Key Points

This research aims to develop a method for efficiently capturing radioactive iodine isotopes from multiple phase media using engineered metal-organic cages.
Developed pyridinium-functionalized metal-organic cages to enhance iodine capture.
Tested iodine capture efficiency across different phase environments.
Evaluated ecological safety and disposal methods for captured iodine.
Achieved iodine capture rates exceeding 90% in multiple phase media.
Demonstrated effective long-term stability of captured iodine within the cages.
Results indicate potential for safer disposal of radioactive waste.

Implication

Demonstrates effective iodine capture using novel metal-organic cages, suggesting improved safety measures.

Abstract

Radioactive iodine isotopes generated during nuclear fission present significant challenges due to their high radioactivity, mobility, and long-term ecological hazards. Their efficient capture and safe disposal are therefore critical for...
