Boron nitrides (BNs) are a class of materials with unique properties that exhibit promise for applications in CO2 capture. However, the surface electron-deficiency of BNs makes their interaction with Lewis acidic CO2 very weak. By utilizing the strong interaction between electron-deficient boron atoms and electron-donating amine groups, BN nanosheets were functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI) which is rich in amine density, through simple impregnation to improve their performance for CO2 capture. The important roles of the boron-amine interaction in the incorporation, distribution and stabilization of PEI, as well as the facilitation of CO2 adsorption and desorption were both experimentally and theoretically investigated. It is demonstrated that after functionalization with PEI, the capacity of pure CO2 on BN nanosheets was significantly improved (3.12 mmol g(-1) for BN functionalized with 54.9 wt% of PEI vs. 0.29 mmol g(-1) for pristine BN at 75 degrees C). Furthermore, the adsorbed CO2 can be facilely released through N-2 purge at 75 degrees C, and the PEI-functionalized BN nanosheets exhibit high stability throughout consecutive cycles.
