High throughput production of a self-floating MIL-88A(Fe)@polyurethane sponge for efficient oil/water separation.

A durable and efficient hydrophobic/superoleophilic MIL-88A(Fe)@sponge (MS) with high throughput was fabricated via the dip-coating technique. Its adsorption capacities for pump oil, peanut oil, and CCl 4 were 32.13 g g -1 , 34.85 g g -1 , and 34.25 g g -1 , respectively. The hydrophobic surface of MS has excellent chemical resistance and physical stability in harsh environments.
