Novel hybrid materials with high stability for electrically switched ion exchange: carbon nanotube-polyaniline-nickel hexacyanoferrate nanocomposites

A novel and stable carbon nanotube-polyaniline-nickel hexacyanoferrate nanocomposite film has been synthesized by the electrodeposition method, and the feasibility for removing radioactive caesium through an electrically switched ion exchange process using the nanocomposite film has been evaluated in a mixture containing NaNO3 and CsNO3.
