Recently, a research team of Lanzhou University (LZU) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of adsorbent materials for uranium extraction from seawater. The team proposed a dynamic spatial coordination strategy that can simultaneously achieve precise identification (with a U/V ratio reaching 215) and highly efficient extraction (uranium adsorption capacity of 588.24 mg·g−1) of uranium in complex seawater systems, showing great potential for seawater uranium resource extraction.
