Abstract
KFeO2 is demonstrated for efficiency catalysing the formation of BN nanotubes (BNNT) by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD). This alkali-based catalyst enables the formation of crystalline and high aspect ratio, multi-walled BNNTs at temperatures as low as 750°C, significantly lower than those typical of production by TCVD.
