Abstract

Calcined silica SiO2 hollow spheres (SHS), with a specific surface area of 523 m2 g−1, were used as porous scaffolds of ammonia borane (AB). AB is used as precursor of boron nitride BN. By capillary effect, AB was infiltrated into the porosity of the SHS, and the as-obtained composite AB@SHS was pyrolyzed. Up to 160 °C, AB transforms into polyborazylene (PB); as a result, the composite PB@SHS was produced. Up to 600 °C, BN forms, and the composite BN@SHS was produced. Both composites are porous, with a specific surface area of 360 and 296 m2 g−1 respectively. Results from MAS NMR and XPS analyses showed that PB@SHS and BN@SHS contain B–O bonds, with more B–O bonds and possibly Si–O–B bonds for the latter. In other words, PB@SHS is made of PB, B–O bonds, and SiO2, while BN@SHS is made of BN, B–O bonds, possibly a Si–O–B interface, and SiO2. Based on first attempts, BN@SHS appeared to have a potential for improving the CO2 adsorption properties of the calcined SHS. Expressed in cm3(CO2) g−1, the CO2 uptakes are 6.7 for BN@SHS and 6.3 for the calcined SHS, at 30 °C under 1.5 bar CO2; but expressed in mm3(CO2) m−2, the respective CO2 uptakes are 22.6 and 12.
