Summary: In this study, carbon particles were adsorbed on the surface of stainless steel meshes (SSMs) to form a thin hydrophobic coating, and a rough structure was then constructed through chemical vapor deposition and high temperature calcination, with the resultant SSM surface wrapped with uniform silica coating possessing superoleophobicity-underwater. The prepared SSMs exhibited superhydrophilicity in air and superoleophobicity-underwater. They showed high separation efficiency (above 98.8%) and separation flux (46,300 L·m(-2)·h(-1)) for oil/water mixtures. Immersion in different solutions did not significantly affect their separation efficiency (above 97.3%), and further immersion in dopamine and octadecylamine solutions transformed the SSMs into superhydrophobic SSMs with reverse surface wettability, which also exhibited good separation efficiency and separation flux for oil/water separation.

Summary: The direct discharge of oily wastewater is a major threat to the environment. Membrane technology has been considered an efficient strategy to treat oily wastewater, but membrane fouling caused by oil adsorption has hindered its practical use. This study aimed to fabricate an anti-oil-fouling membrane for effective oil/water separation. The PEGylated PVDF membrane showed uniform distribution on the surface and possessed superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic characteristics. The membrane had high separation efficiency for multiple emulsions and showed outstanding fouling resistance to emulsified oily matters.

Summary: Due to the increased industrial oily wastewater, developing a successful oil/water separation mechanism is a ubiquitous challenge. In this work, we successfully constructed a durable GO*-coated wire mesh with selective response towards oil and water based on the difference in surface tension. The GO*-coated mesh showed promising long-term durability and retained a significant level of underwater oleophobicity even after 60 days of continuous immersion in water.

Summary: A novel all-cellulose paper-based composite with underwater superoleophobicity and high-wet-strength was developed by casting a barrier layer of bacterial cellulose (BC) on a filter paper substrate. The composite demonstrated excellent performance in separating oil-in-water emulsions, with the potential to be used as membrane materials for oil-water separation. The optimization of pore structure in the BC layer and the use of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid for crosslinking reaction between fibers were key factors in achieving the desired properties of the composite.

Summary: Monophasic Sn3O4 and biphasic Sn3O4-SnO2 heterostructure composed of plentiful nanosheets were synthesized using a simple one-step solvothermal method. The gas sensor based on the Sn3O4-SnO2 composites exhibited excellent NO2 sensing performance, with a sensitivity of 1395.0 ppm(-1) to 1 ppm NO2 and operating temperature as low as 50 degrees C. These superior performances were attributed to the formation of the Sn3O4-SnO2 heterojunction.
