Electrospun nanofibrous materials: a versatile medium for effective oil/water separation
Open accessAbstract
The separation of oil and water is a worldwide challenge due to the ever-increasing amount of oily industrial wastewater and polluted oceanic waters, as well as the increasing frequency of oil spill accidents. As the leader of advanced fibrous materials, electrospun nanofibers combine the properties of tunable wettability, large surface area, high porosity, good connectivity, fine flexibility, and ease of scalable synthesis from various materials (polymer, ceramic, carbon, etc.), and they hold great potential for many emerging environmental applications, including the separation of oily wastewater. In this review, the recent progress in the design and fabrication of electrospun nanofibrous materials with tunable surface wettability for oil/water separation applications is summarized and highlighted. This review covers the research and development starting from the design concepts and the synthesis of nanofibrous sorbents, nanofibrous membranes, and nanofibrous aerogels for effective oil/water separation. The review concludes with a brief forecast of challenges and future directions in this rapidly expanding field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
