Novel Fuel Materials for Radiation-Free Proton-Boron Fusion Power Source

激光质子-硼聚变反应是一种无辐射的核能能源，但由于缺乏有效的燃料材料，反应速率很低。该项目旨在利用我们在储氢和纳米材料合成方面的研究经验，通过合成同位素硼11富氢硼化物和氢吸附氮化硼纳米片来开发新的燃料材料。预期成果包括两种新的储氢纳米材料、相关的新合成技术，以及有助于减少二氧化碳排放的清洁安全的核能来源。

Laser proton-boron fusion reactions are a radiation-free nuclear energy source but are limited by a low reaction rate due to a lack of efficient fuel materials. This project aims to develop new fuel materials by synthesising isotope boron 11 enriched hydrogen borides and hydrogen adsorbed boron nitride nanosheets using our research experience in hydrogen storage and nanomateials synthesis. The expected outcomes include two new hydrogen storage nanomaterials, the associated new synthesis technologies, and a clean and safe nuclear power source, which helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
