ABSTRACT

Large-scale generation of radioactive iodine (129I, 131I) in nuclear power plants pose a critical threat in the event of fallout, thus rendering the development of iodine sequestering materials (from both the vapor and aqueous medium) highly pivotal. Herein, we report two chemically stable ionic polymers containing multiple binding sites, including phenyl rings , imidazolium cations, and bromide anions, which in synergy promote adsorption of iodine/triiodide anions. In brief, exceptional iodine uptake (from the vapor phase) was observed at nuclear fuel reprocessing conditions. Furthermore, the ionic nature propelled removal of >99% of I3- from water within 30 min. Additionally, benchmark uptake capacities, as well as unprecedented selectivity, were observed for I3-anions. The excellent affinity (distribution coefficient, ∼105 mL/g) enabled iodine capture from seawater-spiked samples. Moreover, iodine-loaded compounds showed conductivity (10-4 S/cm, 10-6 S/cm), placing them among the best known conducting porous organic polymers. Lastly, DFT studies unveiled key insights in coherence with the experimental findings.
