The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order
to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These …

The paper presents a brief review of the present state of high-temperature borate crystal
chemistry. This review summarizes the results of high-and low-temperature single crystal X …

A chemical cosubstitution strategy was implemented to design potential ultraviolet (UV) and
deep-UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Taking the classic β-BaB2O4 as a maternal …

Hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BNNS), the isoelectronic analog to graphene, have
received interest over the past decade due to their high thermal oxidative resistance, high …

Crystalline borates have received great attention due to their various structures and wide
applications. For a long time, the corner-sharing B–O unit is considered a basic rule in …

During the past decade, NMR crystallography has emerged as a complementary strategy to
the usual diffraction techniques for structure determination. Solid-state NMR (ss-NMR) has …

Li4Na2CsB7O14 with unique edge-sharing [BO4] 5− tetrahedra, an unprecedented
[B14O28] 14− cluster, and high anisotropic thermal expansion has been obtained under …

The α-and β-modifications of barium metaborate are important functional materials used in
optoelectronic devices. A new theoretically predicted modification of BaB2O4 has been …

Boron-based catalysts have attracted attention in recent years, due to their high selectivity
for light olefins in the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP). But they still …

Abstract Hydroxylherderite, Ca2Be2P2O8 (OH) 2, is among the most common
beryllophosphates in nature and could play a substantial role in Be geochemical cycle …
