Abstrakt: We have investigated the reaction between disordered (turbostratic) boron nitride and lithium carbonate under a nitrogen atmosphere using x rays and electron microscopy. Lithium borate and cyanamide were found to be the reaction products at a temperature of 650°C. Spontaneous crystallization of highly, ordered graphitic boron nitride occurs from solution in a melt of lithium borates at 1000°C. Three-dimensional ordering and crystal size increase with elevation of the temperature to 1450°C.
