Herein, a facile method with the combined superhydrophobic coating and adhesive was used to fabricate superhydrophobic TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> NPs coated cellulose sponge. The developed materials exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity (WCA\u2009=\u2009171\u00b0) and superoleophilicity (OCA\u2009=\u20090\u00b0), which can separate a variety of oil-water mixtures, including chloroform, toluene, kerosene and other contaminations. A high separation efficiency up to 98.5% for chloroform-water mixture was achieved when used for gravity-driven oil\/water separation test. More importantly, the as-prepared samples exhibited excellent chemical stability and mechanical abrasion resistance even towards various corrosive oil\/water mixtures (such as strong acid, alkali solution and salt-water environment) or a strong abrasion by aluminium oxide sandpaper of 600 mesh. In addition, the separation efficiency remained above 93% even after 40 scratch cycles, and the materials could be reused with a stable hydrophobicity, indicating a strong potential for industrial application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-09912-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,21]],"date-time":"2017-08-21T09:04:50Z","timestamp":1503306290000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["A robust superhydrophobic TiO2 NPs coated cellulose sponge for highly efficient oil-water separation"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Hui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuqi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zexiang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lihui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liulian","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9580-4666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mizi","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"9912_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"28297","DOI":"10.1039\/C6CP04932J","volume":"18","author":"H Zhang","year":"2016","unstructured":"Zhang, H. et al.
