Porous Nanosheets

本研究旨在利用多孔氮化硼(B(C)N)纳米薄片开发新型高效吸波材料，该纳米薄片是由几个原子层组成的新型二维(2D)纳米材料。多孔B(C)N纳米片具有较大的比表面积和较强的选择性吸附性能。此外，由于热稳定性高，它们可以多次再生和重复使用。该项目旨在合成这些具有可控纳米孔结构的纳米片。将对去除水和空气中污染物的申请进行评估。这些成果有望促进我们对2D纳米材料的了解，创造清理漏油和受污染水的新技术，并为环境保护提供好处。

This research aims to develop novel efficient absorbent materials from porous boron (carbon) nitride (B(C)N) nanosheets, which are new two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials consisting of a few atomic layers. The porous B(C)N nanosheets have a large surface area and a strong selective adsorption property. In addition, they can be regenerated and re-used for many times due to high thermal stability. This project aims to synthesise these nanosheets with controlled nanoporous structures. Applications for removing pollutants from water and air will be evaluated. The outcomes are expected to advance our knowledge in 2D nanomaterials, create new technologies for cleaning-up of oil spillage and contaminated water, and provide benefits for environmental protection.
