Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a wide bandgap semiconductor with exceptional thermal conductivity, high electrical insulation, and piezoelectric properties. It is widely used in electronics, such as in high-power and high-frequency devices, as well as in optoelectronics for UV light emitters. Additionally, AlN is utilized in biomedical devices due to its biocompatibility.
Application
This review explores the significant properties of aluminum nitride in the context of semiconductor materials, discussing its large bandgap and wide transparency range, which are advantageous for ultraviolet to mid-infrared applications (Li et al., 2021).
Nanocomposites consisting of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and nano-aluminum nitride (AlN) were prepared using a simple vacuum-assisted filtration process. Bleached sugarcane bagasse pulp was treated with potassium hydroxide and sodium chlorite, and was subsequently ultra-finely ground and homogenized to obtain CNFs.

Single-walled aluminum nitride nanotubes (AlNNTs) are introduced as an electronic sensor for detection of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) molecules based on density functional theory calculations. The proposed sensor benefits from several advantages including high sensitivity: HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the AlNNT
