From: Interfacial oxidation of boron proceeds through a stable B₆O intermediate
The oxidation mechanism of boron was elucidated through the examination of three interfacial reaction processes using three distinct models. a Model 1: The B-B2O3 model was developed by introducing boron into an argon environment, and the chemical pathway at the B/B2O3 interface was examined. b Model 2: The B-B2O3-O2 model was developed by introducing boron into the air atmosphere, and the chemical process at the B/B2O3/O2 interface was examined. c Model 3: The fluoropolymer-modified boron (B@F) was subjected to an air environment to establish a B-O2 model, and the chemical process at the B/O2 interface was investigated.
