Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) released from reactors possesses significant radioactivity, heat
release properties, and high-value radioactive nuclides. Therefore, using chemical methods …

The surging demand for high-purity individual lanthanides necessitates the development of
novel and exceptionally selective separation strategies. At the heart of these separation …

The chemical similarities between trivalent actinides [An (III)] and lanthanides [Ln (III)]
present a significant challenge in differentiating and separating them, which is a key step …

Designing and selecting extractants with high selectivity between uranium and thorium, and
developing the relevant separation process is one of the key points to realize efficient …

The most important problem of atomic energy is the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel and
management of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The separation of americium (III) from …

Phenanthroline diamide ligands have been widely used in the separation of trivalent
actinides and lanthanides, but little research has focused on extractants with asymmetrical …

To tune the complexation and solvent extraction performance of the ligands with a 1, 10-
phenanthroline core for trivalent actinides (An3+) and lanthanides (Ln3+), we synthesized …

The impact of substituents at the 4-and 7-positions of 1, 10-phenanthroline-2, 9-
dicarboxamides on the photophysical properties of the ligands and their coordination …

Hydrophilic actinide masking agents are believed to be efficient alternatives to circumvent
the extensive hazardous organic solvents/diluents typically employed in the liquid–liquid …

Selective actinide coordination (from lanthanides) is critical for both nuclear waste
management and sustainable development of nuclear power. Hydrophilic ligands used as …
