Fabrication of superhydrophobic and superoleophilic copper oxide nanostructures without organic modifiers for oil–water separation

Abstract Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic hierarchical urchin-like copper oxide powders were synthesized by a facile one-step method without the use of low-surface-energy modifiers. The selective wettability of the powders toward water and oil makes them suitable for oil adso...
