Nanofibrillated chitin/Ag<sub>2</sub>O aerogels were fabricated for radioiodine removal. Chitin was first fabricated into nanofibers with abundant acetyl amino groups (-NHCOCH<sub>3</sub>) on the surface. Then, highly porous chitin nanofiber (ChNF) aerogels were obtained via freeze-drying. The ChNF aerogels exhibited a low bulk density of 2.19 mg/cm<sup>3</sup> and a high specific surface area of 179.71 m<sup>2</sup>/g. Ag<sub>2</sub>O nanoparticles were evenly anchored on the surfaces of ChNF s ...[more]
