Current work reports the excellent antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles ((10)BNNPs) synthesized with enriched-Boron (B-10) in a horizontal dual-zone quartz tube furnace. The antibacterial activities of the as-synthesized (10)BNNPs are tested by using the well-diffusion technique. According to the antibacterial results, it has been found that B-10-NPs are highly responsive to K. pneumoniae and least responsive to P. aeruginosa bacterial strains. The antioxidant activity of (10)BNNPs is analyzed by scavenging free radicals of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) with time interval and variation in concentration of (BN)-B-10-NPs. The activity of DPPH scavenging of (10)BNNPs is observed by UV and visible light Spectrophotometer. The results show that the antioxidant potential of (10)BNNPs is up to 79.5%. In addition, the B-10-contents with a semiconductor nature, the synthesized (10)BNNPs offer a great potential to be used in Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for tumor cells destruction and as a sensing element in a solid-state neutron detector.
