Popis: Remediation of wastewater containing dye molecules is necessary to alleviate the significant threat that poses to human health and the environment. Current treatment technologies are seriously limited by their low efficiency for removing small dye molecules or/and inferior regenerability. Herein, we report a bio-inspired, solar-driven, regenerable separation device capable of separating small dye molecules from the wastewater with high efficiency. The device is composed of porous super-hydrophilic ceramic and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In comparison with previously reported systems, the resultant device not only achieved a highly promising separation efficiency of >99% for dye-containing wastewater, even for small dye molecules (
