TL;DR: It was found that solutions containing 24 ppm U(VI) could be completely cleaned up by ZVI-nps, regardless of the presence of NaHCO3, humic acid, mimic groundwater constituents or the change of solution pH from 5 to 9, manifesting the promising potential of this reactive material in permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to remediate uranium-contaminated groundwater.

TL;DR: In this review, recent research progresses on actinide related materials by means of various SR techniques were selectively highlighted and summarized, with the emphasis on X-ray absorption spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction and scattering spectroscology, which are powerful tools to characterize actinid materials.

TL;DR: The present work provides an effective strategy to functionalize MXene nanosheets, with fundamental implications for the design of MXene-based selective electrosorption electrode materials.

TL;DR: A cucurbit[8]uril based soft cationic supramolecular material is used as efficient sorbent for TcO4− ions to highlight opportunities for development of soft anion-adaptive sorbents for highly selective anion decontamination.

TL;DR: Natural bond orbital (NBO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), electron localization function (ELF), atoms in molecules (AIM) and molecular orbital (MO) analyses indicated that the metal-ligand bonds of the actinide complexes exhibited more covalent character than those of the lanthanide complexes.
