Chitosan hydrogels were prepared and imprinted by AgI with different mass ratios. Compared with the native chitosan hydrogel sample, the optimally imprinted sample (Agim75) presents a significantly enhanced AgI adsorption capacity as well as a high selectivity. This is attributed to the specific cav...
