Effective and selective removal of 99TcO4– from aqueous solution is highly desirable for both waste partitioning contamination remediation purposes in the modern nuclear fuel cycle, but significant challenge. We report here a hydrolytically stable radiation-resistant cationic metal–organic framework (MOF), SCU-101, exhibiting extremely fast kinetics, exceptional distribution coefficient, high sorption capacity toward TcO4–. More importantly, this material can selectively remove TcO4–...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on zirconium phosphonates exhibit superior chemical stability suitable for applications under harsh conditions. These compounds mostly exist as poorly crystallized precipitates, and precise structural information has therefore remained elusive. Furthermore, a zero-dimensional phosphonate cluster acting secondary building unit been lacking, leading to poor designability in this system. Herein, we overcome these challenges obtain single crystals of three...

Here, we demonstrate fabrication low-toxic degradable carbon dots (CDs) vitamin C by one-step electrochemical method....
Abstract Direct removal of 99 TcO 4 − from the highly acidic solution used nuclear fuel is beneficial for recovery uranium and plutonium more importantly aids in elimination Tc discharge into environment. However, this task represents a huge challenge given combined extreme conditions super acidity, high ionic strength, strong radiation field. Here we overcome using cationic polymeric network with significant uptake capabilities four aspects: fastest sorption kinetics, highest capacity, most...
99 Tc contamination at legacy nuclear sites is a serious and unsolved environmental issue. The selective remediation of TcO4- in the presence large excess NO3- SO42- from natural waste systems represents significant scientific technical challenge, since anions with higher charge density are often preferentially sorbed by traditional anion-exchange materials. We present solution to this challenge based on stable cationic metal-organic framework, SCU-102 (Ni2 (tipm)3 (NO3 )4 ), which exhibits...
99Tc is one of the most problematic fission products in nuclear fuel cycle owing to its large inventory used fuel, long half-life, potential radiation hazard, high environmental mobility major species 99TcO4-, and redox-active nature. Ideally, 99TcO4- should be removed at first stage, when rods are dissolved highly concentrated nitric acid solution, which can substantially reduce interference with solvent extraction process through catalytic redox reactions key actinides diminish chance...
Although comprehensive progress has been made in the area of coordination polymer (CP)/metal–organic framework (MOF)-based proton-conducting materials over past decade, searching for a CP/MOF with stable, intrinsic, high anhydrous proton conductivity that can be directly used as practical electrolyte an intermediate-temperature proton-exchange membrane fuel cell assembly durable power generation remains substantial challenge. Here, we introduce new CP, (NH4)3[Zr(H2/3PO4)3] (ZrP), which...
We report one of the most efficient scavenger materials, a cationic crystalline coordination polymer SBN for trapping ReO4–, surrogate 99TcO4–, as an anionic radioactive contaminant great concern. The uptake capacity ReO4– reaches 786 mg/g, value noticeably higher than state art anion-exchange resins and other inorganic or hybrid anion sorbents. Once being captured, is greatly immobilized, almost no can be eluted using large excess nitrate, carbonate, phosphate anions. processes are featured...
Removal of 99TcO4- from legacy defense nuclear tank waste at Savannah River Site is highly desirable for the purpose safety and environmental protection, but currently not achievable given extreme conditions including high alkalinity, ionic strength, strong radiation field.

Crystalline porous materials such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are advanced to tackle challenges of catalysis and separation in industrial processes. Their synthetic routes often require elevated temperatures, closed systems with high pressure, long reaction times, hampering their applications. Here we use a traditionally unperceived strategy assemble highly crystalline COFs by electron beam irradiation controlled received dosage, contrasting sharply the previous observation that...
Direct removal of 99TcO4– from alkaline nuclear waste is desirable because the management and environmental protection relevant to energy but yet be achieved given that combined features decent base-resistance high uptake selectivity toward anions with low charge density have not been integrated into a single anion-exchange material. Herein, we proposed strategy overcoming these challenges by rationally modifying imidazolium unit cationic polymeric network (SCU-CPN-4) bulky alkyl groups...
Luminescent covalent organic frameworks (LCOFs) have emerged as indispensable candidates in various applications due to their greater tunable emitting properties and structural robustness compared small molecule emitters.
