Abstract
The effective capture and recovery of radioiodine species associated with nuclear fuel reprocessing is of significant importance in nuclear power plants. Porous materials have been proven to be one of the most effective adsorbents for the capture of radioiodine. In this work, we design and synthesize a series of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), namely, TPDA-TFPB CMP, TPDA-TATBA CMP, and TPDA-TECHO CMP, which are constructed based on a planar rectangular 4-connected organic monomer and three triangular 3-connected organic monomers, respectively. The resultant CMPs are characterized using various characterization techniques and used as effective adsorbents for iodine capture. Our experiments indicated that the CMPs exhibit excellent iodine adsorption capacities as high as 6.48, 6.25, and 6.37 g g-1 at 348 K and ambient pressure. The adsorption mechanism was further investigated and the strong chemical adsorption between the iodine and the imine/tertiary ammonia of the CMPs, 3D network structure with accessible hierarchical pores, uniform micromorphology, wide π-conjugated structure, and high-density Lewis-base sites synergistically contribute to their excellent iodine adsorption performance. Moreover, the CMPs demonstrated good recyclability. This work provides guidance for the construction of novel iodine adsorbent materials with high efficiency in the nuclear power field.

Abstract
Engineering porous organic polymers (POPs) into 1D morphology holds significant promise for diverse applications due to their exceptional processability and increased surface contact for enhanced interactions with guest molecules. This article reviews the latest developments in nanofibrous POPs and their derivatives, encompassing porous organic polymer nanofibers, their composites, and POPs-derived carbon nanofibers. The review delves into the design and fabrication strategies, elucidates the formation mechanisms, explores their functional attributes, and highlights promising applications. The first section systematically outlines two primary fabrication approaches of nanofibrous POPs, i.e., direct bulk synthesis and electrospinning technology. Both routes are discussed and compared in terms of template utilization and post-treatments. Next, performance of nanofibrous POPs and their derivatives are reviewed for applications including water treatment, water/oil separation, gas adsorption, energy storage, heterogeneous catalysis, microwave absorption, and biomedical systems. Finally, highlighting existent challenges and offering future prospects of nanofibrous POPs and their derivatives are concluded.

Abstract
The uses and production of radionuclides in nuclear energy production and medical therapy are becoming more significant in today's world. While these applications have many benefits, they can produce harmful pollutants, such as radioactive iodine, that need to be sequestered. Effective capture and storage of radioactive iodine waste remains a major challenge for nuclear energy generation and nuclear medicine. Here we report the highly efficient capture of iodine in a series of mesoporous, two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks, called COFamides, which contain amide sidechains in their pores. COFamides are capable of rapidly removing iodine from aqueous solution at concentrations as low as 50 ppm, with total capacities greater than 650 wt%. In order to explain the high affinity of the COFamide series for iodine and iodide species in water, we performed a computational analysis of the interactions between the COFamide framework and iodine guests. These studies suggest that the origin of the large iodine capacity in these materials can be explained by the presence of multiple, cooperative, non-covalent interactions between the framework and both iodine, and iodide species.

Abstract
Radioiodine capture and immobilization is not only important to consider during the operation of reactors (i.e., I-131), during nuclear accidents (i.e., I-131 and I-129) or nuclear fuel reprocessing (i.e., I-131 and I-129), but also during disposal of nuclear wastes (i.e., I-129). Most disposal plans for I-129-containing waste forms (including spent nuclear fuel) propose to store them in underground repositories. Here, iodine can be highly mobile and, given its radiotoxicity, needs to be carefully managed to minimize long-term environmental impacts arising from disposal. Typically, any process that has been used to capture iodine from reprocessing or in a reactor is not suitable for direct disposal, rather conversion into a wasteform for disposal is required. The objectives of these materials are to use either chemical immobilization or physical encapsulation to reduce the leaching of iodine by groundwaters. Some of the more recent ideas have been to design capture materials that better align with disposal concepts, making the industrial processing requirements easier. Research on iodine capture materials and wasteforms has been extensive. This review will act as both an update on the state of the research since the last time it was comprehensively summarized, and an evaluation of the industrial techniques required to create the proposed iodine wasteforms in terms of resulting material chemistry and applicability.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COF) with periodic porous structures and tunable functionalities are a new class of crystalline polymers connected via strong covalent bonds. Constructing COF materials with high stability and porosity is attracting and essential for COFs' further functional exploration. In this work, two new covalent organic frameworks (TTA-TMTA-COF and TTA-FMTA-COF) with high surface area, large pore volume, and excellent chemical stability toward harsh conditions are designed and synthesized by integrating the methoxy functional groups into the networks. Both two COFs are further employed for iodine removal since radioactive iodine in nuclear waste has seriously threatened the natural environment and human health. TTA-TMTA-COF and TTA-FMTA-COF can capture 3.21 and 5.07 g g-1 iodine, respectively. Notably, the iodine capture capacity for iodine of TTA-FMTA-COF does not show any decline after being recycled five times. These results demonstrate both COFs possess ultrahigh capacity and excellent recyclability.

Abstract
New hyper-cross-linked porous organic polymers (POPs) with a high content of pyridine segments (7.86 mmol pyridine g-1 ), and a micro/mesoporous texture are reported. The networks are achieved by the chain-growth homopolymerization of 2,6- and 3,5-diethynylpyridines. The pyridine segments form links interconnecting the polyacetylene main chains in these networks. The content of pyridine segments in the networks can be tuned by copolymerizing diethynylpyridines with 1,3-diethynylbenzene. The pyridine rings in the networks serve as base and hydrophilic centers for the sorption of CO2 and water. The homopolymer pyridine networks are highly efficient in the low-pressure adsorption/desorption of CO2 . This sorption mode is promising for the postcombustion removal of CO2 from the fuel gas. The poly(3,5-diethynylpyridine) network exhibits high efficiency in capturing and releasing water vapor (determined capacity 376 mg g-1 at 298 K and relative humidity (RH) = 90% is one of the highest values reported for POPs) and is a promising material for the cyclic water harvesting from air. The reported networks are characterized by 13 C cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption/desorption and their efficiency in CO2 and H2 O capturing is discussed in relation to the content and type of incorporated pyridine segments.
