The thermoresponsive poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide)/graphene/Au multicomponent hydrogel is prepared by the simultaneous in‐situ formation of Au nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide, assisted by NIR laser irradiation of a prefabricated PNIPAM/GO hydrogel with auric acid precursor, showing great potential for water treatment owing to the excellent photothermal effect.
