One-Step Versatile Fabrication of Superhydrophilic Filters for the Efficient Purification of Oily Water.

ABSTRACT: As industrial oily wastewater can seriously damage ecosystems, the use of filtration technology with functional filters has emerged as an effective approach for purifying oily wastewater and protecting the environment. Although several methods for preparing functional filters with specific wettability have been reported, most methods are complicated, expensive, and time-consuming. Furthermore, these methods are only applicable to specific substrates, which hinder their practical applications. Here, a simple and versatile method for the fabrication of a superhydrophilic filter on any substrate using a one-step dipping process is reported. The method is easily scaled-up to fabricate large-area superhydrophilic filters; moreover, mass production is possible using a roll-to-roll process. The r
