Abstract
To develop nuclear energy sustainably, it is important to effectively capture radioiodine in nuclear waste. In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculations to investigate how well the uranyl-organic framework (UOF) could capture radioiodine. We found that the uranyl center and C-N ring sites in both cluster and periodic UOF models are very attractive to the I2 molecule. The adsorption energies of the I2 molecule in the periodic UOF models are as high as -1.10 eV, which is much higher than in the cluster model. The interaction characteristics between the I2 molecule and the UOF were revealed by electronic density topological analyses. Our AIMD simulations at 300 and 600 K have confirmed that the UOF has high adsorption kinetics for I2 molecules and can effectively capture them. The UOF has a high adsorption capacity and good adsorption stability for the I2 molecule, making it a promising option for the environmentally friendly removal of radioiodine.

Abstract
Water constitutes an indispensable resource for global life but remains susceptible to pollution from diverse human activities. To mitigate this issue, researchers are committed to purifying water using a variety of materials to remove harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with their intriguing, layered structure and chemical behavior, have attained substantial attention for their effectiveness in removing heavy metal cations and various inorganic oxoanions from water. To enhance the efficiency, considerable endeavors have focused on functionalizing LDHs with different chemical species. Intercalation with metal sulfides has proven to be particularly effective, facilitating heavy metal absorption through multiple mechanisms, including ion-exchange, reductive precipitation, and surface sorption. This review concentrates on the synthesis and performance of polysulfide (Sx, x = 2-5), Mo-S, and Sn-S anion intercalated LDHs for heavy metal cations and inorganic oxoanion sorption, along with their mechanisms. Furthermore, the discussion includes prospects for expanding the chemistry of metal sulfide intercalated LDHs, with existing challenges and future outlooks.

Abstract
Nuclear energy holds great potential to facilitate the global energy transition and alleviate the increasing environmental issues due to its high energy density, stable energy output, and carbon-free emission merits. Despite being limited by the insufficient terrestrial uranium reserves, uranium extraction from seawater (UES) can offset the gap. However, the low uranium concentration, the complicated uranium speciation, the competitive metal ions, and the inevitable marine interference remarkably affect the kinetics, capacity, selectivity, and sustainability of UES materials. To date, massive efforts have been made with varying degrees of success to pursue a desirable UES performance on various nanomaterials. Nevertheless, comprehensive and systematic coverage and discussion on the emerging UES materials presenting the fast-growing progress of this field is still lacking. This review thus challenges this position and emphatically focuses on this topic covering the current mainstream UES technologies with the emerging UES materials. Specifically, this review elucidates the causality between the physiochemical properties of UES materials induced by the intellectual design strategies and the UES performances and further dissects the relationships of materials-properties-activities and the corresponding mechanisms in depth. This review is envisaged to inspire innovative ideas and bring technical solutions for developing technically and economically viable UES materials.

Abstract
Thorium (Th) and uranium (U) are important strategic resources in nuclear energy-based heavy industries such as energy and defense sectors that also generate significant radioactive waste in the process. The management of nuclear waste is therefore of paramount importance. Contamination of groundwater/surface water by Th/U is increasing at an alarming rate in certain geographical locations. This necessitates the development of strategic adsorbent materials with improved performance for capturing Th/U species from radioactive waste and groundwater. This report describes the design of a unique, robust, and radiation-resistant porous organic polymer (POP: TP-POP-SO3NH4), which demonstrates ultrafast removal of Th(IV) (<30 s)/U(VI) (<60 s) species present in simulated radioactive wastewater/groundwater samples. Thermal, chemical, and radiation stabilities of these POPs were studied in detail. The synthesized ammoniated POP revealed exceptional capture efficiency for trace-level Th (<4 ppb) and U (<3 ppb) metal ions through the cation-exchange mechanism. TP-POP-SO3NH4 shows a significant sorption capacity [Th (787 mg/g) and U (854 mg/g)] with an exceptionally high distribution coefficient (Kd) of 107 mL/g for Th. This work also demonstrates a facile protocol to convert a nonperforming POP, by simple chemical modifications, into a superfast adsorbent for efficient uptake/removal of U/Th.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are a subclass of porous framework materials that have been used for a wide variety of applications in sensing, catalysis, and remediation. Among these myriad applications is their remarkable ability to capture substances in a variety of environments ranging from benign to extreme. Among the most common and problematic substances found throughout the world's oceans and water supplies is [UO2]2+, a common mobile ion of uranium, which is found both naturally and as a result of anthropogenic activities, leading to problematic environmental contamination. While some MOFs possess high capability for the uptake of [UO2]2+, many more of the thousands of MOFs and their modifications that have been produced over the years have yet to be studied for their ability to uptake [UO2]2+. However, studying the thousands of MOFs and their modifications presents an incredibly difficult task. As such, a way to narrow down the numbers seems imperative. Herein, we evaluate the binding behaviors as well as identify the specific binding sites of [UO2]2+ incorporated into six different Zr MOFs to elucidate specific features that improve [UO2]2+ uptake. In doing so, we also present a method for the determination and verification of these binding sites by Anomalous wide-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This research not only presents a way for future research into the uptake of [UO2]2+ into MOFs to be conducted but also a means to evaluate MOFs more generally for the uptake of other compounds to be applied for environmental remediation and improvement of ecosystems globally.

