Americium/lanthanide separation enabled by a distinct polyoxometalate cluster

摘要

Nuclear energy is viewed as a low carbon-emission electricity-generating technology with high-energy density,which has attracted extensive attention and shown broad development prospects[1].However,to ensure sustainability and cleanability in the development of nuclear energy,one crucial challenge is to exploit efficient and economical technologies to simultaneously recover fissionable nuclides from nuclear waste and separate long-lived toxic fission products[2].
