%X Accumulation of pathogenic factors in the blood may cause irreversible damage and may even be life-threatening. Hemoperfusion is an effective technique for eliminating pathogenic factors, which is widely used in the treatment of various diseases including liver failure, renal failure, sepsis, and others. Hemoperfusion adsorbents are crucial in this process as they specifically bind and remove the target pathogenic factors. This review describes the development of hemoperfusion adsorbents, detailing the different properties exhibited by inorganic materials, organic polymers, and new materials. Advances in natural and synthetic polymers and novel materials manufacturing techniques have driven the expansion of hemoperfusion adsorbents in clinical applications. Stimuli-responsive (smart responsive) adsorbents with controllable molecular binding properties have many promising and environmentally friendly biomedical applications. Knowledge gaps, future research directions, and prospects for hemoperfusion adsorbents are discussed.
