In this work, a unique one-pot green synthesis technique that utilizes high energy gamma-irradiation technology was successfully designed to fabricate a stable, highly-porous Prussian blue (PB)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogel (PB@PVP/rGO) with a 3D-network structure,...
