Effective Removal of Sulfonamides Using Recyclable MXene-Decorated Bismuth Ferrite Nanocomposites Prepared via Hydrothermal Method.

ABSTRACT: Developing a simple and efficient method for removing organic micropollutants from aqueous systems is crucial. The present study describes the preparation and application, for the first time, of novel MXene-decorated bismuth ferrite nanocomposites (BiFeO₃/MXene) for the removal of six sulfonamides including sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamerazine (SMZ), sulfamethazine (SMTZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMXZ) and sulfisoxazole (SXZ). The properties of BiFeO₃/MXene are enhanced by the presence of BiFeO₃ nanoparticles, which provide a large surface area to facilitate the removal of sulfonamides. More importantly, BiFeO₃/MXene composites demonstrated remarkable sulfonamide adsorption capabilities compared to pristine MXene, which is due to the
