Description
Jiacheng Zhang and coauthors build a hollow frame material in 2026 to pull uranium from seawater. Sunlight driven capture must gather two rare inputs in one spot before solid uranium can form. Their frame splits the jobs across an inner and an outer layer.
The inner layer makes and stores peroxide, the helper that sets uranium solid. The outer layer grabs uranium ions from the flow. Flows moving in two directions meet at a rich boundary where solid keeps forming. Uptake reached 25.1 milligrams per gram in real seawater. That rate is 3.9 times the rate of a solid twin material.
