Novel monolith-type boron nitride hierarchical foams obtained through integrative chemistry
Abstract
A novel class of monolith-type boron nitride hierarchical foams has been prepared through an integrative chemistry-based synthetic path. These materials contain interconnected pores in the nanometre to the micrometre range with high porosity (∼75 vol%), a specific surface area up to 300 m2 g−1 and a resistance toward mechanical stress making them suitable for innovative applications.
