Abstract
Designing ligands that can effectively separate actinide An(III)/lanthanide Ln(III) in the solvent extraction process remains one of the key issues in the treatment of accumulated spent nuclear fuel. Nitrogen donor ligands are considered as promising extractants for the separation of An(III) and Ln(III) due to their environmental friendliness. Four new macrocyclic N-donor hexadentate extractants were designed and their coordination with Am(III) and Eu(III), as well as their extraction selectivity and separation performance for Am(III) and Eu(III), were investigated by scalar relativistic density functional theory. A variety of theoretical methods have been used to evaluate the properties of the four ligands and the coordination structures, bonding properties, and thermodynamic properties of the complexes formed by the four ligands with Am(III) and Eu(III). The results of various wavefunction analysis methods including NBO analysis, quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis, and so on show that Am(III) has a stronger coordination ability with the ligands than Eu(III) due to the Am 5f orbitals more involved in bonding with the ligands than the Eu 4f orbitals, and the bonding environment of the N-donor in the ligand has a significant effect on its coordination ability of the metal ions. Thermodynamic analysis of the solvent extraction process shows that all of the four N-containing macrocyclic ligands have good extraction selectivity and separation performance for Am(III) and Eu(III). This study provides theoretical support for designing potential nitrogen-containing macrocyclic extractants with excellent separation performance.

Abstract
The bistriazinyl-phenanthroline representative ligand, BTPhen, shows excellent extraction and separation ability for trivalent actinides and lanthanides. Herein, we first designed three phenanthroline-based nitrogen-donor ligands (L1, L2, and L3), and then studied the structural and bonding properties as well as thermodynamic properties of the probable complexes, ML(NO3)3 (M = Am or Eu and L = L1, L2, or L3), using scalar relativistic density functional theory. Our charge decomposition analysis revealed an obviously higher charge transfer from the ligand to Am(III) compared with the Eu(III) case for the studied complexes. Spin density analysis further showed a more significant degree of Am-to-ligand spin delocalization and the corresponding spin polarization on the ligands. According to the thermodynamic analysis, ligand L3 has the strongest complexation capacity for both Am(III) and Eu(III) ions, while ligand L1 has the highest Am(III)/Eu(III) selectivity in binary octanol/water solutions. We expected that this work can provide valuable theoretical support for the design of effective ligands for actinide(III)/lanthanide(III) separation in high level liquid waste.

Abstract
The competitive balance between uranium (VI) (U(VI)) adsorption and fouling resistance is of great significance in guaranteeing the full potential of U(VI) adsorbents in seawater, and it is faced with insufficient research. To fill the gap in this field, a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was employed to explore the influence and to guide the design of mass-produced natural hemp fibers (HFs). Sulfobetaine (SB)- and carboxybetaine (CB)-type zwitterions containing soft side chains were constructed beside amidoxime (AO) groups on HFs (HFAS and HFAC) to form a hydration layer based on the terminal hydrophilic groups. The soft side chains were swayed by waves to form a hydration-layer area with fouling resistance and to simultaneously expel water molecules surrounding the AO groups. HFAS exhibited greater antifouling properties than that of HFAO and HFAC. The U(VI) adsorption capacity of HFAS was almost 10 times higher than that of HFAO, and the max mass rate of U:V was 4.3 after 35 days of immersion in marine water. This paper offers a theory-guided design of a method to the competitive balance between zwitterion-induced fouling resistance and seawater U(VI) adsorption on natural materials.

Abstract
Extraction of uranium from seawater is one of the important ways to solve the shortage of terrestrial uranium resources. Thereinto, the competition between uranyl and vanadium cations is a significant challenge in the commonly used amidoxime-based adsorbents for extracting uranium from seawater. An in-depth understanding of the extraction behaviors of modified amidoxime groups with uranyl and vanadium ions is one of the effective means to design and develop efficient adsorbents for selective uranium sequestration. In this work, we have designed and systematically investigated the alkyl and amino functionalized amidoxime, (Z)-2-amino-N'-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylbenzimidamide (L1), and its phenyl and methoxy derivatives ((Z)-3-amino-N'-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-2-naphthimidamide (L2) and (Z)-2-amino-N'-hydroxy-4-methoxy-N,N-dimethylbenzimidamide (L3)) by quantum chemistry calculations. In the uranyl complexes, the amidoxime groups prefer to act as η2-coordinated ligands as the amidoximes increase, and there exist substantial hydrogen bond interactions, which are different from the vanadium complexes. Various bonding analyses show that the L1 ligand possesses a stronger binding affinity to UO22+, and the -C6H5 and -CH3O substituent groups seem to have no effect on the improvement of extraction ability. Thermodynamic analysis confirms that the L1 ligand has a stronger extraction capability to uranyl ion compared to L2 and L3. According to the calculations of the vanadium (V) (VO2+ and VO3+) complexes with the L1 ligand, L1 is more likely to react with [H2VO4]- and [HVO4]2- to form VO2+ complexes. Expectantly, thermodynamic analysis displays a higher extraction capacity for uranyl ions than vanadium ions. Therefore, these alkyl and amino functionalized amidoxime ligands demonstrate high selectivity for uranyl over vanadium ions, which is mainly due to the coordination mode changes of these ligands toward vanadium in conjunction with the considerable hydrogen bonds in the uranyl complexes. These results are expected to afford useful clues for the design of efficient adsorbents for uranium extraction from seawater.

