This Special Issue is dedicated to the synthesis, characterization, and application of functionalized or doped matrices (e.g., hydrogels, aerogels, or sol-gels) for environmental purposes such as the sensing or removal of different toxic analytes. The chemical functional groups or doping materials,...
