MXenes were outstanding materials for aqueous environment remediation, MXenes with a high capacity for radionuclides uranium (U(VI)) remains a challenge. In this study, a noval polydopamine functionalized MXene (defined as MXene@PDA) was successfully synthesised and evaluated for the aggregation towards U(VI) from wastewater. Versatile PDA owing functional groups provided more sites to capture contaminant ions. The mechanism research with MXene@PDA was explored by batch experiments toghther with the XPS analyses. The results revealed MXene@PDA with abundant functional groups exhibited superior elimination ability (90.4 mg/g) at pH = 5.0. The mechanism of U(VI) on MXene@PDA was primarily ascribed to the surface complexation force between the UO22+ and -OH, NH2 groups. The PDA modification of MXene materials are proved to be excellent materials for the extraction of radionuclides in the aqueous solution.
