Water pollution by heavy metals, organic dyes, and oily wastewaters has become a serious environment issue. Diverse technologies have been developed to address this issue. Among these methods, metal nanocatalysts have been extensively used for synthesis of organic materials and decomposition/conversion of organic pollutants due to their excellent catalytic activity and high specific surface area. However, it has been recently reported that unintended leakage of nanocatalysts (nano-sized particles/structures) into the environment can cause a significant threat to the environment and public health. Thus, it is needed to develop a novel catalytic filter that does not have a risk of leakage, has a rapid catalytic reaction, high flux, easy increase/decrease in the amount of catalyst, and excellent reusability.
