摘要

With the serious water contamination by frequent oil spill accidents and industrial wastewater emissions, superhydrophobic materials for oil–water separation have attracted considerable attention. In this study, an easily-prepared superhydrophobic paper was provided by using the dip-coating method, which involved depositing dopamine, copper sulfate, and dodecanethiol layer by layer on the surface of the paper to form a dense superhydrophobic surface. The prepared modified paper surface possessed excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 162° and an oil–water separation efficiency of more than 99% could be reached. Even after 40 cycles of oil–water separation, the separation efficiency and the water contact angle were still kept more than 95% and 150°, respectively. Additionally, the prepared superhydrophobic paper exhibited good self-cleaning properties and was highly resistant to acid, alkali, salt, and organic solutions. As a result, this study provided a new simple method to prepare functional superhydrophobic materials for oil–water separation.
