Abstract

Uniform magnesium borate hydroxide [MgBO₂(OH)] nanowhiskers with a diameter of 20-60 nm and an aspect ratio of 10-70 were synthesised via a coprecipitation/hydrothermal reaction route, using NaOH, MgCl₂ and H₃BO₃ as the reactants. The experimental results indicated that the control of the Mg/B/Na molar ratio at 2:3:4, the decrease in the NaOH concentration from 2-0 to 0-33 mol L^-1, the increase in the hydrothermal temperature from 160 to 240°C and the prolongation of the hydrothermal reaction time from 2-0 to 30·0 h could promote the growth of the MgBO₂(OH) nanowhiskers along the c axis, leading to the formation of the MgBO₂(OH) nanowhiskers with high aspect ratio.
