New Breakthrough in Extracting Uranium from Seawater
Amidst the vast expanse of the ocean, a team of researchers from the Northeast Normal University, Changchun, have unlocked a potential game-changer in the extraction of uranium from seawater. Rui Zhao, Guangshan Zhu, and their colleagues have developed a revolutionary electrode material with an intricate network of microscopic nooks and crannies, tailored for the electrochemical capture of uranium ions from seawater. The foundation of their invention lies in a supple cloth woven from carbon fibers. This cloth is then coated with two specialized monomers that undergo polymerization. Subsequently, the cloth is treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to integrate amidoxime groups into
