With the development of nuclear energy, environmental concerns associated with the nuclear fuel cycle has attracted great attention. However, the effective sequestration of actinides and lanthanides (Ln) from complex radioactive wastes, especially the high-level liquid waste (HLLW) under strong acidic conditions, remains a serious challenge.