Abstract
Polluted water has become a concern for the scientific community as it causes many severe threats to living beings. Detection or removal of contaminants present in wastewater and attaining purity of water that can be used for various purposes are a primary responsibility. Different treatment methods have already been used for the purification of sewage. There is a need for low-cost, highly selective, and reusable materials that can efficiently remove pollutants or purify contaminated water. In this regard, MOFs have shown significant potential for applications such as supercapacitors, drug delivery, gas storage, pollutant adsorption, etc. The outstanding structural diversity, substantial surface areas, and adjustable pore sizes of MOFs make them superior candidates for wastewater treatment. This Review provides an overview of the interaction science and engineering (kinetic and thermodynamic aspects with interactions) underpinning MOFs for water purification. First, fundamental strategies for the synthesis methods of MOFs, different categories, and their applicability in wastewater treatment are summarized, followed by a detailed explanation of various interaction mechanisms. Finally, current challenges and future outlooks for research on MOF materials toward the adsorption of hazardous components are discussed. A new avenue for modifying their structural characteristics for the adsorption and separation of hazardous materials, which will undoubtedly direct future work, is also summarized.

Abstract
The directed construction of productive adsorbents is essential to avoid damaging human health from the harmful radioactive and toxic U(VI)-containing wastewater. Herein, a sort of Zr-based metal organic framework (MOF) called PCN-222 was synthesized and oxime functionalized based on directed molecular structure design to synthesize an efficient adsorbent with antimicrobial activity, named PCN-222-OM, for recovering U(VI) from wastewater. PCN-222-OM unfolded splendid adsorption capacity (403.4 mg·g-1) at pH = 6.0 because of abundant holey structure and mighty chelation for oxime groups with U(VI) ions. PCN-222-OM also exhibited outstanding selectivity and reusability during the adsorption. The XPS spectra authenticated the -NH and oxime groups which revealed a momentous function. Concurrently, PCN-222-OM also possessed good antimicrobial activity, antibiofouling activity, and environmental safety; adequately decreased detrimental repercussions about bacteria and Halamphora on adsorption capacity; and met non-toxic and non-hazardous requirements for the application. The splendid antimicrobial activity and antibiofouling activity perhaps arose from the Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(H2O)4(OH)4 clusters and rich functional groups within PCN-222-OM. Originally proposed PCN-222-OM was one potentially propitious material to recover U(VI) in wastewater on account of outstanding adsorption capacity, antimicrobial activity, antibiofouling activity, and environmental safety, meanwhile providing a newfangled conception on the construction of peculiar efficient adsorbent.

