18. Here we emphasize that, to successfully obtain the C-doped BNNTs, it is critical to control the thermal degradation behavior of PTAS on the BNNT surfaces by applying a well-controlled slow heating rate such as 1-2°C/min. See Supporting Information for details.

23. Keeping in mind the coaxial core-shell geometry of B-C-N/BN nanotubes, transport measurements only probed the outermost B-C-N shells which are actually in contact with the metal leads.
