Palladium(II) Modulation Enhances the Water Stability and Aqueous 99TcO4-/ReO4- Removal Performance of Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Improving the water stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential for their use in water pollution treatment and environmental remediation, though it remains technically challenging. Herein, we report a novel cationic MOF constructed with [Th6O4(OH)4(COO)12] units and [CoN4·Cl2] units possessing a ftw-type topology (denoted as 1-Th-Co). 1-Th-Co itself exhibited poor water stability but excellent stability following a palladium(II) modulation strategy. Experimental studies reveal that Co(II) ions in 1-Th-Co were replaced by Pd(II) ions through cation exchange in N,N-diethylformamide (yielding 1-Th-Pd). The planar PdN4 units in 1-Th-Pd were responsible for improving the water stability of the framework. As a result, 1-Th-Pd offered excellent stability, fast adsorption kinetics, and high removal ratios for 99TcO4- and ReO4- (as a 99TcO4- surrogate) in contaminated water. When used in packed columns, 1-Th-Pd can dynamically capture ReO4- from groundwater. This work provides a new avenue for improving the water stability of MOFs, offering new vistas for the decontamination of aqueous solutions containing 99TcO4- and ReO4-.

Catalyst-Free Extraction of U(VI) in Solution by Tribocatalysis.

Extraction of U(VI) in water is of great significance in energy and environmental fields. However, the traditional methods usually fail due to the indispensable extra addition of catalyst, adsorbent, precipitant, or sacrificial agents, which may lead to enhanced extraction costs and secondary pollution. Here, a new efficient uranium extraction strategy is proposed based on triboelectricity without adding a catalyst or other additives. It is found only under the friction between the microbubbles (generated under ultrasonication) and the water flow, that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can largely be generated, which thus contributes to the solidification of U(VI) from water. In addition, the magnetic field can affect the phase of the product. Under mechanical stirring, the product contains (UO2)O2·2H2O, while which contains UO2(OH)2 and (UO2)O2·4H2O under the magnetic stirring. Quenching experiments are also carried out to explore the influence of environmental factors. Most importantly, it shows great potential in the extraction of U(VI) from seawater. This work proposes a catalyst-free and light-free strategy toward the solidification of U(VI) from water, which avoids the secondary pollution of the catalyst to the environment and is low-cost, and has great potential in the real application.

Open-Framework Vanadate as Efficient Ion Exchanger for Uranyl Removal.

The elimination of uranium from radioactive wastewater is crucial for the safe management and operation of environmental remediation. Here, we present a layered vanadate with high acid/base stability, [Me2NH2]V3O7, as an excellent ion exchanger capturing uranyl from highly complex aqueous solutions. The material possesses an indirect band gap, ferromagnetic characteristic and a flower-like morphology comprising parallel nanosheets. The layered structure of [Me2NH2]V3O7 is predominantly upheld by the H-bond interaction between anionic framework [V3O7]nn- and intercalated [Me2NH2]+. The [Me2NH2]+ within [Me2NH2]V3O7 can be readily exchanged with UO22+. [Me2NH2]V3O7 exhibits high exchange capacity (qm = 176.19 mg/g), fast kinetics (within 15 min), high removal efficiencies (>99%), and good selectivity against an excess of interfering ions. It also displays activity for UO22+ ion exchange over a wide pH range (2.00-7.12). More importantly, [Me2NH2]V3O7 has the capability to effectively remove low-concentration uranium, yielding a residual U concentration of 13 ppb, which falls below the EPA-defined acceptable limit of 30 ppb in typical drinking water. [Me2NH2]V3O7 can also efficiently separate UO22+ from Cs+ or Sr2+ achieving the highest separation factors (SFU/Cs of 589 and SFU/Sr of 227) to date. The BOMD and DFT calculations reveal that the driving force of ion exchange is dominated by the interaction between UO22+ and [V3O7]nn-, whereas the ion exchange rate is influenced by the mobility of UO22+ and [Me2NH2]+. Our experimental findings indicate that [Me2NH2]V3O7 can be considered as a promising uranium scavenger for environmental remediation. Additionally, the simulation results provide valuable mechanistic interpretations for ion exchange and serve as a reference for designing novel ion exchangers.

Engineering the pore environment of antiparallel stacked covalent organic frameworks for capture of iodine pollutants.

