Lim, J.Y.C., S.S. Goh, S.S. Liow, K. Xue, and X.J. Loh.
Journal of Materials Chemistry A 7:18759-18791(2019)

This review highlights key advances of molecular gel development with an emphasis on hydrogels, polymers and composites, microorganisms and iron nanoparticles achieved during the last decade. Key design features of each gel material are emphasized in a "bottom-up" approach that accounts for the gels' target pollutant adsorption characteristics and material properties together with the most important practical considerations necessary for real-life usage.
