— Multiwall BN nanotubes and nanocages are synthesized by co-pyrolyzing NH4BF4, KBH4, and NaN3 in the presence of a mixture of Zn powder and reduced Fe powder (autoclave, 450—600 °C, 40 h, ≈50% yield). The samples are characterized by powder XRD, FTIR, XPS, and TEM. The obtained nanotubes exhibit a diameter range of 60—350 nm and a length range of 0.5—5 µm. — (XU, L.; PENG, Y.; MENG, Z.; YU, W.; ZHANG, S.; LIU, X.; QIAN*, Y.; Chem.
