摘要
Urchin-like W_(18)O_(49),with a large specific surface area(113.738 m^(2)g^(-1))and abundant oxygen vacancies(OVs),was prepared using an active sites tuning and microstructure engineering method.This material was applied for U(Ⅵ)adsorption for the first time,demonstrating a high adsorption capacity of 567.55 mg g^(-1),which exceeds that of most inorganic adsorbents.Characterization via active site masking experiments and theoretical calculations,etc.,indicated that the excellent adsorption performance toward U(Ⅵ)was due to strong complexation between UO_(2)^(2+)and W–O bond of W_(18)O_(49),facile oxygen vacancy adsorption,and interface electron transfer from W^(5+)to UO_(2)^(2+),which acted as a reducing agent,partially converting U(Ⅵ)to U(IV).Furthermore,W_(18)O_(49)exhibited practical applicability with a removal rate exceeding 82%after 5 cycles,a 92.79%removal rate for real uranium-containing wastewater,and a high uranium recovery rate of 75.96%.Additionally,the synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic effect significantly enhanced U(Ⅵ)extraction,reaching an extraction capacity of 988.0mg g^(-1).This work provides a promising strategy for developing highly efficient U(Ⅵ)WO_(3)-based adsorbents.
