nm. Boron and Nitrogen elemental compositions and h-BN phase of the synthesized BNMSs are verified from its characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman.
