Macroscopic utilization of nanomaterial provides a new idea for the research and development of novel adsorbent, which can enhance efficiency in the adsorption and elution process. In this paper, nano-polypyrrole (PPy) was dispersed into two inexpensive and renewable biomass materials, gelatin (Gel) and chitosan (CS), to fabricate a novel photo/electric-sensitive hydrogel, Gel/CS/PPy. The micro-network of Gel/CS/PPy shows a high adsorption rate of 94.2% for acid fuchsine (AF). Furthermore, with the addition of polypyrrole, Gel/CS/PPy has the characteristic of photo/electric response, which can improve the elution efficiency of AF from the adsorbent. The results showed that the elution efficiency could be increased by 4 times with photo-assistance, and about 2 times with electro-assistance. Predictably, using the methods described in this article, high-quality adsorbents can be designed for more organic pollutants. Graphical abstract
