Mesoporous carbon nitride materials have been synthesized using SBA-15 by
pore filling technique whereas mesoporous boron nitride and boron carbon nitride have
been prepared by elemental substitution technique using mesoporous carbon as template.
The obtained materials have been unambiguously characterized by sophisticated
techniques such as XRD, HRTEM, EELS, XPS, FT-IR and N2 adsorption. The
textural parameters of the materials are quite higher as compared to the respective
nonporous nitrides. These materials could offer great potential for the applications, such
as catalytic supports, gas storage, biomolecule adsorption and drug delivery.
