Abstract
Adsorption for recovery of low-concentration platinum (Pt) from the complex composition of acidic digestates was challenging because of slow kinetic and poor affinity. It was expected to be overcome by the improvement of pore size distribution and adsorption site activity. Herein, a series of Prussian blue etchings (PBE) with porosity-rich and activity-high cyano (CN) was synthesized to recover low-concentration Pt. The N2 isotherm results showed that the pore structure evolved from mesoporous to microporous. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations results revealed that the modulation of electronic structure converted FeII to FeIII in [FeII(CN)6]4-. The coexistence of micro- and meso-pore structures provided channels to accelerate adsorption and ensured PtII enrichment. The regulation of Fe valence state activated CN, which reinforced the strength of coordination interaction between Pt and Fe-CN- at N-atom. The adsorption rate and maximum capacity of PBE1 were 4.4 and 2.5 times higher than those of PB, respectively, due to the dual efficacy of accelerated kinetic and reinforced coordination. This study systematically analyzes the pivotal role of pore and electronic structure modulation in adsorption kinetic and affinity, which provides a novel strategy for PtII targeted recovery.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is widely used for the selective removal of radioactive cesium ions (Cs+) from aqueous solutions. Due to its small size and easy dispersion in water, PB requires a carrier that is both inexpensive and easily separable. Magnetic porous biochar (MPBC) was formed by activating starch with FeCl3 through a one-step calcination method. MPBC can be used as a carrier for Prussian blue, which is easily separated from the solution. This composite material (PB/MPBC) has a rich pore structure and maintains effective surface area, which can facilitate the penetration of Cs+ into the adsorbent. Besides, PB/MPBC exhibits high selectivity and good adsorption capacity achieving a large removal capacity of 101.43 mg/g. Thus, this study provides a novel approach for preparing composites with efficient removal of Cs+.

Abstract
Highly selective capture of cesium (Cs+) from complex aqueous solutions has become increasingly important owing to its (133Cs) indispensable role in some cutting-edge technologies and the environmental mobility of radioactive nuclide (137Cs) from nuclear wastewater. Herein, we report the development of cation-intercalated lamellar MoS2 as an effective Cs+ adsorbent with the advantages of facile synthesis and highly tunable layer spacing. Two types of cations, including Na+ and NH4+, were employed for the intercalations between adjacent layers of MoS2. The results demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of the NH4+-intercalated material (M-NH4+, 134 mg/g) for Cs+ clearly outperformed the others due to higher loading percentages of cations and larger layer spacing. The cesium partition coefficients for M-NH4+ in the presence of 100-fold competing ions all exceed 1 × 103 mL/g. A simulated complex aqueous solution containing 15.37 mg/L Cs+ and highly excess of competing ions Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ (20-306 times higher) was introduced to prove the practical application potential using our best-performing M-NH4+, showing a good to excellent partition ability of Cs+ among other cations, especially for Cs/K and Cs/Na with separation factors of 58 and 212, respectively. The adsorption and selectivity mechanisms were clearly elucidated using various advanced techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. These results revealed that the good selectivity for Cs+ can be ascribed to the differences in Lewis acidities, hydration energy, cation sizes, and in particular, the divergence of coordination modes which was successfully achieved after tuning the layer distance via the cation intercalation strategy. In addition, the material has fast kinetics (<30 min), wide range of pH tolerance (4-10), and good reusability. Overall, our studies point out that the tunable lamellar MoS2-based materials are promising adsorbents for Cs+ capture and separation.

Abstract
The treatment of combined antibiotics and heavy metals pollution is a critical challenge. Herein, iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar (Fe/N-BC) was synthesized using rape straw as precursor, and applied for the adsorption of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Cu2+ in single and binary systems. The qmax for CIP and Cu2+ were 46.45 mg g-1 and 30.77 mg g-1, respectively. Adsorption decreased in a binary matrix, indicating that there was a competitive effect between CIP and Cu2+, which might be due to CIP and Cu2+ sharing similar active adsorption sites on Fe/N-BC. Interestingly, CIP and Cu2+ co-adsorption was a pH-dependent process. Fe/N-BC has potential to highly selectively separate CIP/Cu2+ from mixed solutions through adjusting pH values. Furthermore, adsorption mechanisms were systematically investigated in this research. This research could help to provide a deeper understanding of the synchronously removing specific antibiotics and heavy metals by biochar adsorbents.

