Photocatalytic extraction of uranium from solution is one of the most promising technologies for uranium recovery. However, the presence of axial bonds between the two oxygen atoms in UO 2 2+ creates a high activation barrier for electron transfer, which hinders the reduction of UO 2 2+ , making it more challenging to reduce U( VI ) to U( IV ) with conventional photocatalysis. Herein, an ingenious strategy for the efficient removal of uranium from aqueous solutions, utilizing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process, is prop...
