Abstract: Emerging nanotechnology in the early 1990s introduced nanoscaled and advanced materials
such as Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) with specific chemical structure and exceptional unique properties.
Generally, among the various nanostructures particularly, nanotubes have shown their specific values
due to their inherent characteristics. With the time being, new vistas were opened for developing other
nanotube-based materials due to their remarked mechanical strength and versatile applications. In recent
decades, BNNTs with promising applicability have been synthesized via several methods. This review
highlights the synthetic strategies of Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) with their potential applications
in various applied sectors including energy, electronics and biomedical applications.
