Cork Membrane for Efficient Oil and Water Separation

Hydrogen bubble-templated electrodeposition of superhydrophobic Zn–Ni films

“…3 Superhydrophobicity is a special wettability, which usually refers to the water contact angles of the surface being greater than 1501, and the droplets falling on the surface with superhydrophobic properties are almost spherical and easy to roll. 4,5 A superhydrophobic surface is considered to be a material armour because of its beneficial performances of selfcleaning, corrosion resistance, drag reduction, anti-icing, and oil-water separation, and has been used in waterproof, antifouling, self-cleaning, fluid drag reduction, bacteriostasis and other fields. [6][7][8][9][10] Surface rough structure and surface energy are the main factors influencing the surface wettability of materials.…”
