A Janus membrane/mesh is a type of functional membrane/mesh composed of opposing wetting properties formed into a single layer in order to achieve novel properties. Janus membranes/meshes have attracted increasing attention from materials scientists…
Water cut crude oil needs to be deeply dehydrated before further transportation or refining because water residuals not only tremendously increase the transportation cost and energy consumption, but also harm the oil delivery pipelines and refining…
The development of membranes with a superior antifouling property and high-permeation flux is extensively considered but still a challenge for handling emulsified oil foulants in wastewater. Herein, a zwitterionic nanohydrogel-grafted PVDF…
Efficient extraction of crude oil, the major energy resource of current concern and high demand worldwide, is of paramount importance in both energy and environmental fields. However, it remains a great challenge to separate the crude oil-in-water…
High-flux and oil-resistant mesh for oil/water separation is substantially needed due to frequent oil spill accidents. However, the acquirement of high-flux meshes without sacrificing intrusion pressure is a challenge. Here, a multi-scale…
Herein, a dense rutile nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) coating was constructed on the nonwoven fabric (NWF) membrane surfaces via the bio-inspired TiO2 sol-gel method. The mineralization of nano-TiO2 was large-scale and uniform on the non-woven fabrics…
