Nanohybrid of Cu2O–Ti3C2Tx as a Silver-Free MXene Sorbent for Iodine Gas Capture from Nuclear Waste
The capture of volatile radioiodine from nuclear fuel reprocessing off-gas streams remains a critical challenge due to the high volatility, long half-life, and biological uptake of 129I from the environment. Although silver-based sorbents provide strong iodine chemisorption, their high cost and regulatory classification as mixed radioactive-hazardous waste motivate the dev…

Iodine Capture with Copper-Electroplated Nickel Foams
This work explores the use of Ni0 foam scaffolds for Cu0 coatings for use as sorbents for iodine. The Cu0 electroplating was performed from aqueous copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) solutions under different conditions to achieve a range of Cu0-layer thicknesses (4.89 ± 1.05 μm–57.32 ± 3.95 μm) with 900 A·m–2 current densities and coating times of 15–180 min. The thickest coating…

Thermochemistry of Layered and Two-Dimensional Niobium Carbo-Chalcogenides
Two-dimensional transition metal carbo-chalcogenides (TMCCs) represent a novel class of layered materials with tunable electronic structures and high chemical versatility, making them promising candidates for energy and environmental applications. In this work, the structural and thermochemical properties of a series of TMCCs are investigated. High-temperature oxidative so…
