核能对于满足提高生活质量所需的日益增长的能源需求至关重要。然而，其可持续发展取决于燃料材料的可获得性以及安全有效地管理核燃料循环的能力。最近，多孔有机聚合物（POP）已经显示出在吸收能力和选择性方面提供优于传统多孔材料的改进的放射性核素螯合性能。这些材料还表现出改善的稳定性，并且容易官能化，使它们成为许多新兴应用的有前途的材料。本意见展示了在用于核燃料开采的工程化持久性有机污染物和代表性放射性物种的修复方面取得的成就，并沿着讨论了基本的设计策略和原则。未来的研究机会和实施障碍也进行了讨论，希望激励更多的科学家参与这一新兴的研究领域。
Nuclear power is critical in addressing the growing energy demand required for an improved quality of life. Its sustainable development, however, rests on the accessibility of fuel material and the ability to manage a nuclear fuel cycle safely and efficiently. Recently, porous organic polymers (POPs) have been shown to provide improved radionuclide sequestration performance over traditional porous materials in terms of both uptake capacity and selectivity. These materials also exhibit improved stability and are readily functionalized, rendering them promising materials for a number of emergent applications. This Opinion demonstrates achievements in engineered POPs for nuclear fuel mining and remediation of representative radioactive species, along with discussions of the underlying design strategies and principles. Future research opportunities and implementation barriers are also discussed with the hope of inspiring additional scientists to engage in this emerging area of research.
