Zusammenfassung:The charging and aggregation properties of boron nitride nanospheres (BNNSs) were investigated in the presence of electrolytes of different compositions and valences in aqueous suspensions. The influence of mono- and multivalent cations (counterions) and anions (coions) on the colloidal stability of the negatively charged particles was studied over a wide range of salt concentrations. For monovalent ions, similar trends were determined in the stability and charging of the particles irrespective of the salt composition, i.e., no ion-specific effects were observed. Once multivalent counterions were involved, the critical coagulation concentrations (CCCs) decreased with the valence in line with the direct Schulze-Hardy rule. The dependence indicated an intermediate charge density for BNNSs. The influence of the coions on the CCCs was weaker and the destabilization ability followed the inverse Schulze-Hardy rule. The predominant interparticle forces were identified as electrical double-layer repulsion and van der Waals attraction. These findings offer useful information to design stable BNNS dispersions in various applications, where mono- and multivalent electrolytes or their mixtures are present in the samples
