Nat Commun 2024; 15:8681. [PMID: 39375328 PMCID: PMC11458626 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52920-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Selective separation of 137Cs is significant for the sustainable development of nuclear energy and environmental protection, due to its strong radioactivity and long half-life. However, selective capture of 137Cs+ from radioactive liquid waste is challenging due to strong coulomb interactions between the adsorbents and high-valency metal ions. Herein, we propose a strategy to resolve this issue and achieve specific Cs+ ion recognition and separation by modulating the stacking modes of layered perovskites. We demonstrate that among niobate-based perovskites, ALaNb2O7 (A = Cs, H, K, and Li), HLaNb2O7 shows an outstanding selectivity for Cs+ even in the presence of a large amount of competing Mn+ ions (Mn+ = K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Eu3+, and Zr4+) owing to its suitable void fraction and space shape, brought by the stacking mode of layers. The Cs+ capture mechanism is directly elucidated at molecular level by single-crystal structural analyses and density functional theory calculations. This work not only provides key insights in the design and property optimization of perovskite-type materials for radiocesium separation, but also paves the way for the development of efficient inorganic materials for radionuclides remediation.

All-in-one treatment: Capture and immobilization of 137Cs by ultra-stable inorganic solid acid materials HMMoO 6·nH 2O (M = Ta, Nb). WATER RESEARCH 2024; 255:121459.

Abstract
Capture and immobilization of 137Cs is urgent for radioactive contamination remediation and spent fuel treatment. Herein, an effective all-in-one treatment method to simultaneously adsorb and immobilize Cs+ without high-temperature treatment is proposed. According to the strategy of incorporating high-valency metal ions into molybdates to increase the material stability and affinity towards radionuclides, layered HMMoO6·nH2O (M = Ta (1), Nb (2)) are prepared. Both materials exhibit excellent acid resistance (even 15 mol/L HNO3). They maintain remarkable adsorption capacity for Cs+ in 1 mol/L HNO3 solutions and can selectively capture Cs+ under excessive competitive ions. Furthermore, they show successful cleanup for actual 137Cs-liquid-wastes generated during industrial production. In particular, adsorbed Cs+ can be firmly immobilized in interlayer spaces of materials due to the highly stable anionic framework. The removal mechanism is attributed to ion exchange between Cs+ and interlayer H+ by multiple characterizations. Study of the structure-function relationship shows that the occurrence of Cs+ ion exchange is closely related to plate-like layered structure. This work develops an efficient all-in-one treatment method for capturing and immobilizing radiocesium by ultra-stable inorganic solid acid materials with low energy consumption and high safety for radionuclide remediation.

Abstract
The problem of global water pollution and scarcity of water resources is becoming increasingly serious. Multifunctional perovskites can well drive adsorption and photocatalytic reactions to remove water pollutants. There are many advantages of perovskites, such as abundant oxygen vacancies, easily tunable structural morphology, stable crystal state, highly active metal sites, and a wide photo response range. However, there are few reviews on the simultaneous application of perovskite to adsorption and photocatalytic removal of water pollutants. Thus, this paper discusses the preparation methods of perovskite, the factors affecting the adsorption of water environmental pollutants by perovskite, and the factors affecting perovskite photocatalytic water pollutants. The particle size, specific surface area, oxygen vacancies, electron-hole trapping agents, potentials of the valence band, and conduction band in perovskites are significant influencing factors for adsorption and photocatalysis. Strategies for improving the performance of perovskites in the fields of adsorption and photocatalysis are discussed. The adsorption behaviors and catalytic mechanisms are also investigated, including adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, electrostatic interaction, ion exchange, chemical bonding, and photocatalytic mechanism. It summarizes the removal of water pollutants by using perovskites. It provides the design of perovskites as high-efficiency adsorbents and catalysts for developing new technologies.
