Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202400849. [PMID: 38656826 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202400849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
As a critical radioactive anionic contaminant, traditional adsorbents primarily remove iodate (IO3 -) through ion exchange or hard acid-hard base interactions, but suffer from limited affinity and capacity. Herein, employing the synergistic effect of ion exchange and redox, we successfully synthesized a redox-active cationic polymer network (SCU-CPN-6, [C9H10O2N5 ⋅ Cl]n) by merging guanidino groups with ion-exchange capability and phenolic groups with redox ability via a Schiff base reaction. SCU-CPN-6 exhibits a groundbreaking adsorption capacity of 896 mg/g for IO3 -. The inferior adsorption capacities of polymeric networks containing only redox (~0 mg/g) or ion exchange (232 mg/g) fragments underscore the synergistic "1+1>2" effect of the two mechanisms. Besides, SCU-CPN-6 shows excellent uptake selectivity for IO3 - in the presence of high concentrations of SO4 2-, Cl-, and NO3 -. Meanwhile, a high distribution coefficient indicates its exemplary deep-removal performance for low IO3 - concentration. The synergic strategy not only presents a breakthrough solution for the efficient removal of IO3 - but also establishes a promising avenue for the design of advanced adsorbents for diverse applications.

Abstract
The extraction of 99TcO4- from radioactive effluents is extremely crucial for the purposes of nuclear disposal and environmental remediation. Herein, utilizing a facile and low-cost synthesis method, we report a pyridinium-based cationic polymer network, CPP-Cl, with impressive adsorption performance and ultrafast adsorption kinetics towards ReO4-. The structure featuring highly density of charged pyridinium units was synthesized, making it an effective adsorbent for capturing ReO4-. The material showed fast ReO4- adsorption kinetics reaching adsorption equilibrium within 30 s, an excellent capture capability of 1069.7 mg/g, and exceptional separation efficiency of 94.3% for removing 1000 ppm ReO4-. Furthermore, it possessed excellent reusability in multiple sorption/desorption trials and good uptake capacity within a widely ranging pH values. It is noteworthy that the extraction efficiency of CPP-Cl for ReO4- from simulated nuclear waste can be up to 94.2%. The favorable performance of the material in multiple tests revealed that CPP-Cl has tremendous potential as a high-efficiency sorbent for capturing 99TcO4-/ReO4- in complex nuclear associated environmental systems.

Abstract
Recovering platinum group metals from secondary resources is crucial to meet the growing demand for high-tech applications. Various techniques are explored, and adsorption using porous materials has emerged as a promising technology due to its efficient performance and environmental beingness. However, the challenge lies in effectively recovering and separating individual platinum group metals (PGMs) given their similar chemical properties. Herein, a breakthrough approach is presented by sophisticatedly tailoring the coordination micro-environment in a series of aminopyridine-based porous organic polymers, which enables the creation of platinum-specific nanotraps for efficient separation of binary PGMs (platinum/palladium). The newly synthesized POP-o2NH2-Py demonstrates record uptakes and selectivity toward platinum over palladium, with the amino groups adjacent to the pyridine moieties being vital in improving platinum binding performance. Further breakthrough experiments underline its remarkable ability to separate platinum and palladium. Spectroscopic analysis reveals that POP-o2NH2-Py offers a more favorable coordination fashion to platinum ions compared to palladium ions owing to the greater interaction between N and Pt4+ and stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amino groups and four coordinating chlorines at platinum. These findings underscore the importance of fine-tuning the coordination micro-environment of nanotraps through subtle modifications that can greatly enhance the selectivity toward the desired metal ions.

Abstract
Chiral aluminum oxo clusters (cAlOCs) are distinguished from other classes of materials on account of their abundance in the earth's crust and their potential for sustainable development. However, the practical synthesis of cAlOCs is rarely known. Herein, we adopt a synergistic coordination strategy by using chiral amino acid ligands as bridges and auxiliary pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid as chelating ligands and successfully isolate an extensive family of cAlOCs. They integrate molecular chirality, absolute helicity, and intrinsic hydrogen-bonded chiral topology. Moreover, they have the structural characteristics of one-dimensional channels and replaceable counteranions, which make them well combined with fluorescent dyes for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of up to the 10-3 order is comparable to several noble metals, revealing the enormous potential of cAlOCs in low-cost chiral materials. We hope this work will inspire new discoveries in the field of chirality and provide new opportunities for constructing low-cost chiral materials.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for highly efficient sorbents capable of selectively removing 99TcO4- from concentrated alkaline nuclear wastes, which has long been a significant challenge. In this study, we present the design and synthesis of a high-performance adsorbent, CPN-3 (CPN denotes cationic polymeric nanotrap), which achieves excellent 99TcO4- capture under strong alkaline conditions by incorporating branched alkyl chains on the N3 position of imidazolium units and optimizing the framework anion density within the pores of a cationic polymeric nanotrap. CPN-3 features exceptional stability in harsh alkaline and radioactive environments as well as exhibits fast kinetics, high adsorption capacity, and outstanding selectivity with full reusability and great potential for the cost-effective removal of 99TcO4-/ReO4- from contaminated water. Notably, CPN-3 marks a record-high adsorption capacity of 1052 mg/g for ReO4- after treatment with 1 M NaOH aqueous solutions for 24 h and demonstrates a rapid removal rate for 99TcO4- from simulated Hanford and Savannah River Site waste streams. The mechanisms for the superior alkaline stability and 99TcO4- capture performances of CPN-3 are investigated through combined experimental and computational studies. This work suggests an alternative perspective for designing functional materials to address nuclear waste management.

