Abstract

Shortage of freshwater and deterioration of the marine environment have a serious effect on the human body and ecological environment. Here, we demonstrated a facile way to prepare a multiple-target superwetting porous material to obtain available water without cumbersome steps. Through the facile immersion and hydrothermal method, a charge-enhanced membrane material combining superwettability, electrostatic interaction, and the steric effect is prepared. Such a material breaks through the limitations of single size sieving and has a universal effect on different kinds of contaminants with accurate wettability manipulation and fluid separation control. The protonation and deprotonation of active carboxyl groups at the novel created solid/liquid interface facilitate the surface wettability and flux transition, which will bring out superior continuous separation and surface lubrication control.
