Biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces show great potential in oil–water separation, anti-
icing and self-cleaning. However, due to the instability caused by its fragile structure and …

Considering the serious damage to aquatic ecosystems and marine life caused by oil spills
and oily wastewater discharge, efficient, environment-friendly and sustainable oil/water …

In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grafted by silica nanoparticles to prepare CNTs-
SiO 2 hybrids, which were then incorporated into epoxy matrix to construct a …

The use of toxic components and short longevity greatly restricted the commercial
application of superhydrophobic surfaces in oil–water separation, antifouling, and self …

The ability of the lotus leaf to trap the layer of air under water droplets which causes the
droplet to roll off from its surface has inspired researchers to create such surfaces in real life …

Poor wear resistance and the use of toxic chemicals restrict the marketization of most
traditional superhydrophobic surfaces. The present work provides a method to prepare a …

Oily wastewater and oil spills pose a threat to the environment and human health, and
porous sponge materials are highly desired for oil/water separation. Herein, we design a …

Abstract Solar-Driven Interfacial Evaporation (SDIE) is a promising green technology with
great potential for seawater desalination. In this study, a novel slide-like cotton-based solar …

Limited durability and complex materials restrict the application of superhydrophobic fabrics
in daily life. In this work, gellable fluorinated block copolymer poly (dodecafluoroheptyl …

The development of multifunctional super hydrophobic cotton materials for oil–water
separation and biological activities has attracted significant research interest. In the present …
