Boron Nitride Nanosheets Functionalized with Fe₃O₄ and CoFe₂O₄ Magnetic Nanoparticles for Nanofiltration Applications.

ABSTRACT: Nanofiltration (NF) is one of the emerging technologies that is very promising for water purification among many other applications. 2D boron nitride (BN) based nanomaterials are excellent building blocks for NF membranes. In our work, BN nanosheets (BNNS) have been functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form BNNS-MNP nanocomposites. It was found that the nanocomposites are stable with the MNPs giving very good coverage with both magnetite and cobalt ferrite MNPs and showing good attachment and stability to sonication. These nanocomposites have been tested for removal of methylene blue (MB) dye and MNPs from water. BNNS-magnetite nanocomposites showed higher removal efficiency of the MB from water than the corresponding pure BNNS, while the BNNS-cobalt ferrite removal efficie
