Abstract

Few-layered porous boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) have been prepared using a dynamic magnesium diboride (MgB2) template and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) etchant. Magnesium-based intermediates serve as layer separators in the synthesis and prevent extensive aggregation, resulting in few-layered BNNS. The resultant BNNS are hierarchically porous and show good CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity.
