In this report, the cross-linked Vinyl-POSS gel (CVPG) polymer was firstly synthesized through a facile one-step ionizing radiation method. The structure and composition of the CVPG were characterized, and the results indicated that the CVPG contained a certain amount of unreacted vinyl group which can be further functionalization to tune the properties and expand the application range of the gel polymer.

The large-scale synthesis and the stabilization of noble metal nanocatalysts with ultrasmall sizes are crucial to their practical application. Herein, Pd, Au, and Pt nanoparticles (NPs) are in situ embedded on boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) via the reduction of precursor salts induced by 60 Co γ-irradiation, which is a mature technique widely used in industry. The reduction mechanism was elucidated by pulse radiolysis experiments. In comparison with other BN substrates like hexagonal BN ( h -BN), BNNSs had not only large surface area of 263 m 2 g −1 , but also abundant hydroxyl groups produced during the sonicated exfoliation, resulting in ultrasmall sizes, large loading amounts, and uniform distribution of the anchored NPs. The particle sizes of the loaded Pd, Au, and Pt NPs were measured to be 2.9, 3.1, and 3.0 nm, respectively. As a consequence, in the model reaction of 2-nitroaniline reduction, the Pd-, Au- and Pt-BNNSs composite nanocatalysts showed much higher catalytic activities than those composites loading the corresponding NPs on other BN substrates. Particularly, most of the 2-nitroaniline could be reduced within merely 40 s when using Pd-BNNSs as catalysts, performing a rate constant of 1.1 × 10 −1 s −1 . The number of hydroxyl groups on BNNSs support as well as the catalytic performance of the corresponding NPs-loaded BNNSs composites could be improved by extending the sonicated exfoliation time, because more NPs were loaded and the hydroxyl groups were also proved to play an important role in enhancing the catalytic activity. Moreover, Pd-BNNSs catalysts still displayed prominent activity even after five cycles owing to the high stability of BNNSs and their strong affinity for PdNPs. This work not only demonstrates BNNSs as ideal supports to load noble metal NPs for catalysis, but also reveals the feasibility to synthesize and in situ embed ultrasmall noble metal NPs on BNNSs via γ-irradiation.

The decontamination of radioactive TcO 4 − from nuclear wastes is becoming increasingly crucial for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and environmental remediation. In this work, a series of ionic liquid–immobilized silica-based adsorbents (SVIL-Cn, n = 1, 4, 8) were newly synthesized using the radiation-induced grafting of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride onto silanized silica and subsequent functionalization with 1-methylimidazole, 1-butylimidazole, or 1-octylimidazole. The synthesis conditions such as the solvent, absorbed dose, and monomer concentration were investigated in detail, and the resulting adsorbents were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, SEM, and TGA. In batch experiments, the adsorbents exhibited a high ReO 4 − (a nonradioactive surrogate of TcO 4 − ) removal efficiency over a wide pH range (3 ~ 8), and SVIL-C1 showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 70.62 mg g −1 towards ReO 4 − . In addition, their adsorption performance barely changed after 800 kGy radiation. The column experiments for treating simulated radioactive wastewater showed that the SVIL-Cn adsorbents could selectively separate TcO 4 − /ReO 4 − from a variety of fission products, and they could be recycled four times with negligible capacity loss. Lastly, XPS and FT-IR analysis confirmed that the adsorption proceeded via an ion-exchange mechanism. The results showed that these adsorbents are suitable for the efficient removal of TcO 4 − /ReO 4 − from radioactive wastewater with complex compositions. Graphical abstract

Ni 3 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 4 positive electrode material was for the first time synthesized by gamma ray radiation under ambient conditions, and systematically investigated the synthesis mechanisms and electrochemical performance. The electrochemical performance of Ni 3 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 4 electrode can be regulated by controlling the absorbed dose. Ni 3 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 4 -200 kGy displays a remarkable electrochemical performance for supercapacitor, including a high specific capacity (1,086.7 C g –1 at 1 A g –1 ), good rate capability (50.6% at 15 A g –1 ), fast Faraday reaction kinetics, and excellent electrochemical cycle stability (90.8% retention at 5 A g –1 , after 5,000 cycles). Furthermore, the assembled Ni 3 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 4 -200 kGy//AC hybrid device exhibits a notable energy density of 99.8 Wh kg –1 at a power density of 849 W kg –1 (1 A g –1 ), and excellent electrochemical cycle stability, retaining ~92.5% of its initial capacitance after 5,000 cycles at 1 A g –1 . This work provides a new reaction pathway for the synthesis of inorganic materials and expands the potential application of radiation technology for electrode materials.
