Abstract
Metal borides, a class of materials intensively used in industry as superconductors, magnetic materials, or hot cathodes, remain largely unexplored at the nanoscale mainly due to the difficulty in synthesizing single-phase nanocrystals. Recent works have shown that synthetic methods at lower temperatures (
