and/or photonically triggered “sponges” for the selective uptake of specific
pollutants and their concentration for secondary neutralization [ 57 , 58 ], in the
signal-controlled wettability of surfaces [ 59 , 60 ] and for the generation of enhanced
performance photoelectrochemical anodes and cells [ 61 ]. This diversity of
applications still needs to be broadened, with the aim of exploiting the inherent
advantages of the imprinted cross-linked Au NPs composites in other scientific
fields as well.
