Wonderful gels : A trihybrid gel was prepared by incorporating graphene oxide and in situ synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into an amino‐acid‐based native gel matrix (see pict). The morphology of this system indicates the presence of three distinctly different nanostructures: nanofibers, nanosheets, and nanoparticles. The catalytic efficiency of this trihybrid system is enhanced relative to that of AuNPs in a dihybrid system.