Abstract
Charge dispersed oxoanionic pollutants (such as TcO4- and ReO4-) with low hydrophilicity are typically difficult to be preferentially extracted. Recently, cationic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have received considerable attention for anions trapping. Two cationic COFs, denoted as Tp-S and Tp-D, were synthesized by incorporating ethyl and cyclic alkylated diquats into 2,2'-bipyridine-based COF. A synergistic effect of hydrophobic channel and anion-recognition sites were achieved by branched chains, which effectively surmounted the Hofmeister bias. Both Tp-S and Tp-D exhibited raising removal performance for surrogate ReO4- at high acidity with adsorption capacities of 435.6 and 291.4 mg g-1, respectively. Obvious variations caused by side chains were displayed in microstructures and adsorption performance. Specially, compared with Tp-D, Tp-S demonstrated desirable priority in uptake capacity and selectivity. In a real-scenario experiment, Tp-S could remove 72.8 % of ReO4- in a simulated Hanford LAW stream, which was attributed to the spatial effects and charge distribution arising from the open and flexible side chains of Tp-S. Otherwise, the rigid cyclic chains endowed pyridine-base Tp-D material an unprecedented alkaline stability. Spectra and theoretical calculations revealed a mechanism of preferential capture based on electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding between charge dispersed ReO4-/TcO4- and Tp-S/Tp-D. This work provides an innovative perspective to tailored materials for the treatment of oxoanionic contaminants.

Abstract
99Tc primarily exists high mobility in the natural aqueous environment due to its extremely high solubility and non-complexing features, which can easily cause radioactive pollution. We herein report a general strategy for constructing a novel resin (SiPAN-PEI) with multiple positive charges nitrogen, exhibiting ultrafast adsorption kinetics (< 3 min), superior adsorption capacities (463.96 mg g-1), and excellent selectivity in the presence of excess competitive anions, which exceed those of most commercial resins. Moreover, based on impressive structure stability in extreme conditions, SiPAN-PEI can still maintain superior adsorption abilities after suffering irradiation, calcination, and immersion in strong acid. In addition, the separation performance kept excellently after five loading-washing-eluting cycles and the total adsorption ratio can still reach 97 %. Outstandingly, SiPAN-PEI can remove most of ReO4- from simulated nuclear wastewater through a sequential injection automatic separation system and can reduce the concentration of ReO4- to the maximum concentration standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO) in a short time. Leveraging density functional theory calculations and other characteristics clearly elucidated adsorption mechanism of anion-exchange between Cl- and TcO4-/ReO4-. In terms of superior adsorption property, SiPAN-PEI is demonstrated to be a pretty candidate for 99Tc elimination from wastewater.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made environmental contaminants causing increasing global concern due to their adverse effect on environmental and human health. Conventional treatment methods are ineffective in removing short-chain PFAS because they are persistent and recalcitrant to treatment. This study evaluated the performance of a structurally-tunable and chemically-stable porous organic polymer (POP) for PFAS removal under realistic environmental conditions. The POP demonstrated an exceptionally high removal efficiency (>95%) within 15 min when the initial PFAS concentration was approximately 400 ng/L. The adsorption of PFAS on the POP was not significantly affected by changes in solution pH within the range of 5-9. The common co-contaminants in water competed with short-chain PFAS for active sites during the adsorption process following the order of natural organic matter (NOM), long-chain PFAS, and Cl-. The Freundlich-type model could predict the multicomponent interactions well with a R2 value above 0.91. The spent POP was effectively regenerated using a mixture of the 10% NaCl and 30% methanol solution and the PFAS removal maintained at 90% through five adsorption and desorption cycles. The characteristics of the designed POP make it a highly promising and stable absorbent. It enables fast and effective removal of short-chain PFAS.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, artificial hydrogen bond-based anion receptors have been developed to achieve high anion selectivity; however, their binding affinity is usually low. The potency of these receptors is usually increased by the introduction of aryl substituents, which withdraw electrons from their binding site through the resonance effect. Here, we show that the polarization of the C(sp3 )-H binding site of bambusuril receptors, and thus their potency to bind anions, can be modulated by the inductive effect. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups on benzyl substituents of bambusurils significantly increases their binding affinities to halides, resulting in the strongest iodide receptor reported to date with an association constant greater than 1013 M-1 in acetonitrile. A Hammett plot showed that while the bambusuril affinity toward halides linearly increases with the electron-withdrawing power of their substituents, their binding selectivity remains essentially unchanged.

Abstract
Herein, we report a straightforward strategy to construct reusable, hemocompatible, and highly efficient bilirubin adsorbents by installing zwitterionic modules into a porous organic polymer (POP) for hemoperfusion application. Three types of zwitterions with different amounts are used to evaluate their impacts on the characteristics of POPs, including carboxybetaine methacrylate (CB), sulfobetaine methacrylate (SB), and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC). Results show that zwitterions can improve hemocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and bilirubin uptake of the POP. Among all zwitterionic POPs, POP-CB-40% exhibits the best bilirubin uptake, ∼46.5 times enhancement compared with the non-zwitterionic POP in 100% serum. This enhancement can be attributed to the improved hydrophilicity and protein resistance ability in biological solutions. More importantly, the reusability test shows that POP-CB-40% maintains ∼99% of bilirubin uptake capacity at fifth recycling in 100% serum. Findings in this work provide a guideline for the design of biocompatible and efficient POP-based bilirubin adsorbents for hemoperfusion therapy.

