Boron Doped Graphene Nanopowder (B/C)

Boron Doped Graphene Nanopowder (B/C)

Boron-doped graphene (BG) is a chemically modified form of graphene in which boron atoms are introduced into the carbon lattice. This doping process alters the electronic structure of graphene, opening a band gap and significantly enhancing its reactivity and surface activation characteristics. As a result, boron-doped graphene exhibits improved catalytic properties and electrochemical behavior compared to pristine graphene.
