3D Monolayer Silanation of Porous Structure Facilitating Multi‐Phase Pollutants Removal (Small 47/2023)

Air/Water Purification In article number 2303658, Youfa Zhang and co-workers show a facile and simple method for fabricating hydrophobic activated carbon (AC) by surface monolayer silanation. The hydrophobic AC retains its high surface area, well-developed pore structure, and increases water repellency. Hydrophobic AC demonstrates a sound performance in the oily sewage treatment, air purification, harmful algae management, and algal toxin adsorption, which hold considerable promise for applications in life.