Abstract
The paper describes a new method for the rapid determination of Technetium (Tc) in sediment samples using solid-phase extraction chromatography (SPEC) with a novel methyl triphenyl phosphoniumnitrate (MTPN) resin. The effectiveness of the resin in selectively recovering Tc was evaluated in both batch and column mode and exploited for rapid analysis of 'Tc'. The procedure involves the acid digestion of samples, pre-concentration of fission products in supernatant and co-precipitation of actinides with Fe(OH)3, followed by selective recovery of Tc by SPEC using a column filled with MTPN resin. The recovered Tc was then radiometrically assayed using beta counting. The method was validated using IAEA certified reference materials and was found to provide reliable and reproducible results for the activity concentration of Tc-99 in sediment samples within 24 h.

Abstract
Technetium isotope 99Tc is a main radioactive waste produced in the process of nuclear reaction, which has the characteristics of long half-life and strong environmental mobility, and can be bio-accumulated in organisms, resulting in serious threat to human health and ecosystem. Adsorption method is widely used in the field of removing radionuclides from water due to the advantages of high treatment rate, simple and mature industrial application. In this review paper, the recent advances in research and application of various adsorption materials for 99Tc pollution treatment were summarized and analyzed for the first time, including inorganic adsorbents, such as activated carbon, zero-valent iron, metallic minerals, clay minerals, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), tin-based materials, and sulfur-based materials; organic adsorbents, such as porous organic polymers (POPs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and ion exchange resin; and biological adsorbents, such as biopolymers (chitosan, cellulose, alginate), and microbial cells. The performance characteristics and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of various adsorption materials were discussed. This review could deepen the understanding of the adsorptive removal of 99Tc from aqueous solution, and provide a reference for the future research in this field.

Abstract
Precise ion recognition plays a key role in the anionic decontamination in water. However, the established anionic recognition based on neutral or cationic anion receptor is still restricted by the inherent limitation, such as narrow application scope in organic solvent rather than water for neutral anion receptor and poor selectivity due to non-directional electrostatic interaction for cationic anion receptor. Herein, for the first time, a neutral metal-organic framework (MOF) anion receptor is shown, enabling precise anion recognition, for example, the presence of a variety of 1000-fold competitive anions does not affect the selective adsorption of the target anion at all. A radical-dominating anion-recognition mechanism is proposed for rationalizing the efficacy of the neutral MOF.

Abstract
Nuclear industry spent fuel reprocessing and some radioactive contamination sites often involve high acidity and salinity environments. Currently developed and reported sorbents in 99 TcO4 - sequestration from the nuclear waste are unstable and show low adsorption efficiency in harsh conditions. To address this issue, we developed a post-synthetic modification strategy by grafting imidazole-based ionic liquids (ILs) onto the backbone of covalent organic framework (COF) via vinyl polymerization. The resultant COF-polyILs sorbent exhibits fast adsorption kinetics (<5 min) and good sorption capacity (388 mg g-1 ) for ReO4 - (a nonradioactive surrogate of 99 TcO4 - ). Outstandingly, COF-polyILs composite shows superior ReO4 - removal even under highly acidic conditions and in the presence of excess competing ions of Hanford low-level radioactive waste stream, benefiting from the stable covalent bonds between the COF and polyILs, mass of imidazole rings, and hydrophobic pores in COF.

Abstract
Modern global industrialization along with the ever-increasing growth of the population has resulted in continuous enhancement in the discharge and accumulation of various toxic and hazardous chemicals in the environment. These harmful pollutants, including toxic gases, inorganic heavy metal ions, anthropogenic waste, persistent organic pollutants, toxic dyes, pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds, etc., are destroying the ecological balance of the environment. Therefore, systematic monitoring and effective remediation of these toxic pollutants either by adsorptive removal or by catalytic degradation are of great significance. From this viewpoint, porous organic polymers (POPs), being two- or three-dimensional polymeric materials, constructed from small organic molecules connected with rigid covalent bonds have come forth as a promising platform toward various leading applications, especially for efficient environmental remediation. Their unique chemical and structural features including high stability, tunable pore functionalization, and large surface area have boosted the transformation of POPs into various macro-physical forms such as thick and thin-film membranes, which led to a new direction in advanced level pollutant removal, separation and catalytic degradation. In this review, our focus is to highlight the recent progress and achievements in the strategic design, synthesis, architectural-engineering and applications of POPs and their composite materials toward environmental remediation. Several strategies to improve the adsorption efficiency and catalytic degradation performance along with the in-depth interaction mechanism of POP-based materials have been systematically summarized. In addition, evolution of POPs from regular powder form application to rapid and more efficient size and chemo-selective, "real-time" applicable membrane-based application has been further highlighted. Finally, we put forward our perspective on the challenges and opportunities of these materials toward real-world implementation and future prospects in next generation remediation technology.

