Abstract
nanoparticles was confirmed. As expected, the polysaccharide-based hydrogels exhibited good MB removal performance because of their synergistic effects of absorption and photocatalytic degradation. Furthermore, the cell cytotoxicity test showed that the polysaccharide-based hydrogels possessed good biocompatibility. The facile, noncytotoxic, and general strategy presented here could be extended to the preparation of other polysaccharide-based hydrogel materials and has good prospects for application in wastewater treatment.
