Key Points

This research aims to investigate the use of boron nitride nanocages for the removal of transition metals from contaminated soils.
Utilized quantum DFT modeling to study electromagnetic and thermodynamic properties of transition metals captured by boron nitride (BN) nanocages.
Conducted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis to detect and analyze heavy metal entrapment in BN during soil remediation.
Boron nitride showed high adsorption capacity for Cd, Zn, Fe, and Cr, with decreasing efficiency for Mn and W.
NMR analysis revealed distinctive peaks for each transition metal, indicating successful trapping and detection in BN, although some chemical shielding variations were noted.

Explores the effectiveness of boron nitride nanocages for removing heavy metals from soil, suggesting potential for environmental applications.
