Issue 18/2015 - Ultra-adsorbed ultra-light nanomaterials are introduced

A few days ago, the Key Laboratory of New Ceramic Fibers and Their Composite Materials of the School of Aerospace Science and Engineering of the National University of Defense Science and Technology successfully developed a new ultra-light nanomaterial
with super adsorption capacity.

According to reports, this material is structurally composed of one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes and two-dimensional boron nitride nanowafers, the density is only half of air, 1/1600 of water, and the entire material is filled with pores
.
Studies have shown that it can selectively adsorb organic matter
with more than 160 times its own weight.
This material is resistant to high temperature, and at a high temperature of 2000 °C, it can also maintain the integrity of the structure and normal use
.
After adsorbing organic matter with it, it can be reused by ignition, and has important application prospects
in the fields of aerospace high-temperature thermal protection, toxic chemical adsorption and removal.
