El objetivo de esta investigación es eliminar los cationes de metales pesados Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ del agua utilizando nanoclúster de nitruro de galio, Ga5N10 (GaN). El GaN se modeló en presencia de cationes de metales pesados ( Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+). Además, el análisis de resonancia magnética nuclear (NMR) indicó picos notables alrededor de elementos metálicos como Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, atrapados en el GaN durante la detección y eliminación de iones del agua. Con base en los resultados de esta investigación, la selectividad de la adsorción de iones metálicos por GaN (sensor de iones) es: Ni2+˃˃˃ Cu2+ ˃ Co2+˃ Mn2+ ˃ Cr3+ ˃˃ Zn2+. En este artículo, se propone que los cationes de metales pesados adsorbidos se pueden utilizar para decorar y ampliar las propiedades optoelectrónicas del GaN, lo que puede emplearse para producir dispositivos fotoeléctricos para el tratamiento de agua.
The objective of this research is to remove the heavy metal cations Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ from water using gallium nitride nanocluster, Ga5N10 (GaN). GaN was modeled in the presence of heavy metals cations (Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+). Furthermore, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis indicated the notable peaks surrounding metal elements of Cr3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ through the trapping in the GaN during ion detection and removal from water. Based on the results in this research, the selectivity of metal ion adsorption by GaN (ion sensor) has been approved as: Ni2+˃˃˃ Cu2+ ˃ Co2+˃ Mn2+ ˃ Cr3+ ˃˃ Zn2+.In this article, it is proposed that heavy metals cations–adsorbed can be used to decorate and enlarge the optoelectronic properties of GaN, which can be used to produce photoelectric devices towards water treatment.
