Abstract
On the global level, uranium is considered the main nuclear energy source, and its removal from terrestrial ores is enough to last until the end of the current century. Therefore, a major focus is attracted toward the capture of uranium from a sustainable source (seawater). Uranium recovery from seawater has been reported over the last few decades, and recently many efforts have been devoted to the preparation of such adsorbents with higher selectivity and adsorption capacity. The purpose of this review is to report the advancement in adsorbent preparation and modification of porous materials. It also discusses challenges such as adsorbent selectivity, low uranium concentration in seawater, contact time, biofouling, and the solution to the problems necessary to ensure a better adsorption performance of the adsorbent.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater (UES), a potential approach to securing the long-term uranium supply and sustainability of nuclear energy, has experienced significant progress in the past decade. Promising adsorbents with record-high capacities have been developed by diverse innovative synthetic strategies, and scale-up marine field tests have been put forward by several countries. However, significant challenges remain in terms of the adsorbents' properties in complex marine environments, deployment methods, and the economic viability of current UES systems. This review presents an up-to-date overview of the latest advancements in the UES field, highlighting new insights into the mechanistic basis of UES and the methodologies towards the function-oriented development of uranium adsorbents with high adsorption capacity, selectivity, biofouling resistance, and durability. A distinctive emphasis is placed on emerging electrochemical and photochemical strategies that have been employed to develop efficient UES systems. The most recent achievements in marine tests by the major countries are summarized. Challenges and perspectives related to the fundamental, technical, and engineering aspects of UES are discussed. This review is envisaged to inspire innovative ideas and bring technical solutions towards the development of technically and economically viable UES systems.

Abstract
Continuous filtering adsorption has drawn growing interest in the exploration of uranium resources in seawater and reduction in the environmental risks of uraniferous wastewater from nuclear industries. For most filtering adsorbents, repeated filtration, high membrane thickness, and high pressure are normally essential to achieve both a high rejection ratio and high filtration flux. Herein cellulose fibrils were preferentially exfoliated from the lignin-poor layer of secondary cell walls of balsa wood during an in situ amidoximation process. By maintaining honeycomb-like cellular microstructures and cellulose aerogel stuffing in their cell tracheids, the resultant nanowoods showed superior mechanical properties (e.g., compressive strength ∼1.3 MPa in transverse direction) with large surface areas (∼80 m2 g-1). When their cell tracheids were aligned perpendicular to the flow and the edges sealed with a thermoset polymer, they could serve as efficient and high-pressure filtration membranes to capture aquatic uranium ions. In analogy to a typical cascading filtration system, the filtrate passed successively the layered-organized cell tracheids through abundant micropores on their cell walls, enabling a high rejection ratio of >99% and flux of ∼920 L m-2 h-1 under pressure up to 6 bar (membrane thickness of 2 mm). Thus, this study not only provides an in situ approach to producing robust woods with functional nanocellulose encapsulated into their cell tracheids but also offers a sustainable route for high-efficiency extraction of aqueous uranium.

Abstract
Ultrathin fibers can increase the contact area between adsorbents and seawater during the uranium extraction process; however, their construction usually aggravates the complex spinning technology and lowers their mechanical strength. Meanwhile, high strength and antifouling ability are essential for ocean adsorbents to withstand the complex natural environment and microbial systems. Herein, we design high-strength and anti-biofouling poly(amidoxime) nanofiber membranes (HA-PAO NFMs) via a supramolecular crosslinking. Bacterial cellulose supplies the NFMs with ultrathin fiber structure, and large amounts of adsorption ligands are immobilized on the framework via the crosslinking with antibacterial ions. Thus, different from other fibers, HA-PAO NFMs achieve ultrathin diameter (20-30 nm), high BET area (51 m2 g-1), and excellent mechanical strength (13.6 MPa). The uranium adsorption capacity reaches to 409 mg-U/g-Ads in the simulated seawater, 99.2% uranium can be removed from the U-contained wastewater, and the adsorption process can be observed by the naked eye due to the significant color changes. The inhibition zones indicate their excellent anti-biofouling ability, which contributes to 1.83 times more uranium extraction amount from natural seawater than the non-antifouling adsorbents. Furthermore, they display a long service life and can be large-scale prepared, and the HA-PAO NFMs have potential in the massive uranium recovery.