Abstract
Effluent from nuclear power plants, rocks, and minerals contains hazardous radionuclides that adversely affect human health and seriously threaten the environment. To address this issue, simple, economic, and sustainable magnetite nanoparticle loaded sodium alginate copper metal-organic framework composite beads (MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads) have been designed, and their performance has been evaluated under varying conditions of pH, time, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration and have been studied by batch adsorption studies for optimizing the adsorption conditions. In this work, MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads have been prepared in situ for the adsorptive removal of uranium [U(VI)] and thorium [Th(IV)] ions from an aqueous solution. The synthesized MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads were characterized by model analytical techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Here, 6 mg of adsorbent with 10 mL of 50 mg/L uranium and thorium ion solution at pH 5 was capable of removing the U(VI) and Th(IV) ions with 99.9 and 97.7% removal efficiencies, respectively. The obtained results showed that the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent for U(VI) and Th(IV) follows pseudo-second-order kinetics, and Langmuir isotherm fitted well with a maximum adsorption capacity of 454.54 and 434.78 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption mechanism indicated that electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding are the main driving forces for removing the U(VI) and Th(IV) ions. It can be reused for up to 10 adsorption-desorption cycles with minimal loss of removal efficiency. The easy synthesis method of MNPs-SA@Cu MOF composite beads and the high removal efficiency of U(VI) and Th(IV) ions reveal that they can potentially treat radionuclide waste effectively.

Abstract
An interpenetrated tetraphenylethylene-based fluorescent metal-organic framework (ECUT-180) with exceptional sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and fast response (less than 30 s) toward uranium was successfully prepared. Especially, in the prescence of uranyl, ECUT-180 displays significant fluorescence turn-on under pH 2-3, while fluorescence turn-off under pH 4-8. The corresponding detection limits were determined to be 2.92 ppb at pH 2 and 0.86 ppb at pH 8, both of which are lower than the average uranium content (3.3 ppb) in seawater. Mechanism investigation reveals that the fluorescence enhancement on the strong acid condition can be assigned to uranium adsorption, while the quenching is caused by the resonance energy transfer.

Abstract
The limited availability of effective agents for removing actinides from the lungs significantly restricts the effectiveness of medical treatments for nuclear emergencies. Inhalation is the primary route of internal contamination in 44.3% of actinide-related accidents, leading to the accumulation of radionuclides in the lungs and resulting in infections and potential tumor formation (tumorigenesis). This study focuses on the synthesis of a nanometal-organic framework (nMOF) material called ZIF-71-COOH, which is achieved by post-synthetic carboxyl functionalization of ZIF-71. The material demonstrates high and selective adsorption of uranyl, while also exhibiting increased particle size (≈2100 nm) when it aggregates in the blood, enabling passive targeting of the lungs through mechanical filtration. This unique property facilitates the rapid enrichment and selective recognition of uranyl, making nano ZIF-71-COOH highly effective in removing uranyl from the lungs. The findings of this study highlight the potential of self-aggregated nMOFs as a promising drug delivery system for targeted uranium decorporation in the lungs.

Abstract
Population growth, urbanization, and decarbonization efforts are collectively straining the supply of limited resources that are necessary to produce batteries, electronics, chemicals, fertilizers, and other important products. Securing the supply chains of these critical resources via the development of separation technologies for their recovery represents a major global challenge to ensure stability and security. Surface water, groundwater, and wastewater are emerging as potential new sources to bolster these supply chains. Recently, a variety of material-based technologies have been developed and employed for separations and resource recovery in water. Judicious selection and design of these materials to tune their properties for targeting specific solutes is central to realizing the potential of water as a source for critical resources. Here, the materials that are developed for membranes, sorbents, catalysts, electrodes, and interfacial solar steam generators that demonstrate promise for applications in critical resource recovery are reviewed. In addition, a critical perspective is offered on the grand challenges and key research directions that need to be addressed to improve their practical viability.

