Extraction of uranium from seawater is one of the important ways to solve the shortage of terrestrial uranium resources. Thereinto, the competition between uranyl and vanadium cations is a significant challenge in the commonly used amidoxime-based adsorbents for extracting uranium from seawater. An...
