Abstract

A bio-inspired cellulose paper–poly(amidoxime) composite hydrogel is explored via UV-polymerization. This hydrogel has a highly efficient uranium capture capacity of up to 6.21 mg g⁻¹ for W_U/W_dry gel and 12.9 mg g⁻¹ for W_U/W_{poly(amidoxime)} in seawater for 6 weeks, due to its enhanced hydrophilicity, good hydraulic/ionic conductivity and broad-spectrum antibacterial performance.