Abstract
Efficient removal of uranyl ions from wastewater requires excellent selectivity of the adsorbents. Herein, we report a new strategy using a high monomer/template molar ratio of 500:1 to prepare surface ion-imprinted brewer's spent grain (IIP-BSG) for selective U(VI) removal using binary functional monomers (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and diethyl vinylphosphonate) with high site accessibility and easy template removal. IIP-BSG exhibits a maximum U(VI) adsorption capacity of 165.7 mg/g, a high selectivity toward U(VI) in the presence of an excess amount of Eu(III) (Eu/U molar ratio = 20), a good tolerance of salinity, and a high reusability. In addition, mechanism studies have revealed electrostatic interaction and a coordination of uranyl ions by carboxyl and phosphoryl groups, the predominant contribution of high-energy (specific) sites during selective adsorption, and internal mass transfer as the rate-controlling step of U(VI) adsorption. Furthermore, IIP-BSG shows great potentials to separate U(VI) from lanthanides in simulated nuclear wastewater (pH0 = 3.5) and selectively concentrate U(VI) from simulated mine water (pH0 = 7.1). This study proves that the ion-imprinting effect can be achieved using a very low template amount with reduced production cost and secondary pollution, which benefits large-scale promotion of the ion-imprinted materials for selective uranyl ions removal.

Abstract
Dissolved uranium in groundwater at high concentrations is an emerging global threat to human and ecological health due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity. Uranium can enter groundwater by geochemical reactions, natural deposition from minerals, mining, uranium ore processing, and spent fuel disposal. Although much progress has been made in uranium remediation in recent years, most published reviews on uranium treatment have focused on specific methods, particularly adsorption. This article systematically reviews the major treatment technologies, explains their mechanism and progress of uranium removal, and compares their performance under various environmental conditions. Of all treatment methods, adsorption has received much attention due to its ease of use and adaptability under various conditions. However, salinity and competition from other ions limit its application in actual field conditions. Biosorption and bioremediation are also promising methods due to their low-cost and chemical-free operation. Strong base anion exchange resins are more effective at typical groundwater pH conditions. Advanced oxidation processes like photocatalysis produce less sludge and are effective even at low uranium concentrations. Electrocoagulation shows significantly improved performance when organic ligands are added prior to treatment. The significant advantages of membrane filtration are high removal efficiency and the ability to recover uranium. While each technology has its merits and demerits, no single technology is entirely suitable under all conditions. One major area of concern with all technologies is the need to dispose of liquid and solid waste generated after treatment safely. Future research must focus on developing hybrid and state-of-the-art technologies for effective and sustainable uranium removal from groundwater. Developing holistic management strategies for uranium removal will hinge on understanding its speciation, mechanisms of fate and transport, and socio-economic conditions of the affected areas.

Abstract
The steady supply of uranium resources and the reduction or elimination of the ecological and human health hazards of wastewater containing uranium make the recovery and detection of uranium in water greatly important. Thus, the development of effective adsorbents and sensors has received growing attention. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possessing fascinating characteristics such as high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, and luminescence have been widely used for either uranium adsorption or sensing. Now pertinent research has transited slowly into simultaneous uranium adsorption and detection. In this review, the progress on the research of MOF-based materials used for both adsorption and detection of uranium in water is first summarized. The adsorption mechanisms between uranium species in aqueous solution and MOF-based materials are elaborated by macroscopic batch experiments combined with microscopic spectral technology. Moreover, the application of MOF-based materials as uranium sensors is focused on their typical structures, sensing mechanisms, and the representative examples. Furthermore, the bifunctional MOF-based materials used for simultaneous detection and adsorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution are introduced. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of MOF-based materials for uranium adsorption and detection to provide a useful inspiration and significant reference for further developing better adsorbents and sensors for uranium containment and detection.

Abstract
With the fast development of industry and nuclear energy, large amounts of different radionuclides are inevitably released into the environment. The efficient solidification or elimination of radionuclides is thereby crucial to environmental pollution and human health because of the radioactive hazardous of long-lived radionuclides. The properties of negatively or positively charged radionuclides are quite different, which informs the difficulty of simultaneous elimination of the radionuclides. Herein, we summarized recent works about the selective sorption or catalytic reduction of target radionuclides using different kinds of nanomaterials, such as carbon-based nanomaterials, metal–organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks, and their interaction mechanisms are discussed in detail on the basis of batch sorption results, spectroscopy analysis and computational calculations. The sorption-photocatalytic/electrocatalytic reduction of radionuclides from high valent to low valent is an efficient strategy for in situ solidification/immobilization of radionuclides. The special functional groups for the high complexation of target radionuclides and the controlled structures of nanomaterials can selectively bind radionuclides from complicated systems. The challenges and future perspective are finally described, summarized, and discussed.

