BinJiang, ZhenxingChen, HaozhenDou, YongliSun, HongjieZhang, Zi QiangGong, LuhongZhang School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, People’s Republic of China Highlights A one-step hydrothermal method was first applied to superhydrophilic modification. The superhydrophilicity was attributed to surface fluorination and flower-like TiO2 nanostructures. The modified surface exhibited outstanding stability towards corrosive conditions. Various emulsions can be separated with high Read More …
