- Description
- Metal borides belong to the class of high-temperature ceramics and have conventionally been used for high-temperature applications. However, in the past few decades, new variants of metal borides have emerged, with high catalytic capabilities. Owing to their tuneable structural, compositional, and morphological properties, metal borides have huge potential for industrially relevant catalytic applications. This chapter compiles the existing knowledge on the ever-expanding family of metal borides. Various synthesis strategies that are commonly adopted for the fabrication of metal borides, both in crystalline and amorphous/nanocrystalline forms, are discussed in detail. The chapter also aims to explain the origin of catalysis in metal borides. Some of the most prominent catalytic applications of metal borides are vividly discussed in this chapter. At the end of this chapter, a brief outlook is provided for future research initiatives with metal borides. 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
