Porous Janus materials have attracted widespread attention due to their asymmetry in
wettability, charge, pore size or structure, thermal/electrical conductivity, and chemical …

Industrial developments in the oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food sector
have contributed to the large production of oily wastewater worldwide. Oily wastewater …

Oil–water separation membranes easily fail to oil foulants with low surface energy and high
viscosity, which severely limits these membranes' applications in treating oily wastewater …

Here, we present a proactive fouling prevention mechanism that endows superhydrophilic
membranes with antifouling capability against migratory viscous crude oil fouling. By …

Oil fouling threatens the water flux stability of membranes for oil/water separation. Simple
hydrophilic modification fights for an opportunity to prevent oil contamination but fails to …

Pressure‐driven membrane separation promises a sustainable energy‐water nexus but is
hindered by ubiquitous fouling. Natural systems evolved from prebiotic chemistry offer a …

Hydrogels are excellent for protecting membranes from oil fouling for oil/water separation.
However, conventional hydrogels including adhesive hydrogels have a contradictory …

Nanofiltration plays an increasingly large role in many industrial applications, such as water
treatment (eg, desalination, water softening, and fluoride removal) and resource recovery …

Purification of highly emulsified oily wastewater is of significance but challenging due to the
critical limitations of low efficiency and serious membrane blocking. Herein, inspired by the …

Superhydrophobic membranes are desirable for separation of water-in-oil emulsions,
membrane distillation, and membrane condensation. However, the lack of large-scale …
