Abstract Global water resources have been continuously polluted due to industrial progress. Increasingly frequent oil spill accidents as well as oily industrial wastewater discharges have further led to the severe pollution of various water resources. Therefore, oil/water separation has recently become an important issue in scientific research and practical applications. To address abovementioned issues, various types of superhydrophobic/superoleophilic materials, such as metal meshes, sponges, and polymer, have been reported for oil/water separation. Various hierarchical structures with large water contact angles have been proposed for enhancing the separation efficiency or the flux capacity of various oils. However, most efforts have reported methods that focus on the separation itself of oils from oil/water mixtures rather than on the purification of pollutants that remain in the water after the oil/water separation. This situation led us to develop a smart composite membrane for simultaneous oil/water separation and pollutant purification.