Abstract
Efficient separation of neptunium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel is essential for advanced nuclear fuel cycles. At present, the development of effective actinide separation ligands has become a top priority. As common adsorbents for extracting uranium from seawater, amidoxime-based adsorbents may also be able to separate actinides from high-level liquid waste (HLLW). In this work, the complexation of Np(IV,V,VI) and Pu(IV) and alkyl chains (R = C13H26) modified with amidoximate (AO-) and carboxyl (Ac-) functional groups was systematically studied by quantum chemical calculations. For all the studied complexing species, the RAc- and RAO- ligands act as monodentate or bidentate ligands. Complexes with AO- groups show higher covalency of the metal-ligand bonding than the analogues with Ac- groups, in line with the binding energy analysis. Bonding analysis verifies that these amidoxime/carboxyl-based adsorbents possess higher coordination affinity toward Pu(IV) than toward Np(IV), and the Np(VI) complexes have stronger covalent interactions than Np(V). According to thermodynamic analysis, these adsorbents have the ability to separate Np(IV,V,VI) and Pu(IV), and also exhibit potential performance for partitioning Pu(IV) from Np(IV) under acidic conditions. This work can help to deeply understand the interaction between transuranium elements and amidoxime-based adsorbents, and provide a theoretical basis for the separation of actinides with amidoxime-based adsorbents.

Abstract
The uranium reserve in seawater is enormous, but its concentration is extremely low and plenty of interfering ions exist; therefore, it is a great challenge to extract uranium from seawater with high efficiency and high selectivity. In this work, a symbiotic aerogel fiber (i.e., PAO@ANF) based on polyamidoxime (PAO) and aramid nanofiber (ANF) is designed and fabricated via in-situ gelation of ANF with PAO in dimethyl sulfoxide and subsequent freeze-drying of the corresponding fibrous gel precursor. The resulting flexible porous aerogel fiber possesses high specific surface area (up to 165 m2·g−1), excellent hydrophilicity and high tensile strength (up to 4.56 MPa) as determined by BET, contact angle, and stress-strain measurements. The batch adsorption experiments indicate that the PAO@ANF aerogel fibers possess a maximal adsorption capacity of uranium up to 262.5 mg·g−1, and the absorption process is better fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model, indicating an adsorption mechanism of the monolayer chemical adsorption. Moreover, the PAO@ANF aerogel fibers exhibit selective adsorption to uranium in the presence of coexisting ions, and they could well maintain good adsorption ability and integrated porous architecture after five cycles of adsorption–desorption process. It would be expected that the symbiotic aerogel fiber could be produced on a large scale and would find promising application in uranium ion extraction from seawater.

Abstract
Extracting uranium from seawater remains a formidable challenge because of its extremely low concentration of 3.3 ppb. State-of-the-art polymeric sorbents employ both amidoximate and carboxylate groups on the side chains to achieve optimal U uptake and selectivity, but little is known about the synergistic effect between the two functional groups in binding with uranyl. Herein, we simulated the binding of a model amidoximate-carboxylate bifunctional ligand with uranyl using a combination of theoretical methods. Gas-phase quantum-mechanical calculations showed a chelate binding of a η2 amidoximate and a monodentate carboxylate to uranyl. Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in an explicit water solvation model confirmed the stability of the chelate mode. Classical MD and free-energy simulations in 0.5 M NaCl showed that the carboxylate group binds first to uranyl, leading to a loose intermediate state, and then, the amidoximate group binds, resulting in a more stable and tight chelate state. Binding of the second bifunctional ligand follows a similar process, and the two ligands prefer a trans configuration around the uranyl group. The simulated free energies indicate that the two bifunctional ligands bind with uranyl 55 kJ/mol stronger than the two ligands with only amidoximate groups. This work suggests an important synergy between amidoximate and carboxylate groups in binding uranyl.

Abstract
Amidoxime-functionalized polymeric adsorbents are the current state-of-the-art materials for collecting uranium (U) from seawater. However, marine tests show that vanadium (V) is preferentially extracted over U and many other cations. Herein, we report a complementary and comprehensive investigation integrating ab initio simulations with thermochemical titrations and XAFS spectroscopy to understand the unusually strong and selective binding of V by polyamidoximes. While the open-chain amidoxime functionalities do not bind V, the cyclic imide-dioxime group of the adsorbent forms a peculiar non-oxido V5+ complex, exhibiting the highest stability constant value ever observed for the V5+ species. XAFS analysis of adsorbents following deployment in environmental seawater confirms V binding solely by the imide-dioximes. Our fundamental findings offer not only guidance for future optimization of selectivity in amidoxime-based sorbent materials, but may also afford insight to understanding the extensive accumulation of V in some marine organisms.

Abstract
Uranium from the sea provides a long-time supply guarantee of nuclear fuels for centuries to come, and the neutral Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex has been shown to be the dominant species of uranium in seawater. However, the solvation and structure of the Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex in seawater have been unclear. Herein we simulate the Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex in a model seawater solution via classical molecular dynamics. We find that Na(+) and Cl(-) ions interact very differently with the neutral Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex in seawater. Especially, one Na(+) ion is closely associated with the Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex, thereby effectively making the complex have a +1 charge, while Cl(-) ions are much farther away. Hence, this work reveals the important role of Na(+) ions in affecting the solvation of the Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex in seawater, which has implications in designing ligands to attract the Ca2UO2(CO3)3 complex to the sorbent.
