Boron Nitride Nanotube Membranes for Giant Power Generation
Fabrication method for vertically aligned BNNT membranes.
Invention Summary:
Rutgers scientists and collaborators have developed an innovative method to fabricate vertically aligned boron-nitride nanotube (BNNT) membranes with high nanopore density. BNNTs were aligned and concentrated in a liquid pre-polymer with an external field, and then locked...
