Abstract

Abstract : BN membrane with high density of through cylindrical pores is fabricated by combination of ALD and PDC routes. With good quality h-BN walls obtained at 1000 °C, the obtained membrane is a promising candidate for osmotic energy conversion and water filtration applications. Abstract : A high quality BN membrane with millions of through cylindrical pores is simply fabricated using a double inversion approach combining atomic layer deposition and polymer-derived ceramic route. Well crystallized hexagonal boron nitride walls are obtained at relatively low temperature (1000 °C). This new membrane is a promising candidate for osmotic energy conversion and water filtration applications.
