Non-activation MOF arrays as a coating layer to fabricate a stable superhydrophobic micro/nano flower-like architecture

Abstract

Non-activation metal–organic framework (MOF) arrays are directly applied as a coating layer to fabricate a stable superhydrophobic micro/nano flower-like architecture. The MOF functionalized surfaces can be synthesized easily on different substrates without any activation procedure or modification by low free energy materials, which exhibit attractive performance in oil/water separation.
