超稳定偕胺肟功能化共价有机框架用于高效选择性海水提铀
海水提铀对于核能生产具有战略性意义。偕胺肟基功能性吸附剂在海水铀提取中发挥着不可或缺的作用。然而，面对海水复杂的离子环境，尤其在钒离子的存在下，同时获得高吸附性能和高选择性是一个巨大挑战。华北电力大学环境科学与工程学院王祥科教授课题组制备了基于聚芳醚的开环偕胺肟功能化共价有机框架(COF-HHTF-AO)，COF-HHTF-AO表现出高结晶度和优异的化学稳定性。COF-HHTF-AO在真实海水中对铀的提取量高达5.12 mg/g，是钒的1.61倍。理论计算研究发现，铀相比于钒的高选择性归因于其与偕胺肟的结合方式和配位形态。COF-HHTF-AO具有高吸附容量、优异的选择性和超高稳定性，是一种具有广泛前景的海水提铀吸附剂。相关研究成果以封面文章“Extremely stable amidoxime functionalized covalent organic frameworks for uranium extraction from seawater with high efficiency and selectivity”发表于Science Bulletin 2021年第19期。
