Preparation of boron nitride nanosheet-coated carbon fibres and their enhanced antioxidant and microwave-absorbing properties.

ABSTRACT: In this study, annealing carbon fibres with boron and FeCl₃·6H₂O at elevated temperatures was demonstrated as a novel route to coat carbon fibres with boron nitride (BN) nanosheets. The effect of annealing temperature on the thickness and microstructure of BN coating was investigated. Results showed that BN coating hardly formed at 1000 °C, and uniform BN coating was achieved at 1100 °C and 1200 °C. However, further increasing the temperature to 1250 °C triggered the formation of discretely distributed BN particles on the surface of the BN coating in addition to the formation of a uniform BN coating. The BN coating and particles were constructed by numerous BN nanosheets with a bending and crumpling morphology. The thickness of the BN coating increased with increasing
