For this purpose, ammonia borane (AB) and polystyrene latex/cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were used as BN precursor and inorganic templates, respectively. The as-synthesized material was pyrolyzed at 1150 °C in ammonia atmosphere resulting in the formation of white BN powder. The typical N2 sorption analysis demonstrated formation of porous BN with presence of macro/meso and micropores. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations revealed the existence of rather uniform macropores with 55-60 nm in diameter, as well as wormlike mesopores and micropores extended between macropores walls. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) analyses displayed the formation of turbostratic-BN with atomic layer distance of 0.37 nm. HPBN powders showed fast adsorption rate of methylene blue (MB) solution and high adsorption capacity of 263.1 mg g-1 for MB at room temperature. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. date: 2015 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84921830424&doi=10.1016%2fj.ceramint.2014.11.056&partnerID=40&md5=f5358d5de8f96ce553cc64e779c0df95 id_number: 10.1016/j.ceramint.2014.11.056 full_text_status: none publication: Ceramics International volume: 41 number: 3 pagerange: 3806-3813 refereed: TRUE issn: 02728842 citation: Maleki, M. and Beitollahi, A. and Javadpour, J. and Yahya, N.
