Abstract

A versatile and facile synthetic route toward a ultralight hierarchical poroushybrid composed of metal-organic gels and fluorinated graphene oxide is reported. The composite gels show excellent absorbency of oil and various organic solvents due to their prominent meso/macropores, notable hydrophobicity, and superoleophilicity.

Keywords: coordination perturbation; hierarchical porosity; hydrophobic/oleophilic materials; metal-organic gels (MOG); oil uptakes.
