Abstract

Combined with special wettability and photocatalytic properties, a TiO₂ nanocluster-based mesh was constructed, successfully used for emulsion separation and soluble contaminants degradation under UV illumination in one step, with extremely high flux and efficiency. This work provides a new way to develop multifunctional materials for potential use in water remediation.
