Switchable Wettability Materials for Controllable Oil/Water Separation
Switchable wettability materials offer certain promise in controllable oil/water separation without external energy input. The accessibility of the associated stimuli‐responsive polymers undoubtedly offers a great promise in practical application. This chapter reviews the recent development in polymeric and photocatalytic inorganic materials with stimuli‐responsive and switchable wettability for controllable and on‐demand oil/water separation. Unlike thermal and pH responses that require the change of the properties of bulk water, photo‐responsive wettability is designed to efficiently target only the functionalized separation membrane and has its advantage of being contactless and remote. The materials with photo‐responsive and switchable wettability that can be used in oil/water separation can be classified into two types: inorganic and organic materials. In contrast to the single responsive systems, dual or multi‐responsive materials are able to intelligently respond to more than one trigger either simultaneously or independently, providing more intelligence for adapting diverse and complex conditions in practical applications.
