Technetium-101 (¹⁰¹Tc) has been poorly studied in comparison with other Tc isotopes, although it was first identified over ~80 years ago shortly after the discovery of the element Tc itself. Its workable half-life and array of production modes, i.e., light/heavy particle reactions, fission, fusion-evaporation, etc., allow it to be produced and isolated using an equally diverse selection of chemical separation pathways. The inherent nuclear properties of ¹⁰¹Tc make it important for research and applications related to radioanalytical tracer studies, as a fission signature, fusion materials, fission reactor fuels, and potentially as a radioisotope for nuclear medicine. In this review, an aggregation of the known literature concerning the chemical, nuclear, and physical properties of ¹⁰¹Tc and some its applications are presented. This work aims at providing an up-to-date and first-of-its-kind overview of ¹⁰¹Tc that could be of importance for further development of the fundamental and applied nuclear and radiochemistry of ¹⁰¹Tc.

与其他 Tc 同位素相比，Technetium-101 ( ¹⁰¹ Tc) 的研究很少，尽管它在大约 80 年前在 Tc 元素本身发现后不久就被首次发现。其可行的半衰期和一系列生产模式，即轻/重粒子反应、裂变、聚变蒸发等，使其能够使用同样多样化的化学分离途径进行生产和分离。 ¹⁰¹ Tc 固有的核特性使其对于与放射性分析示踪剂研究相关的研究和应用非常重要，例如作为裂变特征、聚变材料、裂变反应堆燃料，并有可能作为核医学的放射性同位素。在这篇综述中，汇总了有关¹⁰¹ Tc 的化学、核和物理性质及其一些应用的已知文献。这项工作旨在提供¹⁰¹ Tc 的最新且首创的概述，这对于进一步发展¹⁰¹ Tc 的基础和应用核化学与放射化学具有重要意义。
