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

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

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 …

Water–energy sustainability will depend upon the rapid development of advanced pressure-
driven separation membranes. Although energy-efficient, water-treatment membranes are …

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 …

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

Current single-function superwettable materials are typically designed for either oil removal
or water removal and are constrained by oil density, limiting their widespread applications …
