Dual role of Magnesium as a catalyst and precursor with enriched boron in the synthesis of Magnesium diboride nanoparticles

Nano-scale powder of Magnesium (Mg) is found to play the dual role of catalyst and precursor with Boron-10 (10B) in the synthesis of Magnesium diboride nanoparticles (Mg10B2NPs) at 800 °C. Catalytically, Mg softens and melts enriched Boron at a relatively lower temperature than its actual boiling po...