Abstract
The selective removal of the β-emitting pertechnetate ion (99 TcO4 - ) from nuclear waste streams is technically challenging. Herein, a practical approach is proposed for the selective removal of 99 TcO4 - (or its surrogate ReO4 - ) under extreme conditions of high acidity, alkalinity, ionic strength, and radiation field. Hollow porous N-doped carbon capsules loaded with ruthenium clusters (Ru@HNCC) are first prepared, then modified with a cationic polymeric network (R) containing imidazolium-N+ units (Ru@HNCC-R) for selective 99 TcO4 - and ReO4 - binding. The Ru@HNCC-R capsules offer high binding affinities for 99 TcO4 - /ReO4 - under wide-ranging conditions. An electrochemical redox process then transforms adsorbed ReO4 - to bulk ReO3 , delivering record-high removal capacities, fast kinetics, and excellent long-term durability for removing ReO4 - (as a proxy for 99 TcO4 - ) in a 3 m HNO3 , simulated nuclear waste-Hanford melter recycle stream and an alkaline high-level waste stream (HLW) at the U.S. Savannah River Site (SRS). In situ Raman and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analyses showed that adsorbed Re(VII) is electrocatalytically reduced on Ru sites to a Re(IV)O2 intermediate, which can then be re-oxidized to insoluble Re(VI)O3 for facile collection. This approach overcomes many of the challenges associated with the selective separation and removal of 99 TcO4 - /ReO4 - under extreme conditions, offering new vistas for nuclear waste management and environmental remediation.

Abstract
A halogen bond-based water-soluble tetrapodal iodoimidazolium receptor, (L-I)(4Br), exhibited a high degree of efficiency (∼96%) in extracting ReO4- from 100% aqueous medium within a wide range of concentrations and of pH values along with excellent reusability. The solid-state X-ray diffraction study showed the trapping of ReO4- by (L-I)(4Br) via the Re-O····I halogen bonding interaction. XPS studies also suggested the interaction between I and ReO4- through polarization of the electron density of I atoms by ReO4-. (L-I)(4Br) is found to be capable of retaining its high extraction efficiency in the presence of competing anions such as F-, Cl-, I-, SO42-, H2PO4-, CO32-, NO3-, BF4-, ClO4-, Cr2O72-, and a mixture of these anions. Interestingly, (L-I)(4Br) was found to be superior in ReO4- extraction as compared to its hydrogen-bond donor analogue, (L-H)(4Br), as confirmed by a series of control experiments and theoretical calculations. Our synthesized dipodal and tripodal halogen bond donor receptors and their H-analogues validated the superiority of these classes of supramolecular halogen bond donor receptors over their hydrogen-bond analogues. (L-I)(4Br) also showed superior practical applicability in terms of the removal of ReO4- at anion concentrations as low as ∼100 ppm, which was a major shortcoming of (L-H)(4Br).

Abstract
Evaporation-induced self-assembly method (EISA) was a facile and reliable method to synthesize porous materials. Herein, we report a kind of hierarchical porous ionic liquid covalent organic polymers (HPnDNH2) under cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted by EISA for ReO4-/TcO4- removal. Unlike covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which usually needed to be prepared in a closed environment or with a long reaction time, HPnDNH2 in this study was prepared within 1 h in an open environment. It was worth noting that CTAB not only served as a soft template for forming pore, but also induced ordered structure, which was verified by SEM, TEM, and Gas sorption. Benefit from its hierarchical pore structure, HPnDNH2 exhibited higher adsorption capacity (690.0 mg g-1 for HP1DNH2 and 808.7 mg g-1 for HP1.5DNH2) and faster kinetics for ReO4-/TcO4- than 1DNH2 (without employing CTAB). Additionally, the material used to remove TcO4- from alkaline nuclear waste was seldom reported, because combining features of alkali resistance and high uptake selectivity was not easy to achieve. In this study, in the case of HP1DNH2, it displayed outstanding adsorption efficiency toward aqueous ReO4-/TcO4- in 1 mol L-1 NaOH solution (92%) and simulated Savannah River Site High-level waste (SRS HLW) melter recycle stream (98%), which could be a potentially excellent nuclear waste adsorbing material.

