Janus membrane with asymmetric wettability for efficient oil/water separation.

ABSTRACT: The rapid development of society and industry as well as the frequent occurrence of oil spills cause the shortage of fresh water resources, which not only affects human safety and life, but also impedes the world-wide sustainable development. To address these challenges, novel membrane materials with unique wettability properties have gained significant attention, particularly in the field of oil/water separation. In this research, we modified the hydrophobic PET fabric to achieve superhydrophilic characteristics using impregnation method. Subsequently, we electrospun hydrophobic PVDF fibers onto the superhydrophilic fabric surface, and PVDF/Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂@PET Janus membrane with asymmetric wettability was obtained. The membrane has an excellent
