▎ 摘  要

Superwetting materials have attracted considerable interest both in academia and industry. In this work, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated cotton (GCC) was prepared by a facile and inexpensive dip-coating method. By modification with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), superhydrophobic and superoleophilic GCC was obtained, which shows a water contact angle of 152 degrees. The PDMS-treated GCC exhibits selective absorption of organics and oils from water with an absorption capacity up to 11 to 25 times its weight. Also, the as-prepared product shows excellent stability and recyclability; both saturated absorption capacity and water CA value remain nearly unchanged after 9 cycles of use. Taking advantage of the excellent absorption selectivity, simple fabrication process, good stability and recyclability, this material may find a variety of applications such as in water treatment, purification, separation, oil spill cleanups and so on.
