Abstract

in the dark and under 1 sun irradiation, respectively. Furthermore, P-CLS, with a CD-coated surface and a highly porous structure, shows a remarkable ability to release oil naturally, which reduces the energy required for the recovery process. The sponge achieves a self-releasing efficiency of 41.67%. This work provides a promising approach for practical oil spill remediation.
