Mangrove tidal wetland habitats are recognised as highly vulnerable to large and chronic oil
spills. This review of current literature and public databases covers the last 6 decades …

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest, longest-lasting, and deepest oil accident to
date in US waters. As oil and natural gas jetted from release points at 1,500-m depth in the …

Remediation of crude oil spills is a great challenge owing to the poor mobility and high
viscosity of crude oil. Herein, a porous polydimethylsiloxane@ wood sponge/MXene …

The long-term ecological impacts of the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) are compared to two
extensively studied and more recent large spills: Deepwater Horizon (DWH) and the Hebei …

Remediation of crude-oil spills is a global challenge. Conventional sorbents are inefficient
for complete remediation due to the high viscosity of crude oil. However, heating crude oil …

Efficient cleanup of viscous crude oil spill is a worldwide challenge due to its sluggish
flowability at room temperature. Conventional oil remediation methods using physical …

Herein, we report solar-driven self-heating hydrophobic/oleophilic sponges for the first time
for fast adsorption of crude oil from water surfaces. The self-heating function benefits from …

The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) drilling rig in 2010 released an
unprecedented amount of oil at depth (1,500 m) into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Sedimentary …

In nature, leaf photosynthesis is the most common solar energy conversion system, which
involves light absorption and conversion processes. Most interestingly, the leaves of a green …

Chennai, a coastal city in India with a population of over 7 million people, was impacted by a
major oil spill on January 28th 2017. The spill occurred when two cargo ships collided about …
