Superhydrophobic Fabrics for Oil/Water Separation Based on the Metal–Organic Charge‐Transfer Complex CuTCNAQ

摘要: The fabrication of a superhydrophobic nylon textile based on the organic charge-transfer complex CuTCNAQ (TCNAQ=11,11,12,12-tetracyanoanthraquinodimethane) is reported. fabric, which metallized with copper, undergoes spontaneous chemical reaction TCNAQ dissolved in acetonitrile to form nanorods that are intertwined over entire surface fabric. This creates necessary micro- and nanoscale roughness often allows Cassie-Baxter state be obtained high robustness, thereby achieving superhydrophobic/superoleophilic without need for fluorinated surface. material characterized SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron investigated its ability separate oil water two modes, namely through filtration as an absorbent material. It found fabric can dichloromethane, olive oil, crude from water, reduce content during separation process. reusable, highly durable, tolerant conditions such seawater, hydrochloric acid, extensive time periods shelf. Given copper-based semiconductor, there may also possibility other uses areas photocatalysis antibacterial applications.
