Abstract

See full text

A method for converting amorphous boron nitride to crystalline boron nitride, the method comprising immersing the amorphous boron nitride into anhydrous molten magnesium chloride maintained within a temperature range of 720° C.-820° C. while the amorphous boron nitride is cathodically polarized at a voltage within a range of −2.2V to −2.8V for a period of time of at least 2 minutes to result in conversion of the amorphous boron nitride to the crystalline form. Also described herein is a method for converting an amorphous carbon material to a crystalline carbon material, the method comprising immersing said amorphous carbon material into anhydrous molten magnesium chloride maintained within a temperature range of 780° C.-820° C. while the amorphous carbon material is cathodically polarized at a voltage within a range of −2.2V to −2.8V for a period of time of at least 2 minutes to result in conversion of the amorphous carbon material to the crystalline form.
