A solar-heated Janus sponge with excellent floating stability for efficient cleanup of heavy oil

The inefficient cleanup of viscous heavy oil is thought as a worldwide problem because of its poorer fluidity at room temperature. Herein, we make full use of the photothermal performance to harvest solar energy and convert heat into heavy oil, thus reducing significantly oil viscosity and realizing...
