Due to the unique electrical and mechanical properties of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), BNNT has been a promising material for many potential applications, especially in biomedical field. Understanding the dispersion of BNNT in aqueous solution by biomolecules is essential for its use in biomedical applications. In this study, BNNT wrapped by polynucleotides in aqueous solution was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our results demonstrated that the BNNT wrapped by polynucleotides could greatly hinder the aggregation of BNNTs and improve the dispersion of BNNTs in aqueous solution. Dispersion of BNNTs with the assistance of polynucleotides is greatly affected by the wrapping manner of polynucleotides on BNNT, which mainly depends on two factors: the type of polynucleotides and the radius of BNNT. The interaction between polynucleotides and BNNT(9, 9) is larger than that between polynucleotides and BNNT(5, 5), which leads to the fact that dispersion of BNNT(9, 9) is better than that of BNNT(5, 5) with the assistance of polynucleotides in aqueous solution. Our study revealed the molecular-level dispersion mechanism of BNNT with the assistance of polynucleotides in aqueous solution. It shades a light on the understanding of dispersion of single wall nanotubes by biomolecules.

“…[10] However,a lthough some attempts have been made towards BN/polymer hybrid membranes, [11] progress is generally very limited, and there are only afew reports of BN membranes for water and organic solvent separations. [13] Herein, we design aB Nm embrane with distinct nanoconfinement effect for the ethylene/ethane mixed gas separation. [12a] Until now,the utilization of BN membranes for gas separations has not been reported.…”

AB Nm embrane with ad istinct nanoconfinement effect toward efficient ethylene/ethane separation is presented. The horizontal and inclined self-assembly of 2D BN nanosheets endowt he BN membrane with abundant percolating nanochannels,a nd these nanochannels are further decorated by reactive ionic liquids (RILs) to tailor their sizes as well as to achieve nanoconfinement effect. The noncovalent interactions between RIL and BN nanosheets favor the ordered alignment of the cations and anions of RIL within BN nanochannels, which contributes to afast and selective ethylene transport. The resultant membranes exhibit an unprecedented separation performance with superhigh C 2 H 4 permeance of 138 GPU and C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 selectivity of 128 as well as remarkably improved long-term stability for 180 h, outperforming reported state-of-the-art membranes.

“…[12,13] With the rise of graphene, a large number of 2D materials have been successfully fabricated by various methods, including exfoliation and transfer method, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and physical vapor deposition method (PVD). Typical 2D layered materials include graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), [16,17,18] transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX, X = Cl, Br and I), [26] etc., with the electronic properties varied from semimetal to insulator. For 2D layered materials, the neighboring layers stack via weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions, [14,15] which allows to obtain their monolayer or few-layer nanosheets by exfoliating their bulk allotropes.…”
