Resins have been demonstrated effective bifunctional properties for both the detection and separation of TcO . However, the poor stability of these compounds limits their practical application.

Fabricating Porous Alkali-Resistant Resin for Segregation of Perrhenate/Pertechnetate Anions from Wastewater.

The elimination of the β-emitting pertechnetate ion (TcO) from highly alkaline tank waste poses a daunting challenge that is of great significance for nuclear safety and environmental protection. Herein, we report a strategy to fabricate an alkaline-stable porous resin (PANPEI-MeCl) that features hyperbranched quaternary amine groups grafted on the surface and confined within the pores of a superhydrophobic polymer matrix synthesized by a one-pot method, exhibiting a clear superiority both in adsorption kinetics and efficiency compared with available commercial anion-exchange resins applying to TcO capture. Notably, the alkaline stability of the resin can be improved by manipulating the length of side chain alkyl groups, and it shows ultrahigh structural integrity and prominent performance toward acid/alkaline soaking, high-temperature calcination procedures, and high doses of ionizing radiation.

Integration of Ultrathin Hafnium Oxide with a Clean van der Waals Interface for Two-Dimensional Sandwich Heterostructure Electronics.

Integrating high-κ dielectrics with a small equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) with two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors for low-power consumption van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure electronics remains challenging in meeting both interface quality and dielectric property requirements.

The self-cleaning process ensures a high-quality interface with a low interface state density of 10-10 cm eV.

The serial dilution technique is commonly used to generate solutions with different concentrations and can be easily modified for drug screening.

Controllable Oxidation of ZrS to Prepare High-κ, Single-Crystal m-ZrO for 2D Electronics.

High-κ materials that exhibit large permittivity and band gaps are needed as gate dielectrics to enhance capacitance and prevent leakage current in downsized technology nodes. Among these, monoclinic ZrO (m-ZrO ) shows good potential because of its inertness and high-κ with respect to SiO , but a method to produce ultrathin single crystal is lacking. Here, the controllable preparation of ultrathin m-ZrO single crystals via the in situ thermal oxidation of ZrS is achieved.

Sequential Separation of Iodine Species in Nitric Acid Media for Speciation Analysis of I in a PUREX Process of Spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing.

For efficient and accurate speciation analysis of I in the nitric acid solution of spent nuclear fuel in its reprocessing process, a sequential procedure for stepwise separation of different iodine species in 3 mol/L HNO was proposed based on the solvent extraction using CCl and mesitylene. Molecular iodine (I) was first separated by solvent extraction using CCl, and iodide (I) remaining in the aqueous phase was oxidized to I by adding NaNO and then extracted to mesitylene. Finally, iodate (IO) was reduced to I using NHOH·HCl and extracted to mesitylene.
