Slime Mold-Bioinspired MXene Membrane for Efficient Uranium Immobilization

Abstract

Inspired by cellular slime molds, a biomimetic self-supporting MXene membrane is fabricated. This design integrates covalent cross-linking for stability with phosphate groups for specific uranium capture. The membrane achieves a high extraction capacity of 3,768 mg/g under an applied voltage, demonstrating a promising strategy for advanced nuclear wastewater treatment.
