The correct option is C c) Both 1 and 2
The researchers have shown that a large fraction of Magnesium diboride crystals can undergo dissolution in water under ambient conditions to result in nanocrystal precursors, which recrystallize in a 2D fashion after some time.
This non classical recrystallization can be used to obtain a high yield of boron-based nanostructures like nanodots, nanograins, and nanoflakes.
This discovery, according to the researchers, constitutes a fundamental set of findings in the science of Magnesium diboride, a material that has been primarily known for its superconductive properties.
The method yields an aqueous colloid of these nanosheets, which means that a drop of water from this colloid would contain thousands of ultrathin nanosheets swimming like micro-carpets.
Boron has attracted nanotechnology researchers because of its rich properties – low density, high mechanical strength but lighter weight, high thermal resistance, high specific resistance at ordinary temperature, high melting point, ability to absorb neutrons, and high resistance to chemical attacks.
The ability of these boron-based nanostructures to selectively absorb UV radiation makes them promising candidates for developing transparent UV absorbing films. These functionalized magnesium boride nanostructures (containing hydrides, oxides, and hydroxide functional groups) are also promising candidates for engineering hydrogen storage materials.
The rich chemistry of boron is expected to make these nanosheets useful for not only storing energy but also for generating energy in a greenway. They are now working towards utilizing these nanosheets for developing the next generation batteries and nanocatalysts.
