Superwetting sea urchin-like BiOBr@Co3O4 nanowire clusters-coated copper mesh with efficient emulsion separation and photo-Fenton-like degradation of soluble dye

Rational Design of High-Flux, Eco-Friendly, and Versatile Superhydrophobic/Superoleophilic PDMS@ZIF-7/Cu3(PO4)2 Mesh with Self-Cleaning Property for Oil–Water Mixture and Emulsion Separation

“…Lu and co-workers fabricated a manganese molybdate (MnMoO 4 )-coated copper mesh with the separation efficiencies as high as 99.9% for many oil-in-water emulsions, while the permeation fluxes were of less than 200 L m –2 h –1 . Mokoba et al proposed a novel BiOBr@Co 3 O 4 NWC@CM for oil-in-water emulsion separation with outstanding effectiveness in surfactant-stabilized emulsion separation with a separation efficiency of 98.66%, but the permeation flux was only increased to 887.67 L m –2 h –1 . As a result, permeation flux and separation efficiency are at odds and few investigations on how to build superwetting interface materials have been done to maximize pore size while assuring high separation efficiency and flux.…”

To date, it is still an urgent challenge to design versatile superhydrophobic copper mesh with costeffectiveness, environmental friendliness, and excellent selfcleaning performance for high-flux oil−water mixture, and emulsion separation.…”
