Background:

Efficient oil-water separation is critical for environmental protection and industrial processes.
Existing materials often face challenges in scalability, cost, and long-term performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a scalable and cost-effective method for fabricating highly efficient 3D superhydrophobic porous materials.
To precisely control pore size and surface properties for optimized oil-water separation.

Main Methods:

Optimizing fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing parameters (speed, extrusion multiplier, layer height) to create precise 3D porous architectures.
Spray-coating the printed structures to achieve a superhydrophobic surface with a high water contact angle.
Testing the material's performance in a continuous oil-water separation system over 24 hours.

Main Results:

Achieved high-precision 3D porous structures with uniform pore sizes ranging from 186.7 µm to 677.3 µm.
Created a superhydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of 158.2°.
Demonstrated stable oil removal performance over 24 hours, with a maximum separation efficiency of 88.6%.

Conclusions:

Established a scalable, low-cost approach for fabricating efficient 3D superhydrophobic porous materials.
The developed material exhibits strong durability and long-term applicability for oil-water separation.
Presents new opportunities for effective oil spill cleanup and industrial wastewater treatment.
