Discovery of graphene and its astonishing properties have given birth to a new class of
materials known as “2D materials”. Motivated by the success of graphene, alternative …

The search for new alternatives to replace chromate-based coatings is a matter of great
importance. Since their official ban due to the raised concerns of hexavalent chromium to the …

A wide variety of cation‐exchangeable layered transition metal oxides and their relatively
rare counterparts, anion‐exchangeable layered hydroxides, have been exfoliated into …

Two-dimensional (2D) hydroxide nanosheets can exhibit exceptional electrochemical
performance owing to their shortened ion diffusion distances, abundant active sites, and …

Abstract 99Tc is a long-lived radionuclide present in large amounts as TcO4-anion in used
nuclear fuel. Its removal from the waste stream is highly desirable because of its interference …

Ultrathin 2D nanomaterials possess promising properties due to electron confinement within
single or a few atom layers. As an emerging class of functional materials, ultrathin 2D rare …

Efficient extraction of radioactive 99 TcO 4-from strong acid/base solutions by porous
adsorbents is extremely desirable but remains a great challenge. To overcome the …

Technetium-99 (99Tc) is one of the most-problematic radioisotopes in used nuclear fuel
owing to its intrinsic features of a high fission yield, long half-life, high environmental …

Low-dimensional nanostructures offer a host of intriguing properties which are distinct from
those of the bulk material, owing to size-confinement effects and amplified surface areas …
