Boron and its Compounds in New Energy and Materials Fields

Boron and its compounds play an important role in modern energy and material sciences for the bight application prospect. The applications of boron and its compounds in material fields especially advanced materials including permanent magnetic, superconducting, boride cermets, boron-based fuel-rich propellants and borate whisker materials were summarized in this paper, and the new trend for the exploitation and application was also pointed out.