Abstract
99Technetium (99Tc) is a hazardous radionuclide that poses a serious environmental threat. The wide variation and complex chemistries of liquid nuclear waste streams containing 99Tc often create unique, site specific challenges when sequestering and immobilizing the waste in a matrix suitable for long-term storage and disposal. Therefore, an effective management plan for 99Tc containing liquid radioactive wastes (such as storage (tanks) and decommissioned wastes) will likely require a variety of suitable materials/matrixes capable of adapting to and addressing these challenges. In this review, we discuss and highlight the key developments for effective removal and immobilization of 99Tc liquid waste in inorganic waste forms. Specifically, we review the synthesis, characterization, and application of materials for the targeted removal of 99Tc from (simulated) waste solutions under various experimental conditions. These materials include (i) layered double hydroxides (LDHs), (ii) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), (iii) ion-exchange resins (IERs) as well as cationic organic polymers (COPs), (iv) surface modified natural clay materials (SMCMs), and (v) graphene-based materials (GBMs). Second, we discuss some of the major and recent developments toward 99Tc immobilization in (i) glass, (ii) cement, and (iii) iron mineral waste forms. Finally, we present future challenges that need to be addressed for the design, synthesis, and selection of suitable matrixes for the efficient sequestration and immobilization of 99Tc from targeted wastes. The purpose of this review is to inspire research on the design and application of various suitable materials/matrixes for selective removal of 99Tc present globally in different radioactive wastes and its immobilization in stable/durable waste forms.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 455:131549. [PMID: 37163896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Selective capture of radioactive 99TcO4- from highly alkaline nuclear waste is highly desirable for environmental remediation and waste disposal. However, the combined features of adsorbents with excellent chemical stability and high capture selectivity for 99TcO4- have not yet been achieved. Herein, we report an ultra-stable 3D pyridinium salt-based polymeric network (TMP-TBPM) nanotrap with remarkable radiation, acid and base stability for selective capture of ReO4- via hydrophobic engineering and steric hindrance, a non-radioactive surrogate of 99TcO4-. The batch capture experiments show that TMP-TBPM has high capture capacity (918.7 mg g-1) and fast sorption kinetics (94.3 % removal in 2 min), which can be attributed to the high density of pyridinium salt-based units on the highly accessible pore channels of 3D interconnected low-density skeleton. In addition, the introduction of abundant alkyl and tetraphenylmethane units into the 3D framework not only greatly enhanced the hydrophobicity and stability of TMP-TBPM, but also significantly improved the affinity toward 99TcO4-/ReO4-, enabling reversible and selective capture of 99TcO4-/ReO4- even under highly alkaline conditions. This study exhibits the great potential of 3D pyridinium salt-based polymeric network nanotrap for 99TcO4-/ReO4- capture from highly alkaline nuclear waste, providing a new strategy to construct high-performance cationic polymeric sorbents for radioactive wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Efficient extraction of radioactive 99TcO4- from strong acid/base solutions by porous adsorbents is extremely desirable but remains a great challenge. To overcome the challenge, here we report the first example of an olefin-linked cationic covalent organic framework (COF) named BDBI-TMT with excellent acid, base and radiation stability is synthesized by integrating robust imidazolium salt-based linkers with triazine building blocks. BDBI-TMT shows an ultra-fast adsorption kinetics (equilibrium is reached within 1 min) and an excellent ReO4- (a non-radioactive surrogate of 99TcO4-) capture capacity of 726 mg g-1, which can be attributed to the abundance of precisely tailored imidazolium salt-based units on the highly accessible pore walls of the ordered pore channels. Furthermore, the formation of the highly conjugated bulky alkyl skeleton enhances the hydrophobicity of BDBI-TMT, which significantly improves not only the affinity toward ReO4-/99TcO4- but also the chemical stability, allowing selective and reversible extraction of ReO4-/99TcO4- even under extreme conditions. This work demonstrates the great potential of olefin-linked cationic COFs for ReO4-/99TcO4- extraction, providing a new avenue to construct high-performance porous adsorbents for radionuclide remediation.

Abstract
Effective and selective removal of 99TcO4-, one of the most nuisance radionuclides in nuclear waste, is highly desirable but remains a significant challenge. Herein, two isostructural MOFs, NCU-3-X (X = Cl, Br) were constructed by ZnX2 coordinated to nitrogen-containing neutral ligand tri(4-(1H-imidazole-1-l) phenyl) amine for efficient adsorption ReO4-/TcO4-. Owning to the twofold interpenetrating structure, both of them exhibit strong alkaline resistance. Consequently, NCU-3-Br exhibited superior adsorption performances with a maximum capacity as high as 483 mg/g, which is 2.23 times larger than that of NCU-3-Cl. The primary reasons accounting for the enhanced adsorption performances of NCU-3-Br are that compared to chlorine atoms, the smaller electronegativity of bromine atoms as halogen bonds donor can facilitate the formation of σ-holes, enhance positively charged skeleton, and reduce the adsorption energy associated with ReO4-/TcO4-. In addition, the one-dimensional hydrophobic channels in the NCU-3-Br framework enable NCU-3-Br to have highly selective toward ReO4-, which has a low relative charge density against interfering ions. The SRS simulation removal experiment further confirmed the excellent adsorption capacity of NCU-3-Br to ReO4-/TcO4-. This work illustrated that the halogenated new strategy incorporated different halogen atoms into MOF skeletons can dramatically modulate the adsorption performances for ReO4-/TcO4-.

Abstract
Water pollution is a growing threat to humanity due to the pervasiveness of contaminants in water bodies. Significant efforts have been made to separate these hazardous components to purify polluted water through various methods. However, conventional remediation methods suffer from limitations such as low uptake capacity or selectivity, and current water quality standards cannot be met. Recently, advanced porous materials (APMs) have shown promise in improved segregation of contaminants compared to traditional porous materials in uptake capacity and selectivity. These materials feature merits of high surface area and versatile functionality, rendering them ideal platforms for the design of novel adsorbents. This Review summarizes the development and employment of APMs in a variety of water treatments accompanied by assessments of task-specific adsorption performance. Finally, we discuss our perspectives on future opportunities for APMs in water purification.

