“…Two kinds of membranes can realize the oil–water separation, and are suitable for different separation requirements. At present, the preparation methods of superhydrophobic films mainly include dip coating, 10 spray coating, 11 spin coating, 12 sol–gel, 13 layer-by-layer, 14 vapor pressure deficit (VPD), 15 chemical vapor deposition (CVD), 16 electrodeposition, 17 , electrospinning, 18 acid–base treatment, 19 grafting, 20 thermal, 21 plasma, 22 ion beam irradiation, 23 and femtosecond laser. 24 These methods still have the problems of harsh synthesis conditions, cumbersome preparation process, high cost, instability and easy shedding of super-hydrophobic coatings, unrecyclable and continuous use, etc.…”