Abstract
The material for managing and monitoring waste made from the waste itself is an excellent example of cyclic utilization, which could reduce issues and be more sustainable. A three-dimensional porous uranyl phosphonate MOF (UPF-105) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. UPF-105 is stable in aqueous solution with pH in the range of 1-11 and maintains crystallinity below 215 °C. The uncoordinated phosphonate groups in the channels act as functional anchors to selectively capture uranyl ions, with a maximum uranium adsorption capacity of 170.23 mg g-1. The fluorescence of UPF-105 makes it a good candidate for a uranyl ion sensor in uranium-contaminated solutions with concentrations in the range of 5-90 ppm.

Abstract
A series of Zr-based UiO-n MOF materials (n=66, 67, 68) have been studied for iodine capture. Gaseous iodine adsorption was collected kinetically from a home-made set-up allowing the continuous measurement of iodine content trapped within UiO-n compounds, with organic functionalities (-H, -CH3 , -Cl, -Br, -(OH)2 , -NO2 , -NH2 , (-NH2 )2 , -CH2 NH2 ) by in-situ UV-Vis spectroscopy. This study emphasizes the role of the amino groups attached to the aromatic rings of the ligands connecting the {Zr6 O4 (OH)4 } brick. In particular, the preferential interaction of iodine with lone-pair groups, such as amino functions, has been experimentally observed and is also based on DFT calculations. Indeed, higher iodine contents were systematically measured for amino-functionalized UiO-66 or UiO-67, compared to the pristine material (up to 1211 mg/g for UiO-67-(NH2 )2 ). However, DFT calculations revealed the highest computed interaction energies for alkylamine groups (-CH2 NH2 ) in UiO-67 (-128.5 kJ/mol for the octahedral cavity), and pointed out the influence of this specific functionality compared with that of an aromatic amine. The encapsulation of iodine within the pore system of UiO-n materials and their amino-derivatives has been analyzed by UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy. We showed that a systematic conversion of molecular iodine (I2 ) species into anionic I- ones, stabilized as I- ⋅⋅⋅I2 or I3 - complexes within the MOF cavities, occurs when I2 @UiO-n samples are left in ambient light.

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
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a high surface area and excellent stability are potential candidates for uranium (U) adsorption. Amidoxime (AO) is the most widely used functional group to extract U, which is usually introduced into MOFs by two-step post-synthetic methods (PSMs). Herein, MOF UiO-66-NH-(AO) was obtained by a one-step PSM with amidoximation from UiO-66-NH-(CN), which was synthesized by a new organic ligand of 2-cyano-terephthalic acid and whose morphology was octahedron and could be well controlled with the new ligand. The one-step PSM can greatly maintain the octahedron of the MOFs. What is more, UiO-66-NH-(AO) showed good adsorption performance for U, the adsorption equilibrium was obtained within 1500 min, and the adsorption capacity of U was calculated to be 134.1 mg/g according to the Langmuir model. It also had excellent selectivity for U in the presence of high concentrations of vanadium (V), ferrum (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and zirconium (Zr). The adsorption capacity of U in natural seawater was determined to be 5.2 mg/g within 8 days. The recyclability of UiO-66-NH-(AO) in simulated seawater was demonstrated for at least four adsorption/desorption cycles. The binding mechanism was investigated by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, revealing that U binding occurs in a fashion η2 motif. This study provides a reliable idea for the modification of MOFs and the potential for MOF-based materials to extract U from seawater.