Abstract
Molten salt reactor operation will necessitate circulation of a cover gas to remove certain evolved fission products and maintain an inert atmosphere. The cover gas leaving the reactor core is expected to contain both noble and non-noble gases, aerosols, volatile species, tritium, and radionuclides and their daughters. To remove these radioactive gases, it is necessary to develop a robust off-gas system, along with novel sensors to monitor the gas stream and the treatment system performance. In this study, a metal organic framework (MOF) was engineered for the capture of Xe, a major contributor to the off-gas source term. The engineered MOF column was tested with a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) sensor for noble gas monitoring. The LIBS sensor was used to monitor breakthrough tests with various Xe, Kr, and Ar mixtures to determine the Xe selectivity of the MOF column. This study offers an initial demonstration of the feasibility of monitoring off-gas treatment systems using a LIBS sensor to aid in the development of new capture systems for molten salt reactors.

Abstract
Large-scale and low-cost synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to meet the demands of industrial application remains formidably challenge. Here we report using 2,4,6-collidine as monomer to produce a series of highly crystalline olefin-linked COFs by a melt polymerization method. This method enables the kilogram-scale fabrication of self-shaped monolithic robust foams. The afforded COFs possess extremely low cost (<50 USD/kg), superior to all the reported COFs. Furthermore, using one-pot or post-modification methods can conveniently transform neutral COFs to ionic COFs, which can be applied as highly efficient ion-exchange sorbents for scavenging oxoanion pollutants. Remarkably, the superior adsorption capacity of a model oxoanion (ReO4 - ) is the highest among crystalline porous materials reported so far. This work not only expands the scopes of olefin-linked COFs but also enlightens the route for the industrial production of crystalline ion exchange sorbents.

Abstract
The synthesis of ionic olefin linked three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) is greatly challenging given the hardness of the formation of stable carbon-carbon double bonds (-C = C-). Herein, we report a general strategy for designing porous positively charged sp2 carbon-linked 3D COFs through the Aldol condensation promoted by quaternization. The obtained 3D COFs, namely TFPM-PZI and TAPM-PZI, showed impressive chemical stability. Furthermore, the positively charged frameworks with regular porosity endow 3D ionic COFs with selective capture radioactive ReO4-/TcO4- and great removal efficiency in simulated Hanford waste. This research not only broadens the category of 3D COFs but also promotes the application of COFs as efficient functional materials.

Abstract
99Tc is one of the most problematic nuclear fuel products due to its long half-life and high environmental mobility. Direct removal of TcO4- from the highly alkaline solution of nuclear fuel is a serious and challenging environmental issue. In this work, the first efficient synthetic approach introducing halogens into a two-dimensional metal-organic framework, named Mn-MOF, is established using MnCl2·4H2O coordinating with neutral nitrogen-donor ligand, showing ultrahigh stability in alkaline aqueous even under 1 M NaOH. The luxuriant Mn-Cl bonds and ordered hydrophobic pore channels enable the Mn-MOF to have an efficient adsorption capacity for ReO4- with a large capacity (403 mg g-1), which is higher than most MOF adsorbents. More importantly, the Mn-MOF shows an excellent selectivity toward ReO4- in high-density competitive anions, such as NO3- and SO42-. Moreover, the outstanding performance of Mn-MOF in removing ReO4- endowed it successfully separated ReO4- from the simulated Savannah River Site (SRS) high-level waste (HLW) stream with high removal of 66.84% at the phase ratio of 10. The adsorption mechanism is further demonstrated by FT-IR, XPS analysis, and DFT calculation, showing that the ReO4- can selectively interact with Mn-Cl bonds and imidazole groups, forming unique halogen bonds Cl-O-Re, and a series of hydrogen bonds, respectively. This work suggests a new approach to the removal of TcO4- from nuclear fuel.

Abstract
Design elements extracted from biological ion channels guide the engineering of artificial nanofluidic membranes for efficient ionic transport and spawn biomimetic devices with great potential in many cutting-edge areas. In this context, polymeric nanofluidic membranes can be especially attractive because of their inherent flexibility and benign processability, which facilitate massive fabrication and facile device integration for large-scale applications. Herein, the state-of-the-art achievements of polymeric nanofluidic membranes are systematically summarized. Theoretical fundamentals underlying both biological and synthetic ion channels are introduced.

Abstract
Seawater contains uranium at a concentration of ≈3.3 ppb, thus representing a rich and sustainable nuclear fuel source. Herein, an adsorption-electrocatalytic platform is developed for uranium extraction from seawater, comprising atomically dispersed indium anchored on hollow nitrogen-doped carbon capsules functionalized with flexible amidoxime moieties (In-Nx -C-R, where R denotes amidoxime groups). In-Nx -C-R exhibits excellent uranyl capture properties, enabling a uranium removal rate of 6.35 mg g-1 in 24 h, representing one of the best uranium extractants reported to date. Importantly, In-Nx -C-R demonstrates exceptional selectivity for uranium extraction relative to vanadium in seawater (8.75 times more selective for the former). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals that the amidoxime groups serve as uranyl chelating sites, thus allowing selective adsorption over other ions. XAS and in situ Raman results directly indicate that the absorbed uranyl can be electrocatalytically reduced to an unstable U(V) intermediate, then re-oxidizes to U(VI) in the form of insoluble Na2 O(UO3 ·H2 O)x for collection, through reversible single electron transfer processes involving InNx sites. These results provide detailed mechanistic understanding of the uranium extraction process at a molecular level. This work provides a roadmap for the adsorption-electrocatalytic extraction of uranium from seawater, adding to the growing suite of technologies for harvesting valuable metals from the earth's oceans.

