Large quantities of highly toxic organic dyes in industrial wastewater is a persistent challenge in wastewater treatment processes. Here, for highly efficient wastewater treatment, a novel membrane based on bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) loaded with graphene oxide (GO) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles is demonstrated. This Pd/GO/BNC membrane is realized through the in situ incorporation of GO flakes into BNC matrix during its growth followed by the in situ formation of palladium nanoparticles. The Pd/GO/BNC membrane exhibits highly efficient methylene orange (MO) degradation during filtration (up to 99.3% over a wide range of MO concentrations, pH, and multiple cycles of reuse). Multiple contaminants (a cocktail of 4‐nitrophenol, methylene blue, and rhodamine 6G) can also be effectively treated by Pd/GO/BNC membrane simultaneously during filtration. Furthermore, the Pd/GO/BNC membrane …
