Process for controlling structure and/or properties of carbon and boron nanomaterials

摘要

Processes for altering the structure and/or properties of carbon nanomaterials and inorganic nanomaterials, such as boron nitride nanotubes are described. The processes can be used to produce a carbon nanotube product comprising predominantly carbon nanotube (CNTs) having a desired average length. The processes can also be used to fabricate carbon nanodots. The processes can also be used to slice inorganic nanotubes or nanowires. The processes can also be used to form supramolecular fullerene assemblies.
