来源:ACS PublicationsThe unique physicochemical properties of rare earth elements (REEs) make them imperative for the production and improvement of advanced technology, renewable energy, and national defense applications. As these fields rapidly develop, there has been an increase in the demand for REEs. Due to the similar ionic charge and radii of adjacent REEs it is a challenge to selectively recover individual elements. Currently, the most common method for industrial REE separation is multistep traditional liquid–liquid extraction (T-LLE) systems. However, these systems generate large quanti...

来源:ACS PublicationsPyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-binding proteins are found in diverse species and play key roles in the central metabolism of many methylotrophic bacteria, acting as redox-active cofactors in their alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzymes. These enzymes also require a Lewis acidic metal ion to activate PQQ, and the 2011 discovery of lanthanide (Ln3+)-dependent ADH enzymes sparked a surge of interest in understanding their functional properties. However, key questions remain regarding the mechanism, metal ion-dependence, and electron transport processes of these enzymes. We report ...

来源:ACS PublicationsRare-earth-organic frameworks (REOFs) have been extensively investigated as promising adsorbents for radioactive nuclides, owing to the diverse coordination environments and robust bonding structures of rare-earth ions and the tunable large-pore architectures of frameworks. Herein, a yttrium-based REOF (Y-NH2–BTB) featuring microporous and hierarchical channels (pore volume of 0.2625 cm3 g–1) is reported as an efficient platform for capturing radioactive iodine vapor─a highly radiotoxic fission product released during nuclear fuel reprocessing. A maximum adsorption capacity ...
