Abstract
Facing the dual pressure of increasing global energy demand and heavy task in carbon emission reduction on schedule, nuclear renaissance is being seriously discussed as transitive choice before full renewable energy supply, yet there is a crucial concern about radioactive safety. The treatment of radioactive iodine is particularly important and challenging because of its high ratio in fission product, extremely long radioactive periods up to several millions of years, as well as easy diffusion in the whole ecosystem. Given that several challenge including easy sublimation, high water solubility, diverse existing species of I2, I−, I2n+1− and organic iodine, biocompatibility and strong aggregation in thyroid, rapid capture and permanent storage of iodine is requested. Comparing to inorganic adsorbents of zeolite and inorganic–organic hybrid MOFs, pure organic porous solid are emerging as new and promising iodine capture material. Their high iodine affinity and adsorption capacity, good stability in various environments, facile modification and functionalization, intrinsic structural flexibility guaranteed the outstanding performance in iodine capture. Four main categories of organic cages, supramolecular framework connected by weak interaction, covalent organic frameworks and polymers with intrinsic microporosity were summarized and discussed, from the viewpoints of design principles, iodine capture performance, and adsorbent-iodine interactions. As the main prospect, we hope this work will attracting more researchers to study porous organic materials and address the challenge of effective capture of radioactive iodine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites.
The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
