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

Due to its built-up chemoresistance after prolonged usage, the demand for replacing
platinum in metal-based drugs (MBD) is rising. The first MBD approved by the FDA for …

Lanthanide rare-earth metals are ubiquitous in modern technologies,,,–, but we know little
about chemistry of the 61st element, promethium (Pm), a lanthanide that is highly radioactive …

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

Understanding lanthanide coordination chemistry can help develop new ligands for more
efficient separation of lanthanides for critical materials needs. The Cambridge Structural …

Liquid-liquid extraction is the most wildly adopted industrial Lns/Ans separation approach
which takes advantages of the subtle atomic size differences for Lns and Ans. Preorganized …

Development of new ligand systems that selectively extract and release critical elements,
such as lanthanides, in the presence of other metal ions at significantly higher …

Abstract Rare earth elements (REEs: Sc, Y, La-Lu) are irreplaceable components in many
clean energy and consumer technologies. However, the extraction and subsequent …

The separation of Lns (III) from radioactive Ans (III) in high-level liquid waste remains a
formidable hydrometallurgical challenge. Water-soluble ligands are believed to be new …

The rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources for many clean energy technologies,
but are difficult to obtain in their elementally pure forms because of their nearly identical …
