A liquid-based Janus porous membrane for convenient liquid-liquid extraction and immiscible oil/water separation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Nov 28;55(96):14486-14489. doi: 10.1039/c9cc07593c.

Abstract

A novel liquid-based Janus porous membrane system was developed through the simple infusion of water and oil within different surfaces. This generates a stable liquid-infusion interface that repels immiscible organic solvents and water, and itself floats at the oil/water interface as a separator. The developed membrane successfully acts as a simple alternative for high-performance liquid separation.