Abstract
The presence of cesium ions (Cs+) in radioactive wastewater has attracted considerable attention owing to their extreme toxic effects. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop adsorbents for Cs+ with high adsorption capacities (q). While phosphate-based adsorbents have advantages for their disposal, previous adsorbents have shown limited q because of their limited capacity for ion exchange, despite showing high theoretical q values. In this study, two dittmarite-type magnesium phosphates, KMgPO4·H2O (KMP) and NH4MgPO4·H2O (NMP), were synthesized because of their ability to contain readily exchangeable cations in their interlayers. KMP and NMP demonstrated remarkable adsorption capacities for Cs+ (qeKMP = 630 mg g-1 and qeNMP = 711 mg g-1), which were the highest among all reported adsorbents and are ∼84 % of their theoretical values. Their distribution coefficients in waters with high divalent ion concentrations were low, which limits their use for the adsorption of Cs+ from such environments. After adsorption, KMP and NMP were structurally transformed into struvite-type CsMgPO4·6H2O (CsMP), which has two different stacking structures, either cubic or hexagonal, depending on the pH of the solution. The high q values of KMP and NMP enable them to reduce the volume of radioactive waste for disposal.

Abstract
Water consumption has grown in recent years due to rising urbanization and industry. As a result, global water stocks are steadily depleting. As a result, it is critical to seek strategies for removing harmful elements from wastewater once it has been cleaned. In recent years, many studies have been conducted to develop new materials and innovative pathways for water purification and environmental remediation. Due to low energy consumption, low operating cost, and integrated facilities, membrane separation has gained significant attention as a potential technique for water treatment. In these directions, MXene which is the advanced 2D material has been explored and many applications were reported. However, research on MXene-based membranes is still in its early stages and reported applications are scatter. This review provides a broad overview of MXenes and their perspectives, including their synthesis, surface chemistry, interlayer tuning, membrane construction, and uses for water purification. Application of MXene based membrane for extracting pollutants such as heavy metals, organic contaminants, and radionuclides from the aqueous water bodies were briefly discussed. Furthermore, the performance of MXene-based separation membranes is compared to that of other nano-based membranes, and outcomes are very promising. In order to shed more light on the advancement of MXene-based membranes and their operational separation applications, significant advances in the fabrication of MXene-based membranes is also encapsulated. Finally, future prospects of MXene-based materials for diverse applications were discussed.

Abstract
The muscovite mica clay-graphene oxide-maghemite-magnetite (γ-Fe2O3-Fe3O4) composite was first used for the adsorption of caesium(I) and cobalt(II). The presence of clay minerals, graphene oxide, maghemite, and magnetite was detected in the prepared composite by XRD, WD-XRF, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and ATR-FTIR. The SEM and TEM results show that the composite has a layered structure with irregularly shaped pores on the surface. It was found that the adsorption of ions depends on the initial concentration, pH (except for caesium), mass of adsorbent, temperature, and contact time. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cs(I) and Co(II) was 2286 mg/g and 652 mg/g, respectively, and was obtained at concentrations (Cs(I) = 12,630 mg/L; Co(II) = 3200 mg/L), adsorbent mass of 0.01 g, pH (Cs(I) = 7; Co(II) = 5), temperature of 20 ± 1 °C, and contact time of 24 h. The high adsorption capacity of the composite could be due to a diversity of functional groups, a large number of active sites or the multilayer adsorption of caesium and cobalt ions on the surface of the composite. The Freundlich, Langmuir isotherms, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model better describe the adsorption of these ions on the composite. The adsorption was non-spontaneous endothermic for Cs(I) and spontaneous endothermic for Co(II). The proposed mechanism of adsorption of Cs and Co ions on the composite is complex and involves electrostatic interactions and ion exchange. The ANFIS model proved to be quite effective in predicting the adsorption of Cs(I) and Co(II), as shown by the obtained values of R2, MSE, SSE, and ARE.

