Abstract:The fluoride-free fabrication of superhydrophobic materials for the separation of oil/water mixtures has received widespread attention because of frequent offshore oil exploration and chemical leakage. In recent years, oil/water separation materials, based on metal meshes, have drawn much attention, with significant advantages in terms of their high mechanical strength, easy availability, and long durability. However, it is still challenging to prepare superhydrophobic metal meshes with high-separation capacit… Show more
“…As an alternative to the above material, samples based on metal meshes have some specific advantages, especially in terms of their high mechanical strength, although it is challenging to prepare metal meshes with high separation capacities. A material with interesting properties was prepared by anchoring Fe 2 O 3 nanoclusters (Fe 2 O 3 -NCs) on a stainless steel mesh via the in situ flame synthesis method and followed by further modification with octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTS) [ 27 ]. The oil–water separation efficiencies of the samples were found to be more than 97.5%, for all the oil/water mixtures.…”
