Abstract
This paper demonstrates the strategic molecular design of functional polymer monoliths comprised of mesoporous fibers with stimuli-responsive Joule-heating properties for the rapid and efficient recovery of viscous fuel oil from water. The mesoporous fibers were composed of carefully selected monomers, which spontaneously entangled with each other to form a spongy monolith in a one-pot synthesis process. The subsequent addition of polypyrrole nanoparticles to the polymer produced superwettable intertwined fibers with strain-responsive conductivity, allowing the monolith to be used as a compressible, fibrous, and porous adsorbent with a high-flux separation capability and a tunable electrical heating effect. This adsorbent was demonstrated to successfully separate different types of low-viscosity oil from water in a continuous, highly efficient process. It also induced a rapid increase in the temperature during the recovery of marine fuel oil (MFO 380), with a minimal compression of 3% under an external voltage. The proposed adsorbent can thus be used for the effective recovery of various fuel oils and improved further by incorporating other synergistic components for various water-treatment systems.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Environmental Materials (EEM) is an international journal published by Zhengzhou University in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The journal aims to publish high quality research related to materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and transport, as well as for creating a cleaner environment. EEM welcomes research work of significant general interest that has a high impact on society-relevant technological advances. The scope of the journal is intentionally broad, recognizing the complexity of issues and challenges related to energy and environmental materials. Therefore, interdisciplinary work across basic science and engineering disciplines is particularly encouraged. The areas covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, materials and composites for photovoltaics and photoelectrochemistry, bioprocessing, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, clean air, and devices with multifunctionality. The readership of the journal includes chemical, physical, biological, materials, and environmental scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and policy-making.
