Hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) have demonstrated great potential for capture, catalysis, drug delivery, and energy storage attracted extensive research interest. Nevertheless, tuning their nanoscale morphology remains a challenge. Herein, we constructed series of HCPs (HCP[HaPb]) with various morphologies (nanospheres, nanorod-like, flower-like nanostructures) by controlling the molar ratios monomers hexakis(benzylthio)benzene quality. In addition, HCP[H200P3] rich nitrogen sulfur atoms showed fast adsorption rate high capacity I3– in aqueous media. The reached 98% within 5 min at liquid/solid ratio 1 mL mg–1, saturated 1.388 g g–1 was obtained 30 mg–1. Additionally, flow-through experiments revealed that an impressive removal flow 1.0 min–1. More importantly, could selectively capture presence competing anions. This work proved adsorbent highly selective has good prospects practical application I3–.

More than 13 years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, concerns remain about drinking water contamination from artificial radionuclides and ongoing discharge of tritiated into Pacific Ocean. However, natural unrelated to FDNPP releases can also contribute human radiation exposure. Here, we measured in tap groundwater assess exposure 222Rn (natural); 137Cs (artificial); 3H (both natural). Ten all samples had levels below detection limits (<0.02 Bq L-1), while only elevated (<3-399 L-1). Trace amounts (0.07-0.55 L-1) were both sources, with generally exhibiting higher levels. did not increase several discharges Estimated annual effective doses 0.57 μSv (137Cs), 0.0058 (3H), 20 (222Rn).