Abstract
Ionic covalent organic framework (COF) materials with high specific surface areas and well-defined pore structures are desired for many applications yet seldom reported. Herein, we report a cationic pyridinium salt-based COF (PS-COF-1) with a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 2703 m2 g-1, state-of-the-art for an ionic COF. Aided by its ordered pore structure, chemical stability, and radiation resistance, PS-COF-1 showed exceptional adsorption properties toward aqueous ReO4- (1262 mg g-1) and 99TcO4-. Its adsorption performance surpassed its corresponding amorphous analogue. Importantly, PS-COF-1 exhibited fast adsorption kinetics, high adsorption capacities, and selectivity for 99TcO4- and ReO4- at high ionic strengths, leading to the successful removal of 99TcO4- under conditions relevant to low-activity waste streams at US legacy Hanford nuclear sites. In addition, PS-COF-1 can rapidly decontaminate ReO4-/99TcO4- polluted potable water (∼10 ppb) to drinking water level (0 ppb, part per billion) within 10 min. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed PS-COF-1 has a strong affinity for ReO4- and 99TcO4-, thereby favoring adsorption of these low charge density anions over other common anions (e.g., Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, CO32-). Our work demonstrates a novel cationic COF sorbent for selective radionuclide capture and legacy nuclear waste management.

Abstract
Development of high-performance ionic organic network (ION) adsorbents is of great importance for water remediation. However, the research on IONs is still nascent, especially, the design philosophy regarding contaminant adsorption has rarely been explored. In this contribution, we optimized the adsorption efficiency of IONs by increasing the density of charged sites and improving their accessibility. We first produced a new cationic organic network (CON), CON-LDU4, with a high density of positive sites via synthesis from tetra(4-pyridyl)ethene. Compared to the analogue CON-LDU2 that synthesized from tetra(4-(4-pyridyl)phenyl)ethene, CON-LDU4 exhibited higher efficiency in adsorption of methyl blue, indicating that the higher ionic density results in the higher adsorption efficiency. To further improve the accessibility of the active sites, another new CON material (CON-LDU5) was synthesized by employing a hard template. CON-LDU5 exhibited a larger specific surface area than CON-LDU4, with clearly enhanced adsorption efficiency. Finally, CON-LDU5 was used to capture CrO42- ions in water with fast adsorption kinetics (k2 = 0.0328 g mg-1 min-1) and high adsorption capacity (369 mg g-1).

Abstract
The recovery of radioactive ions from high salinity low-level radioactive wastewater (LLRW) is important for the sustainable utilization of nuclear energy. Previous work primarily focuses on developing adsorbents that remove individual types of ions via physicochemical adsorption. Here, we report a new strategy for the simultaneous recovery of uranium (UO22+) and rhenium (ReO4-) as a non-radioactive surrogate of technetium from LLRW via electro-adsorption. Carboxyl functionalized covalent organic frameworks (COF-1) and cationic covalent organic frameworks (COF-2) were prepared as cathode and anode materials, respectively. The adsorption capacities were 411 mg U/g for COF-1 and 984 mg Re/g for COF-2 under 1.2 direct-current (DC) volts, 2.5 and 2.1 times higher than the capacities of the same adsorbents obtained by physicochemical adsorption. We also found that the electro-adsorption of uranium and rhenium follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with the adsorption rates of 0.45 and 1.05 g/mg/h at pH 7.0 and 298.15 K, again two times faster than those measured in physicochemical adsorption. Therefore, electro-adsorption improves both adsorption capacity and kinetics by maximizing the utility of available active sites in adsorbents and facilitating ion migration towards the adsorbents. The adsorption efficiencies for uranium and rhenium reached 65.9% and 89.2%, respectively, after electro-adsorption for 2 h. The high efficiencies can be maintained after five adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, the electrodes showed high selectivity for uranium(VI) and rhenium(VII) and excellent salt resistance even in 1 mol/L NaCl solution. XPS studies revealed that covalent bonds were formed between uranium(VI) and carboxyl groups on COF-1, and rhenium(VII) was bound to cationic COF-2 through electrostatic interaction. Our asymmetric electrodes design can be extended to simultaneously and efficiently remove other types of radioactive or heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
In recent years, detoxification of contaminated water by different types of materials has received a great deal of attention. However, lack of methodical in-depth understanding of the role of various physical properties of such materials toward improved sorption performance limits their applicable efficiencies. In perspective, decontamination of oxoanion-polluted water by porous materials with different morphologies are unexplored due to a shortfall of proper synthetic strategies. Herein, systematic optimization of sequestration performance toward efficient decontamination of toxic oxoanion-polluted water has been demonstrated by varying the morphologies of an imidazolium-based cationic polymeric network [ionic porous organic polymers (iPOP-5)]. Detailed morphological evolution showed that the chemically stable ionic polymer exhibited several morphologies such as spherical, nanotube, and flakes. Among them, the flakelike material [iPOP-5(F)] showed ultrafast capture efficiency (up to ∼99 and >85% removal within less than 1 min) with high saturation capacities (301 and 610 mg g-1) toward chromate [Cr(VI)] and perrhenate [Re(VII)] oxoanions, respectively, in water. On the other hand, the spherical-shaped polymer [iPOP-5(S)] exhibited relatively slow removal kinetics (>5 min for complete removal) toward both Cr(VI) and Re(VII) oxoanions. Notably, iPOP-5(F) eliminated Cr(VI) and Re(VII) selectively even in the presence of excessive (∼100-fold) competing anions from both high- and low-concentration contaminated water. Further, the compound demonstrated efficient separation of those oxoanions in a wide pH range as well as in various water systems (such as potable, lake, river, sea, and tannery water) with superior regeneration ability. Moreover, as a proof of concept, a column exchange-based water treatment experiment by iPOP-5(F) has been performed to reduce the concentration of Cr(VI) and Re(VII) below the WHO permitted level. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the rare in situ exfoliation of flakes into thin nanosheets helps to achieve ultrafast capture efficiency. In addition, detailed theoretical binding energy calculations were executed in order to understand such rapid, selective binding of chromate and perrhenate oxoanions with iPOP-5(F) over other nonmetal-based anions.

