• , simple treatments with hydrogen gas do not affect the bandgap width of the BNNSs. Keywords: boron nitride sheets; fringe patterns; functionalization; tunable bandgap width; Introduction The recent successful investigation of graphene has stimulated interest in atomically thin boron nitride sheets [1][2

• . Sun et al. [8] predicted an enhanced CO2 adsorption on 1e−- and 2e−-charged boron nitride sheets and nanotubes, which show very little chemical affinity towards CO2 in their neutral state. Also Sun et al. [18] showed that chemical interactions between boron–carbon nanotubes (B2CNT) and CO2 can be
