Advanced porous borocarbonitride nanoarchitectonics: Their structural designs and applications

A review of boron nitride-based photocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction

“…However, this synthetic material was not produced on an industrial scale for close to a century aer its rst synthesis by Balmain in 1842. [101][102][103][104] BN nanomaterials have been the subject of growing studies and found various applications in the energy, health, and environmental sectors (photocatalysis, degradation of pollutants, drug delivery, and sensors). It results from their unique physicochemical properties, including semiconducting features with a wide band gap (5-6 eV), high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and appropriate chemical stability and oxidation resistance.…”

Boron carbon nitride (BCN): an emerging two-dimensional nanomaterial for supercapacitors

“…A large pore diameter helps in reducing the diffusion length of largely-sized solvated electrolyte ions, which provides rapid access to electrochemically active sites. 70 Due to the higher electronic conductivity of this new generation 2D material, it is highly promising for electrode applications in supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries. The presence of N and B co-doping present in BCN facilitates pseudocapacitive characteristics, thereby promoting higher electrochemical performance when used in supercapacitors.…”

Enhanced Boron Modified Graphitic Carbon Nitride for the Selective Photocatalytic Production of Benzaldehyde

“…Boron is an interesting alternative to modify the g-C 3 N 4 structure due to the similar chemical properties of boron, carbon, and nitrogen which have raised the attention for a large range of applications owing to their outstanding features [32]. Boron can be exchanged by either carbon or nitrogen positions [33], leading to very interesting photoelectronic properties and defects in the structure.…”
