“…These starting materials offer various options for printing active materials for water-treatment systems and batteries/ supercapacitors. [31] At a constant driving pressure, the width and thickness of the printed layers remain constant when ink with appropriate rheological properties is used, resulting in a sufficient uniformity of the products, [32] producing intricate 3D multiscale structures that offer excellent design versatility. In addition, it can achieve a high printing resolution (minimum feature size of 1 μm) by applying microcapillary nozzles.…”

Recently, three‐dimensional (3D) printing has become a research focus point and has evolved as a powerful tool for manufacturing complex objects for advanced technology platform designs. Herein, we review the current state‐of‐the‐art 3D‐printed hydrogels and aerogels for wastewater treatment and energy storage applications. Several 3D printing methods such as direct ink writing, digital light processing, and fused filament fabrication have been discussed. Among these, direct ink writing is the most employed 3D printing technique for hydrogels and aerogels. We systematically investigated the most important results of several 3D‐printed hydrogels and aerogels for adsorption, photocatalysis, membrane filtration, and desalination for wastewater treatment, supercapacitors, and batteries in energy storage applications. Finally, we conclude our understanding with the prospect of future opportunities in this field using 3D‐printed hydrogels and aerogels for wastewater treatment and energy storage applications. In summary, the fundamental knowledge of 3D printing and critical assessment of the key literature on 3D‐printed hydrogels and aerogels and their applications in water treatment and energy storage will provide guidance for future studies in smart materials and waste management aspects of sustainability.

With the rapid advancement of three dimensional (3D) printing technology that offers flexibility to achieve desired surface area and permeability for wastewater applications, structural topology design has the potential to significantly improve the adsorption performance. This present work involves fabricating the green water technology with four different complex monolithic structural designs (Kagome, gyroid, Fischer, and body‐centered cubic [BCC]) with specific surface areas varied from 19.4 to 39.84 mm2 via digital light processing (DLP) technique. All the monolithic structures with different structural topologies were grafted with chitosan to evaluate their adsorption performance in a batch process. The influence of different structural topology on the adsorption performance and efficiency was evaluated at an optimal temperature of 60°C with optimum pH of 6.3 for a reaction time of 2 h using synthetic methyl orange (MO) dye and textile wastewater. Results indicated that the body‐centered cubic (BCC) design exhibited the highest MO adsorption capacity (12.71 mg/g), with the highest permeability (2.5710−7 m2) and surface area (39.84 mm2). Additionally, a direct relationship was found between the surface area and the permeability of the adsorbent as well as adsorption strength. Fifty percent of color and 2.46% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies were achieved to verify the adsorbent feasibility in actual application. The present work mainly establishes the feasibility of 3D printing in fabricating different monolithic structures, which enables future topology optimization for improved wastewater management.
