Overview of aluminum boride AlB2 powder
Aluminum diboride AlB2 powder is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AlB2. It is a binary compound formed by aluminum and boron. It is a red solid under normal temperature and pressure, and is hardly soluble in water.
Aluminum boride (AlB2) is a binary compound formed by aluminum and boron. It is a red solid under normal temperature and pressure. The surface gloss will be lost when heated. It is stable in cold dilute acid and decomposes in hot hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. It is obtained by mixing fine powders of aluminum and boron and heating them.

It is stable in cold dilute acid, and decomposes in hot hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. It is obtained by mixing fine powders of aluminum and boron after heating and reacting. It is one of two compounds of aluminum and boron, and the other is AlB12, which is usually called aluminum boride. AlB2 is a black and shiny monoclinic crystal with a specific gravity of 2.55 (18°C). It is insoluble in water, acid, and alkali. It is decomposed in hot nitric acid and is obtained by melting boron trioxide, sulfur and aluminum together.
Structurally, B atoms form a graphite-like sheet with Al atoms between them, which is very similar to the structure of magnesium diboride. The single crystal of AlB2 exhibits metallic conductivity on an axis parallel to the hexagonal plane of the substrate.
Aluminum boride AlB2 powder is considered a hazardous substance because it reacts with acid and hydrogen to produce toxic gases. For example, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to release borane and aluminum chloride.

The structure of aluminum diboride (AlB2)is similar to graphite flakes. There is an Al atom between the B atom and the B atom, which is very similar to the structure of magnesium diboride. The AlB 2 single crystal exhibits metal conductivity along an axis parallel to the hexagonal plane of the substrate.
Aluminum boride AlB2 powder is considered a hazardous substance because it reacts with acid and hydrogen to generate toxic gases. For example, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to release borane and aluminum chloride.
The crystal structure of AlB2 is often used to describe the prototype structure of intermetallic compounds. There are many structure types in the AlB2 structure family.
Aluminum boride AlB2 powder is an ionic compound with a hexagonal crystal structure. Aluminum boride AlB2 powder with an absolute temperature of 40K (equivalent to -233°C) will be transformed into a superconductor. Its actual working temperature is 20~30K. To reach this temperature, we can use liquid neon gas, liquid or closed-loop refrigerators to complete the cooling. Compared with the current industry that uses liquid helium to cool niobium alloys (4K), these methods are simpler and more economical. Once carbon or other impurities, magnesium diboride, or energization are added to the magnetic field, the ability to maintain superconductivity is as much as that of niobium alloys, or even better.
Product performance of aluminum diboride AlB2 powder
Aluminum boride AlB2 powder is an ionic compound with a hexagonal crystal structure. Aluminum boride AlB2 powder transforms into a superconductor at an absolute temperature of slightly lower than 40K (equivalent to -233°C). Its actual working temperature is 20-30K. To reach this temperature, we can use liquid neon, liquid or closed-loop refrigerators to complete the cooling. Compared with the current industry using liquid helium to cool niobium alloys (4K), these methods are simpler and more economical. Once carbon or other impurities, magnesium diboride, or current flow through the magnetic field, its ability to maintain superconductivity is as much as that of niobium alloys, or even better.
Application of aluminum boride AlB2 powder
Aluminum boride AlB2 powder is a random (or diamond-shaped) white or light yellow powder. It can be used as: non-toxic flame retardant, plastic, rubber, textile, coating, superconducting magnet, transmission line, sensitive magnetic field detector.
