Uranium Extraction: Significantly Enhanced Uranium Extraction from Seawater with Mass Produced Fully Amidoximated Nanofiber Adsorbent (Adv. Energy Mater. 33/2018)

In article number 1802607, Ning Wang, Xiaolin Wang, Hui Wu and co-workers present a new strategy based on pre-amidoximation and blow spinning technique for industry scale production of fully amidoximated poly(imide dioxime) nanofiber adsorbent with significantly enhanced capacity and practicability for uranium extraction from natural seawater. The outstanding performance is attributed to the full coverage of chelating sites, excellent hydrophilicity, 3D porous architecture and good mechanical properties.
