Electromicroscopic observation of MagCE.

SEM images taken (a) before and (b) after FIB processing. (SEM images of cracked powder and MagCEBAG are shown in Fig. S12, Supplementary Information). SEM–EDX of MagCE before (See Fig. S13, Supplementary Information) and (c) after adsorption of nonradioactive cesium. MagCE was mixed with 1% cesium phosphate aqueous solution for 30 min and then washed with DW and filtrate using filter paper No. 4A. (d), TEM-EDX of MagCE. Color treatment was performed to reveal the distribution of each element. (e), TEM–EDX line analysis of MagCE. TEM–EDX and TEM–EDX line analyses of cracked powder are shown in Fig. S14, Supplementary Information.
