Facile Synthesis of Nanolayered Manganese Oxide for the Efficient and Selective Removal of Strontium(II) from Nuclear Wastewater

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel nanolayered manganese oxide material (Na‐NLMO) is prepared using a rapid and straightforward method for efficient adsorption of Sr(II) in both simulated waste liquid and natural water systems. Its excellent adsorption performance of Na‐NLMO could be attributed to the accessible layered structure and negatively charged framework.
