Abstract

Herein, a novel pathway to prepare a porous structured DNA hybrid hydrogel has been described, using a transiently existing Pickering emulsion that is continuously generated during the reaction. The as-prepared highly porous gel features significantly improved capability for trace amounts of PAH removal.
