Boron Trioxide Nanopowder / Nanoparticles (B2O3, 99.9%, APS<100nm)

Boron Trioxide NanoPowder Applications

Glass: boron trioxide has played an important role in the production of special lenses, so it is not surprising that engineers and researchers have quickly found nanoscale applications. Not only does it play a key role in the production of certain nanocomposites and glasses, but it is also a central material for borosilicate glass and glass-based optical fibers. It is also used as an additive in various glasses and nanocomposites in which it plays a less important role.
Synthesis of boron compounds: many boron compounds are synthesized from a boron trioxide base. The potential and unique properties of nanoscale boron trioxide in this process are the subjects of much attention in engineering and academic circles.
Optics: Like many nanomaterials, boron trioxide has unique optical properties at such scales. This adds to its traditional role as a material for optical fibers and related materials and devices.

Properties of Boron Trioxide (B₂O₃) NanoPowder

Boron trioxide (B₂O₃) in nano-powder form exhibits a range of distinct properties due to its reduced particle size, increased surface area, and enhanced reactivity compared to bulk material. These properties make boron trioxide nano-powder particularly valuable for advanced applications in electronics, materials science, catalysis, and other high-tech industries. Here are the key properties of Boron Trioxide NanoPowder:

High Surface Area:

Increased Reactivity: Nano-sized boron trioxide has a significantly larger surface area compared to its bulk form. This allows for more surface reactions, making it highly reactive and suitable for applications in catalysis, chemical reactions, and sensing.

Enhanced Adsorption Capacity: Due to the high surface area, nano-powder B₂O₃ can adsorb more molecules (e.g., in gas phase or in liquids), making it useful in filtration and catalytic processes.

Thermal Properties:

High Melting Point: Boron trioxide has a high melting point of about 450°C (842°F) in its bulk form, but the nano-powder can exhibit slightly altered thermal properties. It can have enhanced thermal stability, which is valuable in high-temperature environments like ceramic processing or metal alloys.

Thermal Conductivity: Nano-powdered boron trioxide has moderate thermal conductivity, which makes it useful in thermal management applications, such as heat shields or thermal interface materials.
