Ideal nanowire interconnects for nanoelectronics will be refractory, covalently bonded, and highly conductive, irrespective of crystallographic orientation. Theoretical studies suggest that boron nanotubes should be stable and exhibit higher electrical conductivities than those of carbon nanotubes. We describe CVD growth of elemental boron nanowires, which are found to be dense nanowhiskers rather than nanotubes. Conductivity measurements establish that they are semiconducting, with electrical properties consistent with those of elemental boron. High conductivities should be achievable through doping.

Exploring the effects of electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) functional groups in tuning the condensed state properties has been a challenging yet efficient approach to reveal promising materials for cutting-edge applications. Herein, a series of boron-nitrogen (BN) incorporated organic congeners (NBNMe2, NBOMe, NBF, NBCl, NBBr, NBCN, NBPy) appended with functional groups having various degrees of D/A characteristics were developed and their potential in controlling supramolecular assembly and condensed state luminescence features (>90 nm redshift in ) was explored. Despite the minor structural engineering in BN-based small molecules, they effectively modulated conformational orientation and molecular packing, leading to the directed growth of distinct and highly ordered self-assembly patterns, , nanosheets, nanospheres, nanowires, and nanorods.

Biomass valorization is a way to promote the 'waste-to-wealth' concept, which is a pre-requisite condition for a future sustainable lifestyle. The direct utilization of natural polymer for value-added materials should be prioritized. With this object, we demonstrate a facile and economical method to prepare chitin-derived supramolecular nanowires-stabilized single-atom sites Pt catalysts (SS-Pt-CSNs).

Enrofloxacin (ENR) residues in animal derived foods are harmful to human health. A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor was constructed for ENR detection utilizing a self-enhanced quasi-three-dimensional luminescent-composite of boron nitride quantum dots/nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon crosslinked with copper nanowires (BNQDs/NMC-CuNWs). One-dimensional CuNWs with near-infrared electrochemiluminescence (NIR-ECL) properties were inserted into the electroactive layer of two-dimensional NMC to form quasi-three-dimensional NMC-CuNWs, which inhibited the aggregation of CuNWs and increased the electron and active ion transport rates.

Using gradient-corrected density functional theory we investigate the mechanical properties of ultrathin boron (B) and phosphorus (P) doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs) along the [001] and [111] orientations within the PBE approximation. Both pristine and doped SiNWs under study have diameters ranging from 5 to 8 Å. Our results show that doping significantly enhances the bulk modulus (B0), shear modulus (GV), Young's modulus (), and other mechanical parameters.

With vigorous developments in nanotechnology, the elaborate regulation of microstructure shows attractive potential in the design of electromagnetic wave absorbers. Herein, a hierarchical porous structure and composite heterogeneous interface are constructed successfully to optimize the electromagnetic loss capacity. The macro-micro-synergistic graphene aerogel formed by the ice template‑assisted 3D printing strategy is cut by silicon carbide nanowires (SiC) grown in situ, while boron nitride (BN) interfacial structure is introduced on graphene nanoplates.
