Liquid-repellent surfaces, especially smooth solid surfaces with covalently grafted flexible
polymer brushes or alkyl monolayers, are the focus of an expanding research area. Surface …

Oil leakage and the discharge of organic wastewater have not only threatened the
ecosystem, but also greatly aggravated water scarcity. The separation of oil-water mixture …

Clean water resources are essential to our human society. Oil leakage has caused water
contamination, which leads to serious shortage of clean water, environmental deterioration …

Porous Janus materials have attracted widespread attention due to their asymmetry in
wettability, charge, pore size or structure, thermal/electrical conductivity, and chemical …

Superwettable membranes with superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity
(SHL/UWSOB) or hydrophobicity/underoil superhydrophobicity (HB/UOSHB) are considered …

Purification of highly emulsified oily wastewater is of significance but challenging due to the
critical limitations of low efficiency and serious membrane blocking. Herein, inspired by the …

With recent progress in interfacial solar steam generation, direct solar desalination is
considered a promising technology for providing a clean water solution through a cost …

Developing an effective and sustainable solution for cleaning up or separating oily water is
highly desired. In this work, we report a completely inorganic mesh membrane made up of …

Janus wettability membranes have received much attention because of their asymmetric
surface wettability. On the basis of this distinctiveness from traditional symmetrical …

Mussel‐inspired chemistry has attracted widespread interest in membrane science and
technology. Demonstrating the rapid growth of this field over the past several years …
