High-energy radiation that compatible with renewable energy sources (solar, hydro, and wind energy) and additional nuclear energy sources (nuclear reactors) is used to drive the process, in which CuNi SAs/UiO-66(Hf) acts as radiosensitizer and intermediates modulator. Figure 1. Crystal structure of UiO-66(Hf) (porous structure) and CuNi single atoms. These structural figures were generated using the Diamond software (Version 4.6.1) developed by Crystal Impact GbR.