Radioiodine capture from nuclear fuel waste and contaminated water sources is of enormous environmental importance, but remains technically challenging. Herein, we demonstrate robust covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with antiparallel stacked structures, excellent radiation resistance, and high binding affinities toward I2, CH3I, and I3- under various conditions. A neutral framework (ACOF-1) achieves a high affinity through the cooperative functions of pyridine-N and hydrazine groups from antiparallel stacking layers, resulting in a high capacity of ~2.16 g/g for I2 and ~0.74 g/g for CH3I at 25 °C under dynamic adsorption conditions. Subsequently, post-synthetic methylation of ACOF-1 converted pyridine-N sites to cationic pyridinium moieties, yielding a cationic framework (namely ACOF-1R) with enhanced capacity for triiodide ion capture from contaminated water. ACOF-1R can rapidly decontaminate iodine polluted groundwater to drinking levels with a high uptake capacity of ~4.46 g/g established through column breakthrough tests. The cooperative functions of specific binding moieties make ACOF-1 and ACOF-1R promising adsorbents for radioiodine pollutants treatment under practical conditions.

COF-based membranes for liquid phase separation: Preparation, mechanism and perspective.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new kind of crystalline porous materials composed of organic molecules connected by covalent bonds, processes the characteristics of low density, large specific surface area, adjustable pore size and structure, and easy to functionalize, which have been widely used in the field of membrane separation technology. Recently, there are more and more researches focusing on the preparation methods, separation application, and mechanism of COF membranes, which need to be further summarized and compared. In this review, we primarily summarized several conventional preparation methods, such as two-phase interfacial polymerization, in-situ growth on substrate, unidirectional diffusion method, layer-by-layer assembly method, mixed matrix membranes, and so on. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are briefly summarized. The application potential of COF membrane in liquid separation are introduced from four aspects: dyeing wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, seawater desalination and oil-water separation. Then, the mechanisms including pore structure, hydrophilic/hydrophobic, electrostatic repulsion/attraction and Donnan effect are introduced. For the efficient removal of different kind of pollutions, researchers can select different ligands to construct membranes with specific pore size, hydrophily, salt or organic rejection ability and functional group. The ideas for the design and preparation of COF membranes are introduced. Finally, the future direction and challenges of the next generation of COF membranes in the field of separation are prospected.

Pore Space Partition Synthetic Strategy in Imine-linked Multivariate Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Partitioning the pores of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is an attractive strategy for introducing microporosity and achieving new functionality, but it is technically challenging to achieve. Herein, we report a simple strategy for partitioning the micropores/mesopores of multivariate COFs. Our approach relies on the predesign and synthesis of multicomponent COFs through imine condensation reactions with aldehyde groups anchored in the COF pores, followed by inserting additional symmetric building blocks (with C2 or C3 symmetries) as pore partition agents. This approach allowed tetragonal or hexagonal pores to be partitioned into two or three smaller micropores, respectively. The synthesized library of pore-partitioned COFs was then applied for the capture of iodine pollutants (i.e., I2 and CH3I). This rich inventory allowed deep exploration of the relationships between the COF adsorbent composition, pore architecture, and adsorption capacity for I2 and CH3I capture under wide-ranging conditions. Notably, one of our developed pore-partitioned COFs (COF 3-2P) exhibited greatly enhanced dynamic I2 and CH3I adsorption performances compared to its parent COF (COF 3) in breakthrough tests, setting a new benchmark for COF-based adsorbents. Results present an effective design strategy toward functional COFs with tunable pore environments, functions, and properties.

Recent strategies, progress, and prospects of two-dimensional metal carbides (MXenes) materials in wastewater purification: A review.

With the rapid development of industrialization, water pollution directly leads to the serious shortage of fresh water.

Finally, the perspectives on future opportunities for designing COMs in water purification have been proposed.

With the rapid development of nuclear technology and peaceful utilization of nuclear energy, plentiful U(VI) not only is required to be extracted from solutions for a sustainable nuclear fuel supply but also is inevitably released into the surrounding environment to result in pollution and threaten human health. Thereby, realizing selective extraction of U(VI) from aqueous solutions is crucial for U(VI) pollution control and a sustainable nuclear industry.

Information about the interaction mechanisms between U(VI) and MOF-based materials are analyzed in-depth, including experiments, theoretical calculations, and advanced spectroscopy analysis. The removal properties for U(VI) of various MOF-based materials are assessed through different techniques. Finally, a summary and perspective on the direction and challenges of MOF-based materials and various pollutant removal technologies are proposed to provide some significant information on designing and fabricating MOF-based materials for environmental pollution management.

Functional Carbon Capsules Supporting Ruthenium Nanoclusters for Efficient Electrocatalytic 99 TcO4 - /ReO4 - Removal from Acidic and Alkaline Nuclear Wastes.

The selective removal of the ß-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.

