Multifunctional superhydrophobic self-cleaning cotton fabrics with oil-water separation and dye degradation via thiol-ene click reaction

• Fluorine-free superhydrophobic and self-cleaning cotton fabric was fabricated. The modified tolerant towards different harsh conditions. prepared performed great oil–water separation MB photodegradation. efficiency above 99.8% with 6000 L·m ?2 ·h ?1 after 20 cycles. photodegradation 97% 5 Wastewater treatment is a process of significant socio-environmental implications, constantly calling for effective methods higher sustainability. In this work, an environment-friendly fluorine-free (C-S-TiO 2 fabric) successfully by the combination in-situ growth TiO hydrophobic modification octadecyl methacrylate (ODMA) thiol-ene click reaction. showed superhydrophobicity/superoleophilicity (water contact angle?156.2°), property ultra-high (>99.90 %) kinds mixtures flux up to 6800 L m h . It found that achieved oil 99.80 % Besides, C-S-TiO demonstrated excellent photocatalytic degradation rate methyl blue (MB) (98.0 still 97.0 Importantly, environments conditioned acidic solution, alkaline salt organic solvent. Herein, regarded as promising material complex wastewater treatment.
