Hydrogels: Separation‐Free Polyaniline/TiO₂ 3D Hydrogel with High Photocatalytic Activity (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 3/2016)

In article number 1500502, Y. F. Zhu and co-workers synthesize a separation-free polyaniline/TiO2 3D hydrogel by polymerizing conductive polymer monomer. The composite hydrogel efficiently removes organic contaminants due to the synergistic effect of adsorption-enrichment and subsequent in-situ photocatalytic degradation. The work provides new insights into the fabrication of hydrogel-based nanocomposite materials and facilitates their potential application in the water purification field.