Abstract
Two lanthanide-containing porous coordination polymers, [Ln2(bpdc)6(phen)2]·nH2O (1) and [Ln2(bpdc)6(terpy)2]·3H2O (2) (Ln = Pr, Nd, or Sm-Dy; bpdc: 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid; phen: 1,10-phenanthroline; and terpy: 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic analyses reveal that compounds 1 and 2 feature Ln3+-containing dimeric nodes that form a porous two-dimensional (2D) and nonporous three-dimensional (3D) framework, respectively. Each material is stable in aqueous media between pH 3 and 10 and exhibits modest thermal stability up to ∼400 °C. Notably, a portion of the phen and bpdc ligands in 1 can be removed thermally, without compromising the crystal structure, causing the surface area and pore volume to increase. The optical properties of 1 and 2 with Gd3+, Sm3+, Tb3+, and Eu3+ are explored in the solid state using absorbance, fluorescence, and lifetime spectroscopies. The analyses reveal a complex blend of metal and ligand emission in the materials containing Sm3+ and Tb3+, while those featuring Eu3+ are dominated by intense metal-based emission. Compound 1 with Eu3+ shows promise for the capture and detection of the uranyl cation (UO2)2+ from aqueous media. In short, uranyl capture is observed at pH 4, and the adsorption thereof is detectable via vibrational and fluorescence spectroscopies and colorimetrically as the off-white color of 1 turns yellow with uptake. Finally, both 1 and 2 with Eu3+ produce bright red emission upon irradiation with Cu Kα X-ray radiation (8.04 keV) and are candidate materials for applications in solid-state scintillation.

Abstract
HKUST-1@CMC (HK@CMC) composites that show good acid and alkali resistance and radiation resistance were successfully synthesized by introducing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) onto the surface of HKUST-1 using a foaming strategy. For the first time, the composites were explored as efficient adsorbents for U(VI) trapping from aqueous solution, with encouraging results of large adsorption capacity, fast adsorption kinetics, and desirable selectivity toward U(VI) over a series of competing ions. More importantly, a hybrid derivative film was successfully prepared for the dynamic adsorption of U(VI). The results show that ∼90% U(VI) can be removed when 45 mg L-1 U(VI) was passed through the film one time, and the removal percentage is still more than 80% even after four adsorption-desorption cycles, ranking one of the most practical U(VI) scavengers. This work offers new clues for application of the Metal-organic-framework-based materials in the separation of radionuclides from wastewater.

Abstract
The novel MnxTi1-xOy composite materials with different mole ratios (Mn to Ti = 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3) were prepared to remove uranium species from wastewater. These composite materials were characterized by various techniques, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the chitosan in MnxTi1-x-Chi were completely removed after calcination at 650 °C and MnxTi1-xOy composites possessed uniform distribution of the porous structure as well as plentiful hydroxyl-containing groups. Moreover, the as-prepared MnxTi1-xOy composite materials were applied to remove uranium from solution to evaluate the adsorption performance. It was found that the Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy possessed relatively excellent uptake performance for uranium comparing with the Mn0.3Ti0.7Oy and Mn0.7Ti0.3Oy and its maximum uptake capacity and efficiency reach 695.2 mg/g and 98.6% (pH = 4, m/V = 0.1 g/L, T = 298 K), respectively, which were much superior than most of reported materials based on titanium oxide or manganese oxide. Besides, the uranium uptake on Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy was independent on ionic strength and it had considerable reusability, which might be the necessary condition for Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy to be applied in uranium uptake from uranium-containing wastewater. As a candidate adsorbent, Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy possessed a high potentiality to remove uranium from wastewater.

Abstract
With the rapid growth of population and industrialization, the energy crisis and environmental pollution as two main difficulties urgently need to be solved nowadays. The development and utilization of nuclear energy is of great significance for solving energy support, national security and environmental protection. As the raw material of nuclear energy, a lot of uranium in seawater provide a guarantee for the sustainable and green development of nuclear power plants. Recently, various new carbon-based materials (e.g., carbon nanofibers, multiwalled carbon nanotube, graphene) have been attracted widely intense interest in extraction of uranium from seawater due to large specific surface area, excellent acid-base resistance, high adsorption performance, environmental friendly and low cost. Thus, the systematic reviews concerning the extraction of uranium from seawater on various carbon-based materials were highly desirable. In this review, the extraction methods of uranium from seawater, including electrochemical, photocatalytic and adsorption methods are briefly introduced. Then the application and mechanism of four generation carbon-based materials on the extraction of uranium from seawater are systematically reviewed in details. Finally, the current challenges and future trends of uranium extraction from seawaters are proposed. This review provides the guideline for designing carbon-based materials with high adsorption capacity and exceptional selectivity for U(VI) extraction from seawater.

