Abstract

Abstract : In situ emulsions separation and purification were realized by a TiO2 nanocluster-based mesh in an ultrafast and efficient way. Abstract : Combined with special wettability and photocatalytic properties, a TiO2 nanocluster-based mesh was constructed, successfully used for emulsion separation and soluble contaminants degradation under UV illumination in one step, with extremely high flux and efficiency. This work provides a new way to develop multifunctional materials for potential use in water remediation.