Efficient decontamination of organic pollutants from wastewater by covalent organic framework-based materials.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), assembling through covalent bonds, are a rising class of porous materials. Nowadays, various COFs are widely applied in organic pollutants decontamination due to the outstanding capabilities of large surface area, multiple functional groups, porous structure, excellent absorptivity, flexible design and so on. This review concentrates on the applications of COFs in different decontamination technologies such as solid-phase extraction, membrane filtration and sieving, adsorption, and catalysis reaction. The factors influencing water chemistry, such as pH, temperature, salt concentration and natural organic matter, are summarized in terms of their impact on decontamination performance and the extraction mechanisms for the diverse analytes. The interaction mechanisms between COFs and organic pollutants were hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, a perspective on current obstacles and upcoming developments of COFs for organic pollutant removal has been provided. Due to their adaptable and versatile design as well as elaborate and diverse functionalization, COFs possess significant possibility in ameliorating environmental pollution.

Modulating Anion Nanotraps via Halogenation for High-Efficiency 99TcO4-/ReO4- Removal under Wide-Ranging pH Conditions.

Efficient and sustainable methods for 99TcO4- removal from acidic nuclear waste streams, contaminated water, and highly alkaline tank wastes are highly sought after. Herein, we demonstrate that ionic covalent organic polymers (iCOPs) possessing imidazolium-N+ nanotraps allow the selective adsorption of 99TcO4- under wide-ranging pH conditions. In particular, we show that the binding affinity of the cationic nanotraps toward 99TcO4- can be modulated by tuning the local environment around the nanotraps through a halogenation strategy, thereby enabling universal pH 99TcO4- removal. A parent iCOP-1 possessing imidazolium-N+ nanotraps showed fast kinetics (reaching adsorption equilibrium in 1 min), a high adsorption capacity (up to 1434.1 ± 24.6 mg/g), and exceptional selectivity for 99TcO4- and ReO4- (nonradioactive analogue of 99TcO4-) removal in contaminated water. By introducing F groups near the imidazolium-N+ nanotrap sites (iCOP-2), a ReO4- removal efficiency over 58% was achieved in 60 min in 3 M HNO3 solution. Further, introduction of larger Br groups near the imidazolium-N+ binding sites (iCOP-3) imparted a pronounced steric effect, resulting in exceptional adsorption performance for 99TcO4- under super alkaline conditions and from low-activity waste streams at US legacy Hanford nuclear sites. The halogenation strategy reported herein guides the task-specific design of functional adsorbents for 99TcO4- removal and other applications.

Design and Fabrication of Hypercrosslinked Covalent Organic Adsorbents for Selective Uranium Extraction.

Uranium detection and extraction are necessary for the ecological environment as the growing demand for nuclear energy. Hence, exploring stable materials with excellent performance in uranium extraction and detection is highly desired. Herein, by amidoxime-functionalizing tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFTPN) crosslinked hydroquinone (bP), phloroglucinol (tP), and 4,4',4″-trihydroxytriphenylmethane (tBP), three covalent organic polymers (COPs) bPF-AO, tPF-AO, and tBPF-AO with different crosslinked architectures are fabricated. Uranium extraction and detection related to the difference in molecule construction were systemically investigated, giving some reference for the rational design and fabrication of advanced materials for the removal and monitoring of uranium in the environment. The tPF-AO with a compact steric structure achieves the highest theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 578.9 ± 15.2 mg g-1 and the best recyclability. The scattering electron center and U(VI) selective binding sites endow tBPF-AO with excellent capability in selective detection for U(VI), with a limit of detection of 24.2 nmol L-1, which is well below the standard for U(VI) in drinking water of the World Health Organization (WHO). Moreover, the COPs possess prominent physicochemical stability and recyclability, and more importantly, the PAE-based COPs are derived from inexpensive industry materials with easy processing methods, providing an efficient and economical way for the detection and adsorption of uranium.

Tuning Local Charge Distribution in Multicomponent Covalent Organic Frameworks for Dramatically Enhanced Photocatalytic Uranium Extraction.

Optimizing the electronic structure of covalent organic framework (COF) photocatalysts is essential for maximizing photocatalytic activity. Herein, we report an isoreticular family of multivariate COFs containing chromenoquinoline rings in the COF structure and electron-donating or withdrawing groups in the pores. Intramolecular donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions in the COFs allowed tuning of local charge distributions and charge carrier separation under visible light irradiation, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic performance. By optimizing the optoelectronic properties of the COFs, a photocatalytic uranium extraction efficiency of 8.02 mg/g/day was achieved using a nitro-functionalized multicomponent COF in natural seawater, exceeding the performance of all COFs reported to date. Results demonstrate an effective design strategy towards high-activity COF photocatalysts with intramolecular D-A structures not easily accessible using traditional synthetic approaches.

Collision-Avoiding Flocking With Multiple Fixed-Wing UAVs in Obstacle-Cluttered Environments: A Task-Specific Curriculum-Based MADRL Approach.

Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are able to efficiently accomplish a variety of tasks in complex scenarios. However, developing a collision-avoiding flocking policy for multiple fixed-wing UAVs is still challenging, especially in obstacle-cluttered environments. In this article, we propose a novel curriculum-based multiagent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) approach called task-specific curriculum-based MADRL (TSCAL) to learn the decentralized flocking with obstacle avoidance policy for multiple fixed-wing UAVs. The core idea is to decompose the collision-avoiding flocking task into multiple subtasks and progressively increase the number of subtasks to be solved in a staged manner. Meanwhile, TSCAL iteratively alternates between the procedures of online learning and offline transfer. For online learning, we propose a hierarchical recurrent attention multiagent actor-critic (HRAMA) algorithm to learn the policies for the corresponding subtask(s) in each learning stage. For offline transfer, we develop two transfer mechanisms, i.e., model reload and buffer reuse, to transfer knowledge between two neighboring stages. A series of numerical simulations demonstrate the significant advantages of TSCAL in terms of policy optimality, sample efficiency, and learning stability. Finally, the high-fidelity hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation is conducted to verify the adaptability of TSCAL. A video about the numerical and HITL simulations is available at https://youtu.be/R9yLJNYRIqY.

Tuning excited state electronic structure and charge transport in covalent organic frameworks for enhanced photocatalytic performance.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent an emerging class of organic photocatalysts. However, their complicated structures lead to indeterminacy about photocatalytic active sites and reaction mechanisms. Herein, we use reticular chemistry to construct a family of isoreticular crystalline hydrazide-based COF photocatalysts, with the optoelectronic properties and local pore characteristics of the COFs modulated using different linkers. The excited state electronic distribution and transport pathways in the COFs are probed using a host of experimental methods and theoretical calculations at a molecular level. One of our developed COFs (denoted as COF-4) exhibits a remarkable excited state electron utilization efficiency and charge transfer properties, achieving a record-high photocatalytic uranium extraction performance of ~6.84 mg/g/day in natural seawater among all techniques reported so far. This study brings a new understanding about the operation of COF-based photocatalysts, guiding the design of improved COF photocatalysts for many applications.

Biomimetic Photocatalytic System Designed by Spatially Separated Cocatalysts on Z-scheme Heterojunction with Identified Charge-transfer Processes for Boosting Removal of U(VI).

Designing highly efficient photocatalysts with rapid migration of photogenerated charges and surface reaction kinetics for the photocatalytic removal of uranium (U(VI)) from uranium mine wastewater remains a significant challenge. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, a biomimetic photocatalytic system is assembled by designing a novel hollow nanosphere MnOx @TiO2 @CdS@Au (MTCA) with loading MnOx and Au nano particles (Au NPs) cocatalysts on the inner and outer surfaces of the TiO2 @CdS. The spatially separated cocatalysts efficiently drive the photogenerated charges to migrate in opposite directions, while the Z-scheme heterogeneous shell further separates the interfacial charges. Theoretical calculation identifies multiple consecutive forward charge transfers without charge recombination within MTCA. Thus, MTCA could efficiently remove 99.61% of U(VI) after 15 min of simulated sunlight irradiation within 3 mmol L-1 NaHCO3 with 0.231 min-1 of the reduction rate constant, outperforming most previously reported photocatalysts. MTCA further significantly removes 91.83% of U(VI) from the natural uranium mining wastewater under sunlight irradiation. This study provides a novel approach to designing an ideal biomimetic photocatalyst for remediating environmental pollution.

Modulating Uranium Extraction Performance of Multivariate Covalent Organic Frameworks through Donor-Acceptor Linkers and Amidoxime Nanotraps.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be designed to allow uranium extraction from seawater by incorporating photocatalytic linkers. However, often sacrificial reagents are required for separating photogenerated charges which limits their practical applications. Herein, we present a COF-based adsorption-photocatalysis strategy for selective removal of uranyl from seawater in the absence of sacrificial reagents. A series of ternary and quaternary COFs were synthesized containing the electron-rich linker 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol as the electron donor, the electron-deficient linker 4,4'-(thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole-2,5-diyl)dibenzaldehyde as the acceptor, and amidoxime nanotraps for selective uranyl capture (with the quaternary COFs incorporating [2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-diamine-Ru(Bp)2]Cl2 as a secondary photosensitizer). The ordered porous structure of the quaternary COFs ensured efficient mass transfer during the adsorption-photocatalysis capture of uranium from seawater samples, with photocatalytically generated electrons resulting in the reduction of adsorbed U(VI) to U(IV) in the form of UO2. A quaternary COF, denoted as COF 2-Ru-AO, possessed a high uranium uptake capacity of 2.45 mg/g/day in natural seawater and good anti-biofouling abilities, surpassing most adsorbents thus far. This work shows that multivariate COF adsorption-photocatalysts can be rationally engineered to work efficiently and stably without sacrificial electron donors, thus opening the pathway for the economic and efficient extraction of uranium from the earth's oceans.
