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.

激光质子-硼聚变反应是一种无辐射核能源，但由于缺乏有效的燃料材料而受到反应速率低的限制。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富集硼化物和吸氢氮化硼纳米片来开发新型燃料材料。 预期成果包括两种新型储氢纳米材料、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核动力源。
