摘要
Oil absorbed by aerogels was an effective method for achieving efficient oil-water separation. However, absorbent regeneration and recovery of oil were key issues that limited the practical application of aerogels. In this work, carboxylated cellulose nanofibers/Ti3C2/exfoliated montmorillonite/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex-PNI) with switchable wettability was exploited through coordinately introduced exfoliated montmorillonite (MMTex), Ti3C2-MXene and thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) into carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (CNF-C) by a facile one-step hydrothermal and in-situ co-precipitation process. CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex-PNI was capable of reversible transformation between hydrophobic/oleophilic and hydrophilic/oleophobic, when the environmental temperature was above or below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST: 32 degrees C) of PNIPAAm. CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex-PNI could absorb oil within 5 s (54-98 g & sdot;g(-1)) under 45 degrees C and desorb oil within 10 min (recovery efficiency exceeds 78 %) at 25 degrees C. Moreover, the addition of MMTex inhibited the oxidation of Ti3C2, and Ti3C2/MMTex synergistically enhanced the mechanical properties (complete recovery under 60 % strain) and thermal stability of CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex/PNI. After 20 cycles, the absorption and desorption capacities of CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex/PNI for oils all decreased by 15 %. Moreover, the synthesis and fast-thermoresponsive mechanism for CNF-C/Ti3C2/MMTex/PNI were proposed. In conclusion, this work provides a new reference for the synthesis and recycling of smart aerogels for oil-water separation.
