Preparation of lead-ion imprinted crosslinked electro-spun chitosan nanofiber mats and application in lead ions removal from aqueous solutions

Lead-ion imprinted crosslinked electro-spun chitosan nanofiber mats were prepared through a combined ion-imprinting and electrospinning technique, which show a very high adsorption capacity of 577 mg/g for Pb(II) ions.