Abstract
Recycling precious metals from electronic waste not only benefits environmental protection, but is also favorable for alleviating resource shortages. Ionic porous organic polymers, as one type of burgeoning material, are regarded as excellent adsorbents due to their high ion density, but their application in precious metal recovery is still very limited. Here, V-PPOP-Br, a highly stable and easy-to-build cationic porous organic polymer, was successfully prepared for the first time. By linking porphyrins with viologens, V-PPOP-Br obtained the characteristics of a hierarchical porous structure, a high ion density skeleton, and a rich nitrogen content, which gave it an ultrahigh adsorption capacity (Qmax = 792.22 mg g-1) and rapid adsorption rate for Au(III). V-PPOP-Br also had an effective Au(III) recovery capability from SIM cards. Mechanism investigation confirmed that this remarkable adsorption performance was attributed to the interplay of ion exchange, redox reactions and coordination. Moreover, V-PPOP-Br had excellent recyclability and could maintain an ultrahigh adsorption efficiency of 81% after eight consecutive adsorption-desorption experiments. These excellent performances as well as the roughly calculated gold recycling economics ($37.37/g V-PPOP-Br) confirmed that it possesses promising potential as an ionic porous material for gold recovery.

Abstract
Many biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases are difficult to detect because they often exist in body fluids in very low concentrations and are masked by high-abundance proteins such as albumin and immunoglobulins. At the same time, water pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems, but the existing adsorption materials have many shortcomings such as slow kinetics, small adsorption capacity and low adsorption efficiency. Nanotraps, mixed with gases or liquids, can capture and concentrate target substances, such as biomolecules, metal ions and oxoanions. Using nanotraps is a versatile sample pre-processing approach and it can improve the sensitivity of downstream analysis techniques. Herein, the preparations and applications of different types of nanotraps are mainly introduced. What's more, the shortcomings of using nanotraps in practical applications are also discussed. Using nanotraps is a promising sample pre-processing technology, which is of great significance for biomarkers discovery, diseases diagnosis, sewage purification and valuable ions recovery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review collates and summarizes the preparations and applications of different types of nanotraps, and discusses the shortcomings of using nanotraps in practical applications. Nanotraps, mixed with gases or liquids, can capture and concentrate target materials, such as biomolecules, metal ions and oxoanions. Using nanotraps is a versatile sample pre-processing approach and it can improve the sensitivity of downstream analysis techniques. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hydrogel nanotraps were successfully utilized for RT-PCR analysis with the FDA Emergency Used Authorization for COVID-19. Using nanotraps is a promising sample pre-processing technology, which is of great significance for biomarkers discovery, diseases diagnosis, sewage purification and valuable ions recovery.

Imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) are a promising candidate for efficient separation of radioactive pertechnetate (TcO4-) from nuclear waste. However, their effective fixation, availability of active sites and slow adsorption kinetics remain challenges. Here, we incorporated the bisimidazolium-based ILs into porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via a combination of immersion grinding and in-situ polymerization. 3,3'-divinyl-1,1'(1,4-butanediyl) diimidazolium dichloride is tightly bound inside and outside the porous MOFs matrix by uniform immersion grinding, which facilitates the exposure of more adsorption sites and provides channels for the anions to travel through quickly. Solvent-free polymerization reduces environmental pollution and energy consumption. Notably, the composite P[C4(VIM)2]Cl2@MIL-101 possesses an admirable removal efficiency (673 mg g-1) compared with the pristine poly(ionic liquid)s (215 mg g-1). Meanwhile, it exhibits fast sorption kinetics (92% in 2 min), good β and γ radiation-resistance, excellent regeneration and eminent removal efficiency in high alkaline conditions (83%). These superior traits endow that P[C4(VIM)2]Cl2@MIL-101 effectively separated TcO4- from simulated Hanford Low-activity Waste (LAW) Melter off-gas scrubber solution tested in this work. DFT density functional theory confirms that the strong electrostatic attraction and minimum Gibbs free energy (-6.2 kcal mol-1) achieve high selective adsorption for TcO4-. P[C4(VIM)2]Cl2@MIL-101 demonstrates the considerable potential to remove TcO4- from radioactive contaminants.
