In the present study, we successfully synthesized a porous three-dimensional Prussian blue-cellulose aerogel (PB-CA) composite and used it as a decorporation agent for the selective removal of ingested cesium ions (Cs + ) from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The safety of the PB-CA composite was ev...
