Although the demand of ¹⁰B separation has arisen in the 1930s, ¹⁰B/¹¹B are among the most difficult isotopes to separate due to the extremely similar relative atomic mass. Herein, we report an efficient separation of ¹⁰B isotopologue by engineering amino-galloyl synergistic materials via a selective adsorption and isotope exchange reaction, achieving a record-high single-stage separation factor of 1.048 with ¹⁰B abundance up to 21.42%. ¹¹B MAS NMR results and DFT calculations reveal that the galloyl groups exhibit inherent high affinity for B(OH)₄⁻, forming tetrahedral sp³ B-galloyl complexes. The relatively higher ¹⁰B–O bond energy of ¹⁰B-galloyl complexes facilitates the isotope exchange between ¹¹B in B-galloyl complexes and ¹⁰B in B(OH)₃. Flowthrough dynamic separation in fixed-bed demonstrates the feasibility and potential of large-scale deployment of this method in real-world, suggesting a promising avenue for the exploitation of more efficient enrichment of ¹⁰B for the sustainable nuclear energy and biomedical research.