Abstract
The Prussian blue (PB) blending membranes are promising candidates for the removal of trace radionuclide Cs+. Constructing a membrane with high flux and selectivity are challenging in its practical application. Here, a novel polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-PB-graphene oxide (GO) modified membrane was fabricated via phase inversion for trace radionuclide cesium (137Cs) removal from water. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze chemical composition and morphology of the membrane, and the properties in terms of water flux and Cs+ removal were studied under different PB dosage, pH and co-existing ions conditions. It was observed that the addition of GO improved the dispersion of PB, and the PVDF-PB-GO membrane presented the highest Cs+ removal efficiency (99.6 %) and water flux (1638.2 LMH/bar) at pH = 7 with 0.1 wt% GO and 5 wt% PB. In addition, Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetics models fitted well for Cs+ adsorption by the PVDF-PB-GO membrane, illustrating that the Cs+ was removed via chemical adsorption dominated by Fe(CN)64- defect sites of PB and the oxygen groups of GO. Furthermore, the membrane showed a significant selectivity and reusability towards trace radioactive cesium, even in the presence of excess co-existing ions and in real water, which strongly verified that the modified membrane had application potential.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) form crystals with large lattice voids that are suitable for the capture, transport and storage of various interstitial ions. Recently, we introduced the concept of a ladder mechanism to describe how sodium ions inside a PBA crystal structure diffuse by climbing the frames formed by aligned cyanide groups in the host structure. The current work uses semi-empirical tight-binding density functional theory (DFTB) in a multiscale approach to investigate how differences in the size of the monovalent cation affect the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the diffusion process. The results show that the ladder mechanism represents a unified framework, from which both similarities and differences between cation types can be understood. Fundamental Coulombic interactions make all positive cations avoid the open vacant areas in the structure, while cavities surrounded by partially negatively charged cyanide groups form diffusion bottlenecks and traps for larger cations. These results provide a new and quantitative way of understanding the suppression of cesium adsorption that has previously been reported for PBAs characterized by a low vacancy density. In conclusion, this work provides a unified picture of the cation adsorption in PBAs based on the newly formulated ladder mechanism.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are believed to be intriguing anode materials for Li+ storage because of their tunable composition, designable topologies, and tailorable porous structures, yet they suffer from severe capacity decay and inferior cycling stability due to the volume variation upon lithiation and high electrical resistance. Herein, we develop a universal strategy for synthesizing small PBA nanoparticles hosted on two-dimensional (2D) MXene or rGO (PBA/MX or PBA/rGO) via an in situ transformation from ultrathin layered double hydroxides (LDH) nanosheets. 2D conductive nanosheets allow for fast electron transport and guarantee the full utilization of PBA even at high rates; at the meantime, PBA nanoparticles effectively prevent 2D materials from restacking and facilitate rapid ion diffusion. The optimized Ni0.8Mn0.2-PBA/MX as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) delivers a capacity of 442 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and an excellent cycling robustness in comparison with bare PBA bulk crystals. We believe that this study offers an alternative choice for rationally designing PBA-based electrode materials for energy storage.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has accelerated and intensified because of the acceleration of industrialization, therefore fabricating excellent materials to remove hazardous pollutants has become inevitable. MXenes as emerging transition metal nitrides, carbides or carbonitrides with high conductivity, hydrophilicity, excellent structural stability, and versatile surface chemistry, become ideal candidates for water purification and environmental remediation. Particularly, MXenes reveal excellent sorption capability and efficient reduction performance for various contaminants of wastewater. In this regard, a comprehensive understanding of the removal behaviors of MXene-based nanomaterials is necessary to explain how they remove various pollutants in water. The eliminate process of MXene-based nanomaterials is collectively influenced by the physicochemical properties of the materials themselves and the chemical properties of different contaminants. Therefore, in this review paper, the synthesis strategies and properties of MXene-based nanomaterials are briefly introduced. Then, the chemical properties, removal behaviors and interaction mechanisms of heavy metal ions, radionuclides, and organic pollutants by MXene-based nanomaterials are highlighted. The overview also emphasizes associated toxicity, secondary contamination, the challenges, and prospects of the MXene-based nanomaterials in the applications of water treatment. This review can supply valuable ideas for fabricating versatile MXene nanomaterials in eliminating water pollution.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is a global problem that endangers human health and ecological balance. As a new type of functional material, two-dimensional material (2DM)-based aerogel is one of the most promising candidates for pollutant detection and environmental remediation. The porous, network-like, interconnected three-dimensional (3D) structure of 2DM-based aerogels can not only preserve the characteristics of the original 2DMs, but also bring many distinct physical and chemical properties to offer abundant active sites for adsorbing and combining pollutants, thereby facilitating highly efficient monitoring and treatment of hazardous pollutants. In this review, the synthesis methods of 2DM aerogels and their broad environmental applications, including various sensors, adsorbents, and photocatalysts for the detection and treatment of pollutants, are summarized and discussed. In addition, the sustainability of 2DM aerogels compared to other water purification materials, such as activated carbon, 2DMs, and other aerogels are analyzed by the Sustainability Footprint method. According to the characteristics of different 2DMs, special focuses and perspectives are given on the adsorption properties of graphene, MXene, and boron nitride aerogels, as well as the sensing and photocatalytic properties of transition metal dichalcogenide/oxide and carbon nitride aerogels. This comprehensive work introduces the synthesis, modification, and functional tailoring strategies of different 2DM aerogels, as well as their unique characteristics of adsorption, photocatalysis, and recovery, which will be useful for the readers in various fields of materials science, nanotechnology, environmental science, bioanalysis, and others.

