A floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method was developed for the synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) boron nitride (BN) nanostructures. By carefully tuning the experimental parameters such as growth temperature, floating catalyst concentration, and boron precursor, high quality 1D BN nanostructures including nanotubes, nanobamboos, and nanowires were selectively produced. The microstructures of the obtained 1D BN nanomaterials were characterized, and it was found that the nanostructures are composed of hexagonal BN phase with (002) planes stacking in different manners. A growth mechanism of the BN nanostructures was proposed based on the analysis of their structural characteristics and growth conditions.

Abstract Atomically sharp heterojunctions in lateral two-dimensional heterostructures can provide the narrowest one-dimensional functionalities driven by unusual interfacial electronic states. For instance, the highly controlled growth of patchworks of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) would be a potential platform to explore unknown electronic, thermal, spin or optoelectronic property. However, to date, the possible emergence of physical properties and functionalities monitored by the interfaces between metallic graphene and insulating h-BN remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate a blue emitting atomic-resolved heterojunction between graphene and h-BN. Such emission is tentatively attributed to localized energy states formed at the disordered boundaries of h-BN and graphene. The weak blue emission at the heterojunctions in simple in-plane heterostructures of h-BN and graphene can be enhanced by increasing the density of the interface in graphene quantum dots array embedded in the h-BN monolayer. This work suggests that the narrowest, atomically resolved heterojunctions of in-plane two-dimensional heterostructures provides a future playground for optoelectronics.

In the initial stages of chemical vapor deposition on a Cu(111) surface, one-dimensional Bn–1Nn (N-rich environment) or BnNn–1 (B-rich) chains first appear, and they transform to two-dimensional sp2 networks or h-BN islands at a critical size of 13.

Nano-faceted crystals answer the call for self-assembled, physico-chemically tailored materials, with those arising from a kinetically mediated response to free-energy disequilibria ( thermokinetics ) holding the greatest promise. The dynamics of slightly undercooled crystal–melt interfaces possessing strongly anisotropic and curvature-dependent surface energy and evolving under attachment–detachment limited kinetics offer a model system for the study of thermokinetic effects. The fundamental non-equilibrium feature of this dynamics is explicated through our discovery of one-dimensional convex and concave translating fronts ( solitons ) whose constant asymptotic angles provably deviate from the thermodynamically expected Wulff angles in direct proportion to the degree of undercooling. These thermokinetic solitons induce a novel emergent facet dynamics, which is exactly characterized via an original geometric matched-asymptotic analysis. We thereby discover an emergent parabolic symmetry of its coarsening facet ensembles, which naturally implies the universal scaling law L ∼ t 1 / 2 for the growth in time t of the characteristic length L .
