Here we describe a simple method to produce boron nanoparticles with control over surface chemistry and dispersiblity in different solvents, with potential applications ranging from high energy density fuels to neutron capture therapy. The methodology should be adaptable to many hard materials; indeed, we have produced hydrocarbon-dispersible silicon nanoparticles using a procedure similar to that described below. The method, based on high-energy milling, with subsequent sedimentation to separate aggregates, produces gram quantities of nanoparticles in a narrow distribution of particle sizes centered around 50 nm, and should be readily scalable to industrial scale production.
