A Review on Ternary Compounds of High Boron Transition Metals as Hardness Materials
摘要
Abstract
The high-pressure studies are less explored on high boron-based transition metals (HBTM) ternary compositions. Despite applications, most of the literature on boron-based compounds is limited to the studies of mono and di boron-based (AB and AB2) compounds. This review reports the detailed theoretical and experimental studies of HBTM ternary compounds to direct this research area. Most of these compounds are employed as hardness materials, magnetic materials, superconductors, 2D materials, catalysts etc. The discussion is extended to various recent HBTM ternary compounds followed by significant advancements and challenges as a promising domain.
