As global environmental issues become increasingly severe, the overconsumption of traditional energy sources and the associated pollution problems have become more prominent, creating an urgent need to find cleaner and more efficient alternative energy sources. In this context, nuclear energy, as a low-carbon and high-efficiency energy option, has gradually gained widespread attention. With the continuous development of nuclear technology, the application of nuclear energy has expanded globally. However, the widespread use of nuclear energy has also brought about various environmental challenges, particularly in terms of nuclear waste disposal, radiation safety, and the risk of nuclear accidents, which have sparked extensive discussions on the sustainability of nuclear energy. Of particular concern is the radioactive iodine released during uranium fission reactions, which poses significant potential risks to human health and the ecological environment, making the removal and enrichment of iodine an urgent issue. To address this challenge, porous nanomaterials, with their excellent adsorption properties and high surface area, have become a research hotspot in recent years and shown great potential for iodine removal and enrichment. This review focuses on the application of porous nanomaterials in iodine adsorption, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and porous organic polymers (POPs), and discusses the synthesis methods of these materials as well as their practical applications in iodine removal. Finally, the future development trends of porous nanomaterials in iodine adsorption are also envisioned.
