AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for producing lithium-containing neutron generating targets are time-consuming and energy-intensive, and they struggle to achieve a clean, well-bonded lithium layer of the desired thickness on a substrate.
Method used
A method involving the application of a mechanical force to a thin solid lithium film or foil deposited on a substrate, optionally with an intermediate layer to promote adhesion, allowing for the efficient creation of a lithium layer bonded to the substrate.
Benefits of technology
This method enables the rapid, efficient, and cost-effective production of neutron generating targets with a clean, well-bonded lithium layer, suitable for applications in boron neutron capture therapy and other fields.

Abstract
Neutron generating targets, for example for use in boron neutron capture therapy ("BNCT"), and methods for manufacturing the neutron generating targets. This specification describes lithium-containing neutron generating targets useful for generating neutron beams for bombarding boron-containing compounds in boron neutron capture therapy of cancer. One method involves pressing a lithium foil against a substrate with sufficient force such that the lithium deforms during the pressing operation and adheres to the substrate, thereby forming a thin lithium layer on the surface of the substrate.
