Removal of radioactive uranyl ions (UO22+) from water by effective adsorbents is highly desired but remains a challenge. UO22+ are easily combined with H2O, and the polarization of H2O affects the complexation between UO22+ and the adsorbent. Thus, it is necessary to reconstruct the UO22+ active sit...
