▎ 摘　　要

In this study, graphene oxide (GO) and polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid (PAM/PAA) are used to prepare hydrogels with photothermal conversion properties for highly efficient uranium extraction from seawater. Zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxy ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) is introduced in the PAM/PAA/GO hydrogel to obtain PAM/PAA/GO/MPC (PAGM), exhibiting good antibacterial properties. PAGM demonstrates efficient and specific adsorption of uranium (VI) (U(VI)). Under light conditions, the adsorption capacity of PAGM reaches 196.12 mg g(-1) (pH = 8, t = 600 min, C-0 = 99.8 mg L-1, m/v = 0.5 g L-1). The adsorption capacity is only 160.29 mg g(-1) under dark conditions (pH = 8, t = 600 min, C-0 = 99.8 mg L-1, m/v = 0.5 g L-1). The adsorption capacity of light is 22.5% higher than that of dark. The adsorption process is fitted using the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models. Furthermore, PAGM exhibits good repeatability and stability after five adsorption-desorption cycles. PAGM exhibits a U(VI) adsorption capacity of 6.1 mg g(-1) after storage for one month in natural seawater. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results demonstrate that the coordination of the amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups with U(VI) is the primary mechanism of U(VI) adsorption. The mechanism is confirmed through detailed density functional theory calculations. PAGM demonstrates durability, high efficiency, photothermal conversion properties, and antibacterial properties. Thus, it is a promising candidate for uranium extraction from seawater.