Abstract
Uranium recovery has profound significance in both uranium resource acquisition and pollution treatment. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention as potential uranium adsorbents owing to their tunable structural topology and designable functionalities. This review explores the research progress in representative classic MOFs (MIL-101, UiO-66, ZIF-8/ZIF-67) and other advanced MOF-based materials for efficient uranium extraction in aqueous or seawater environments. The uranium uptake mechanism of the MOF-based materials is refined, and the structure/functionality-property relationship is further systematically elucidated. By summarizing the typical functionalization and structure design methods, the performance improvement strategies for MOF-based adsorbents are emphasized. Finally, the present challenges and potential opportunities are proposed for the breakthrough of high-performance MOF-based materials in uranium extraction.

Abstract
A novel cationic metal-organic framework composed of {Cu2(COO)4} paddle-wheel units and a tetracarboxylic viologen derivative, namely, {[Cu2(bdcbp)(H2O)2]·2NO3·2H2O}n (Cu-CMOF, H4bdcbpCl2 = 1,1'-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride), has been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. In Cu-CMOF, the {Cu2(COO)4} unit and viologen derivative both act as four-connected nodes forming an ssb-type cationic network with 42.84 topology, in which the positive charges are distributed on the organic viologen moieties. Deeper insight of the structure indicates that the 3D architecture of Cu-CMOF can be seen as packing of a 26-faceted polyhedral cage and two cuboid cages. Notably, Cu-CMOF displays a highly efficient anion exchange ability for capture and removal of anionic pollutants. UV-vis absorption spectra and digital images demonstrate that Cu-CMOF is capable of adsorbing the dichromate anion and anionic dyes effectively, such as methyl orange (MO-), Congo red (CR2-), and New Coccine (NC3-). Meaningfully, anionic dyes (MO-, CR2-, and NC3-) can be efficiently and selectively removed by Cu-CMOF in the presence of cationic dye methylene blue (MLB+). Such behaviors of anionic pollutant adsorption and dye separation are mainly caused by an ion-exchange process facilitated by the large cavity and decentralized distribution of positive charge in Cu-CMOF.

Abstract
A novel composite material (nZVI/UiO-66) of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) with a functionalized metal-organic framework was synthesized by this study via a coprecipitation method, which was used for the efficient removal of U(VI) in the aqueous solution. The nZVI/UiO-66 had an excellent removal capacity of 404.86 mg g-1 with an initial U(VI) concentration of 80 mg L-1, 313 K and pH = 6. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that nZVI particles were inhomogeneously distributed on the surface of UiO-66. The analysis by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) has further illustrated that the introduction of nZVI did not change the structure of UiO-66. The adsorption process closely followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Freundlich isotherm model. The removal process of U(VI) by nZVI/UiO-66 was spontaneous and endothermic. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses have illustrated that the mechanism was mainly related to adsorption of U(VI) from UiO-66 and reduction of U(VI) by nZVI. The Zr-O bonds were shown to play a vital role in the uranium removal. nZVI/UiO-66 could be recycled. The uptake rate could be maintained at around 80% after 5 cycles of use. Therefore, these results manifested that the nZVI/UiO-66 is a promising sorbent for the efficient and selective removal of U(VI) in radioactive wastewaters.

Abstract
Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been reported as important porous materials for the potential utility in metal ion separation, coordinating the functionality, structure, and component of MOFs remains a great challenge. Herein, a series of anionic rare earth MOFs (RE-MOFs) were synthesized via a solvothermal template reaction and for the first time explored for uranium(VI) capture from an acidic medium. The unusually high extraction capacity of UO22+ (e.g., 538 mg U per g of Y-MOF) was achieved through ion-exchange with the concomitant release of Me2NH2+, during which the uranium(VI) extraction in the series of isostructural RE-MOFs was found to be highly sensitive to the ionic radii of the metal nodes. That is, the uranium(VI) adsorption capacities continuously increased as the ionic radii decreased. In-depth mechanism insight was obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, suggesting that both the accessible pore volume of the MOFs and hydrogen-bonding interactions contribute to the strong periodic tendency of uranium(VI) extraction.
