Sandwiched Copper Foam with Symmetrical Wettability for Direction-Independent Fog Collection

Langmuir, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 27, 2025

The Janus membrane demonstrates its advantages in timely drainage and directional water transport properties for efficient fog collection, which helps alleviate global shortages. However, the direction-dependent collection inefficient limit widespread application. Herein, a single-layered sandwich-structured copper foam that features superhydrophilic inner layer double-deck external hydrophobic layers is prepared by simple method. This innovative architecture direction-independent harvesting capabilities through synergistic integration of symmetric wettability gradients robust structural integrity. Such sandwiched shows superiority rapid can quickly regenerate fresh outer surface as well unidirectional properties. property combined with benefits continuous better performance compared to conventional membranes. Clearly, development such enables effective durable droplets environments dynamically changeable winds. Overall, this work provides new idea fabrication advanced materials collection.

Transparent Superhydrophilic Coating with Robust and Persistent Anti-Oil-Fouling Properties for Efficient Long-Term Oil/Water Emulsion Separation

Langmuir, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 15, 2025

Porous membranes with superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity have attracted considerable attention for efficient oil/water emulsion separation. However, such fail to remediate severe oil contamination in long-term applications exhibit a serious water flux decline. Herein, universal combination strategy integrating the high coverage of mussel-inspired sticky interlayer double rigid cellulose nanofiber-amorphous calcium carbonate (CNF-ACC) composite outer layer is proposed prepare superhydrophilic coating surface superior anti-oil-fouling properties on diverse substrates. The introduction not only provides stable complete interface but also offers an anchor fix outstanding hydration CNF-ACC layer. high-coverage excellent characteristics, irrespective type oil, under various conditions, as water-prewetted or oil-fouled environments. Owing its property, coating-modified membrane shows separation emulsions without significant decline recovery ratio nearly 100%. In addition, this exhibits antifogging transparency, which may show promising optical devices.
