Title: Photoluminescent, Ferromagnetic, and Hydrophobic Sponges for Oil-Water Separation
Abstract: To find a facile way to produce a hydrophobic sponge that can absorb oils is urgent to resolve the environmental pollution ecological disaster caused by oil spillage. Here, alkylated carbon (C dots) were prepared from pyrolysis of a mixture of dodecylamine citric acid followed by purification through silica gel column Polyurethane sponge was modified by alkylated C dots by simple dip-coating method, which endows the photoluminescent and sponge with good absorption capacities for various oils and organic solvents with high recyclability. The water contact of the modified sponge can reach 138.8 degrees. Interestingly, the enables visual absorption under UV irradiation in the dark, which not been achieved by other carbon-based adsorbents. The sponge was made ferromagnetic by introducing alkylated Fe3O4 nanoparticles into its structure, which allowed controllable oil-water separation.
