In this mini review, general properties of cryogelation systems including the cryoconcentration phenomenon responsible for the unique properties of the cryogels are discussed.

Furthermore, the photocatalytic behaviour of Co-doped CdS QDs SILAR cycles deposition is investigated in various cycles, including 5, 8, 10, and 12.
