AB - Porous boron nitride (BN) is structurally analogous to activated carbon. This materialis gaining increasing attention for its potential in a range of adsorption and chemicalseparation applications, with a number of recent proof-of-concept studies on the removalof organics from water. Today though, the properties of porous BN—i.e., surface area,pore network, chemistry—that dictate adsorption of specific organics remain vastlyunknown. Yet, they will need to be optimized to realize the full potential of the materialin the envisioned applications. Here, a selection of porous BN materials with varied porestructures and chemistries were studied for the adsorption of different organic molecules,either directly, through vapor sorption analyses or as part of a water/organic mixture in theliquid phase. These separations are relevant to the industrial and environmental sectorsand are envisioned to take advantage of the hydrophobic character of the BN sheets.The materials were tested and regenerated and their physical and chemical featureswere characterized before and after testing. This study allowed identifying the adsorptionmechanisms, assessing the performance of porous BN compared to benchmarks in thefield and outlining ways to improve the adsorption performance further.