Abstract
Assembling graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) into three-dimensional (3D) materials with controllable and desired structure is an effective way to expand their structural features and enable their practical applications. In this work, an ultralight 3D porous amidoxime functionalized graphene oxide nanoribbons aerogel (PAO/GONRs-A) was prepared via solvothermal polymerization method using acrylonitrile as monomer and GONRs as solid matrices for selective separation of uranium(VI) from water samples. The PAO/GONRs-A possessed a high nitrogen content (13.5%), low density (8.5 mg cm-3), and large specific surface area (494.9 m2 g-1), and presented an excellent high adsorption capacity of uranium, with a maximum capacity of 2.475 mmol g-1 at a pH of 4.5, and maximum uranium-selectivity of 65.23% at a pH of 3.0. The results of adsorption experiments showed that U(VI) adsorption on PAO/GONRs-A was a pH-dependent, spontaneous and endothermic process, which was better fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that U(VI) adsorption on PAO/GONRs-A mainly did rely on the amidoxime groups anchored on the aerogel while UO2(PAO)2(H2O)3 was dominant after interaction of uranyl with PAO/GONRs-A. Therefore, as a candidate adsorbent, PAO/GONRs-A has a high potential for the removal of uranium from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In the wake of sustainable development, materials research is going through a green revolution that is putting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials and methods in the limelight. In this quest for greener alternatives, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new generation of designable crystalline porous polymers for a wide array of clean-energy and environmental applications. In this contribution, we categorically review the merits and shortcomings of COF bulk powders, nanosheets, freestanding thin films/membranes, and membranes on porous supports in various separation processes, including separation of gases, pervaporation, organic solvent nanofiltration, water purification, radionuclide sequestration, and chiral separations, with particular reference to COF material pore size, host–guest interactions, stability, selectivity, and permeability. This review covers the fabrication strategies of nanosheets, films, and membranes, as well as performance parameters, and provides an overview of the separation landscape with COFs in relation to other porous polymers, while seeking to interpret the future research opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Knowledge-based design of extracting agents for selective binding of actinides is essential in stock-pile stewardship, environmental remediation, separations, and nuclear fuel disposal. Robust computational protocols are critical for in depth understanding of structural properties and to further advance the design of selective ligands. In particular, rapid radiochemical separations require predictive capabilities for binding in the gas phase. This study focuses on gas-phase binding preferences of cyclic imide dioximes to uranyl, neptunyl, plutonyl, and americyl. Structural properties, electron withdrawing effects, and their effects on binding preferences are studied with natural bond-order population analysis. The aromatic amidoximes are found to have a larger electron-donation effect than the aliphatic amidoximes. It is also found that plutonyl is more electron withdrawing than uranyl, neptunyl, and americyl when bound to the cyclic imide dioximes studied.

Abstract
The potential consequences of nuclear events and the complexity of nuclear waste management motivate the development of selective solid-phase sorbents to provide enhanced protection. Herein, it is shown that 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with unique structures possess all the traits to be well suited as a platform for the deployment of highly efficient sorbents such that they exhibit remarkable performance, as demonstrated by uranium capture. The chelating groups laced on the open 1D channels exhibit exceptional accessibility, allowing significantly higher utilization efficiency. In addition, the 2D extended polygons packed closely in an eclipsed fashion bring chelating groups in adjacent layers parallel to each other, which may facilitate their cooperation, thereby leading to high affinity toward specific ions. As a result, the amidoxime-functionalized COFs far outperform their corresponding amorphous analogs in terms of adsorption capacities, kinetics, and affinities. Specifically, COF-TpAb-AO is able to reduce various uranium contaminated water samples from 1 ppm to less than 0.1 ppb within several minutes, well below the drinking water limit (30 ppb), as well as mine uranium from spiked seawater with an exceptionally high uptake capacity of 127 mg g-1 . These results delineate important synthetic advances toward the implementation of COFs in environmental remediation.

Abstract
This review provides a brief background on the extraction of uranium from seawater as well as recent work by the United States Department of Energy on this project. The world's oceans contain uranium at 3 parts per billion, and despite this low concentration, there has been historical interest in harvesting it, mainly in Japan in the 1980s and the United States in this decade. Improvements in materials, chemistry, and deployment methods have all been made, with the ultimate goal of lower cost. This has been partially realized, dropping from approximately $2000 per kg U3O8 extracted in 1984 to $500 per kg today, although this is not yet competitive with terrestrial uranium. This technology may become cost-competitive if the cost of land-based uranium rises, especially if seawater extraction technology is improved further. The coordination chemistry aspects of the project are described in more detail, exploring the functional groups that are present on typical polymer sorbents as well as small-molecule analogues of these ligands. Selectivity for uranium over other metals, particularly vanadium, remains problematic, and techniques to both quantify binding strength and selectivity in order to overcome this issue are essential for future cost improvements.

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.

Abstract
By examining the overall accuracy of different theoretical methods in predicting the U–X bond distances (of a series uranyl complexes), we found that both the global-hybrid meta-GGA functional of BB1K and the range-seperated LC-BLYP functional are fairly good (even better than the popular B3LYP method).
