The team has issued two new articles in September and October dedicated to boron chemistry in nanomaterials!
One article published in Inorganic Chemistry is one of the core achievements of Simon Delacroix would received his doctoral title recently. We report nanoparticles of a lithium boride and provide the first in-depth solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study, coupled to DFT calculations, in order to assign the 7Li and 11B NMR signals in such alkali borides. Nice collaboration with the SMILES group within LCMCP lab.
Synthesis in Molten Salts and Characterization of Li6B18(Li2O)x Nanoparticles, S. Delacroix, Y. Le Godec, C. Coelho-diogo, C. Gervais, I. Génois, P. Le Griel, D. Portehault*, Inorganic Chemistry, DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.0c01694
A second article relates to a work performed through our long-term collaboration with the team of Dr. Weiwei Lei at Deakin University. We report boronnitride-based membranes as high performance heat conductors.
Nacre-bionic nanocomposite membrane for efficient in-plane dissipation heat harvest under high temperature, J. Wang, D. Liu, Q. Li, C. Chen, Z. Chen, M. Naebe, P. Song, D. Portehault, C. J. Garvey, D. Golberg, W. Lei, Journal of Materiomics, DOI: 10.1016/j.jmat.2020.08.006
