Introducing metal components into gel matrices provides an effective strategy to develop soft materials with advantageous properties such as: optical activity, conductivity, magnetic response activity, self‐healing activity, catalytic activity, etc. In this context, a thorough overview of application‐oriented metallogels is provided. Considering that many well‐established metallogels start from serendipitous discoveries, insights into the structure–gelation relationship will offer a profound impact on the development of metallogels. Initially, design strategies for discovering new metallogels are discussed, then the advanced applications of metallogels are summarized. Finally, perspectives regarding the design of metallogels, the potential applications of metallogels and their derivative materials are briefly proposed.
The taxonomy, design rationale, and recent advances of functional metallogels are summarized. The intrinsic relationships between structural particularities and gelation behaviors of metallogels are clarified, emphasizing their advanced application performance. Insights into the developing procedures of classical metallogels may serve as an inspiration to researchers who want to exploit new metallogels with the desired functional properties.
