Abstract
, had a slight impact on the reduction rate of 4-NP. When tested in real water environments, the reduction rate decreased, but complete conversion was still achieved. Additionally, the composite successfully reduced 100% of 2-nitrophenol, 100% of methyl orange, and 69% of Congo red. Overall, the hydrogel composite has shown significant potential as a catalyst for reducing various organic pollutants with high efficiency and easy separation through filtration.
