Outline of Final Research Achievements

1. A new porous boron nitride material is synthesized via using boric acid as a cheap raw material and via the mechanisms of blowing and carbon - boron nitride phase separations. The porous boron nitride material has high specific surface area around 1400 square meter per gram.
2. The porous boron nitride materials are used as good supports in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, as high-capacity stable sorbents for water cleaning, and as highly efficient reservoirs for hydrogen absorption.
