Low-temperature synthesis of nanosized metal borides through reaction of Lithium borohydride (cas 16949-15-8) with metal hydroxides or oxides

In this study, we report a novel and facile synthesis approach of boron-rich transition metal borides such as LaB6 and TiB2 through reaction of Lithium borohydride (cas 16949-15-8) (LiBH4) with corresponding metal hydroxide or oxide at temperatures below 600 °C. A fast endothermic reaction occurred at around 350 °C in the ball milled mixture of 6LiBH4 + La(OH)3 or 12LiBH4 + La2O3, efficiently producing crystalline LaB6 nanoparticles of a size smaller than 100 nm. In comparison, the reaction of LiBH4 with TiO2 proceeded within a wide temperature range from 120 °C to 500 °C, resulting in the formation of nanocrystalline TiB2 of only a few nanometers. This synthesis method proved to be a facile and general route to fabricate nanosized transition metal borides.
