Abstract
A superhydrophobic and superoleophilic composite comprises a porous material and a surface layer. The porous material includes a framework and a plurality of interconnecting pores formed inside the framework and interconnecting with each other. The framework has a plurality of skeletons connected with each other. The surface layer is coated on the surfaces of the skeletons and includes an adhesion medium and a plurality of graphene sheets stuck to the surfaces of the skeletons by the adhesion medium. The graphene sheets form a rough surface conforming to the skeletons. The superhydrophobic and superoleophilic composite can absorb oil or organic pollutants in water and can be reused.
