Cubic boron nitride (cBN) exhibits superior hardness and strength as compared with other ceramics that are commonly used as abrasives and cutting tools. The recently synthesized polycrystalline cBN bulk material with ultrafine nanotwin substructures possesses a remarkable combination of high hardness, fracture toughness, and thermal stability. The twin substructure has been demonstrated to exert dislocation-blocking effect similar to grain boundary, leading to strengthening of materials. So far, the synthesis of cBN nanoparticles with ultrafine nanotwin substructures has not yet been realized. Herein, we report on the synthesis of cBN nanoparticles from onion-like boron nitride (oBN) under high pressure and high temperature. Multiple characterization methods, including X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, revealed that the as-prepared cBN nanoparticles contained high-density nanotwin substructures. The use of the highly wrinkled oBN precursor and well-designed synthetic method were the key to obtain these unique ultrafine nanotwinned cBN nanoparticles.
