Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a method for synchronous oil/water separation and wastewater treatment using mesh surfaces coated with copper-oxide particles, which enhance both superwetting and catalytic properties.
- The superwetting feature allows for selective oil repulsion while enabling easy water passage, while the copper oxide contributes to purifying water by generating reactive oxygen species.
- With over 99% efficiency in both oil/water separation and organic pollutant degradation, this innovative approach offers a promising solution for purifying water from industrial oil/water mixtures.
Robust Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Network Surfaces for Enhanced Anti-icing/Deicing Performance.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
June 2020
Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have recently been intensively investigated because of promising potential in various applications that require water repellency. However, the use of SLIPS is limited by its unsatisfactory oil-storage and -replacement capabilities. Here we designed network surface structures with interconnected microchannels and cross-linked nanosheets, which acted as natural oil reservoirs and vessels.
