In this work, we investigated a chemical method for the synthesis of boron nitride 
(BN) nanoparticles using boric acid and urea as starting materials. The production 
process was divided into three stages: the first stage is the preparation of B, N 
containing products, the second stage is the preparation of boron nitride nanoparticles, 
the third stage is the washing of the obtained boron nitride nanoparticles. The size and 
shape of the nanoparticles formed at each stage of synthesis, the elemental and phase 
composition of the obtained BN nanoparticles were also studied. 
The shape and size of the synthesized boron nitride nanoparticles were studied using 
a transmission electron microscope (Figure 1a). The size distribution of BN 
nanoparticles is shown in Figure 1b.

The average size of the resulting nanoparticles is 7.6 nm. The authors developed a 
highly efficient method for washing boron nitride of chemical precursors containing B 
and N, which makes it possible to obtain pure BN nanoparticles. 
The proposed method has proven to be a simple, highly efficient, safe and 
inexpensive way to obtain boron nitride nanoparticles, which can later be used in 
industry to obtain BN nanoparticles.
