Interfacial assembly of self-healing and mechanically stable hydrogels for degradation of organic dyes in water

G. Yan, Y. Feng, et al.

This research introduces a groundbreaking self-healing hydrogel developed for efficiently degrading dyes in wastewater. Harnessing cellulose-derived co-polydopamine@Pd nanoparticles, this hydrogel showcases remarkable mechanical stability and catalytic activity, maintaining efficiency across multiple cycles. The innovative use of a graphene oxide membrane enhances its functionality, ensuring robust performance. This study was conducted by authors from Xiamen University.