Abstract
The phosphate group functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the adsorbent for removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution still suffer from low adsorption efficiency, due to the low grafting rate of groups into the skeleton structure. Herein, a novel phosphate group functionalized metal-organic framework nanoparticles (denoted as Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-TPP NPs) designed and prepared by the chelation between Zr and phytic acid, showing fast adsorption rate and outstanding selectivity in aqueous media including 10 coexisting ions. The Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-TPP was properly characterized by TEM, FT-IR, BET, VSM and Zeta potential measurement. The removal performance of Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-TPP for U(VI) was investigated systematically using batch experiments under different conditions, including solution pH, incubation time, temperature and initial U(VI) concentration. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm, selectivity studies revealed that Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-TPP NPs possess fast adsorption rates (approximately 15 min to reach equilibrium), high adsorption capacities (307.8 mg/g) and outstanding selectivity (Su = 94.4%) towards U(VI), which in terms of performance are much better than most of the other magnetic adsorbents. Furthermore, the adsorbent could be reused for U(VI) removal without obvious loss of adsorption capacity after five consecutive cycles. The research work provides a novel strategy to assemble phosphate group-functionalized MOFs.

Abstract
The radioactive Rb+, Cs+ and Sr2+ have serious threat for the aquatic life and human health, its removal has been granted increasing concern. Hence the adsorbent with excellent adsorption performance and favourable reusability is strongly demanded. This work prepared a novel porous polymer of chitosan-g-polyacrylamide (CTS-g-PAM) by grafting the acrylamide (AM) onto the chitosan (CTS) with sufficient pore structure via an eco-friendly surfactant-free (corn oil)-in-water Pickering medium internal phase emulsion (O/W Pickering MIPE), solely stabilized by CTS. Interestingly, its pore structure could be tuned by varying the emulsion character via changing the molecular weight and concentration of CTS, as well as the pH values. Due to the abundant -COO- and -NH2 functional groups in the porous material of CTS-g-PAM, the high adsorption capacities of 195.43, 237.44 and 185.63 mg/g for Rb+, Cs+ and Sr2+ could be reached within 40, 30 and 20 min, respectively. Moreover, the CTS-g-PAM had excellent regeneration ability and reusability. Herein, we provided a feasible and low-cost pathway for preparation of the porous adsorbent with tunable porous structure for adsorption and separation application.

Abstract
Ca-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles encapsulated in humic acid (HA-Ca/Fe3O4) were produced using a co-precipitation method. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of HA-Ca/Fe3O4 as well as the effect of coexisting ions and mechanisms were evaluated. A good description of the adsorption process was given using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. The adsorption capacities of HA-Ca/Fe3O4 for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ were 208.33, 98.33, and 99.01 mg g-1, respectively. The 0.02-0.1 times concentrations in alkali and alkaline-earth metals promoted Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption; however, any concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals inhibited Cu2+-ion adsorption, probably owing to the differences in ionic radii between the interfering and heavy-metal ions. Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ removal using HA-Ca/Fe3O4 occurred via ion exchange, complexation of O-containing functional groups, mineral precipitation, and π-electron coordination. A method was proposed to calculate the contribution of these mechanisms to the adsorption process. In practice, HA-Ca/Fe3O4 can remove 99% Pb2+ and 91% Cu2+ and Cd2+ from real wastewater samples. Following five adsorption-desorption cycles, HA-Ca/Fe3O4 adsorption capacity did not change significantly. The aforementioned results indicated that HA-Ca/Fe3O4 presented a good potential in removing heavy metals in wastewater.

Abstract
A new water treatment technology is presented for extending the longevity and increasing the maximal bio-load of container-bound, lucrative live seafood transportations. The technology is designed for removing ammonia and minimizing the bacterial concentration that develop in the water during the transport. This paper focuses on the characteristics of self-synthesized polyether-sulfone (PES) coated Zn-HCF composite beads, which have a high adsorbing capacity for NH4+ in seawater and constitute the heart of the developed technology. Adsorption isotherms show that the operational capacity of the composite material (PES = 20% w/w) at NH4+ concentration of 10 mgN/L at 3.5 °C is ∼3 mgN/g Zn-HCF. The kinetics of the PES-coated beads were shown to be considerably slower than the bare Zn-HCF, but since the retention time in the transport is long (many days), this does not detract from the effectiveness of the adsorption. Simulation experiments with and without live fish showed that the adsorbing material behaved as expected during a 21-d trip and that it did not have any effect on the fish. Repeated adsorption/regeneration (3 and 6 M NaCl) tests proved the composite material's stability and ion-exchange robustness. Electrooxidation of the ammonia in the exhausted regeneration solution was carried out with high efficiency and the treated solution could be used effectively in the following chemical regeneration step. The cost of a treatment unit installed in a 40-foot container was estimated at $40,000 and the ROI at 6 to 12 months.
