“…Meanwhile, those imprinted cavities are endowed with the established ability to recognize the target analyte, i.e., template molecules (Xu et al, 2013). MIPs are widely applied in purification and separation (Li et al, 2015;Gong et al, 2017a;He et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Gomez-Arribas et al, 2019), chiral recognition (Rutkowska et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020), chemo-and bio-sensing (Altintas et al, 2016;Gong et al, 2017b;Ding et al, 2020;Kalecki et al, 2020), and catalysis and degradation (Liu et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2017;Boitard et al, 2019;Muratsugu et al, 2020) due to its physical stability, thermal stability, low cost, and ease of preparation.…”
