The invention relates to three-dimensional
boron nitride foam and a preparation method of the three-dimensional
boron nitride foam. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: heating a
borane ammonia complex serving as a
solid-state source in an independent container to reach a specific temperature in order to decompose the
solid-state source into a gas-state source through the
chemical vapor deposition process; dispersing to the surface of a
metal bubble template;
cracking and depositing to form a three-dimensional
boron nitride film
network structure; cooling the three-dimensional
boron nitride film
network structure; continuously dispensing a high-molecular
polymer layer; removing the
metal template through a corrosive liquid; and removing the high-molecular
polymer layer at a high temperature, thus obtaining three-dimensional
boron nitride foam. The method is simple and convenient in operation, low in requirement on equipment and high in yield; the prepared
boron nitride foam is in form of a net shaped structure in which hollow
hexagonal boron nitride thin-wall tubes are interconnected; and the prepared boron nitride foam has outstanding characteristics of
low density, high
thermal stability, elastic
recovery after compressing, low Young modulus and the like, therefore, the foundation is provided for the boron nitride foam to be applied in the fields of high-temperature environment, catalyst carriers,
mechanics sensing, insulation and the like.
