A nanoporous polymeric crystalline TiO₂ composite (TiO₂/PDVB-MA) has been successfully synthesized through an in situ synthesis method using divinylbenzene (DVB), methacrylic acid (MA) and tetrabutyl titanate. The experimental results showed that TiO₂ nanoparticles composed of the mixture phases of anatase and rutile were homogeneously dispersed into the PDVB-MA support. The TiO₂/PDVB-MA composite was used as photocatalyst for Rhodamine B (RhB), bisphenol A and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol degradation under visible light irradiation. More interestingly, the excellent photocatalytic performance of the composite was observed with regard to RhB and bisphenol A, which might be ascribed to the synergistic effect between TiO₂ nanoparticles and PDVB-MA. Moreover, TiO₂/PDVB-MA composite could be recycled at least four times in the removal of RhB, suggesting that it is a promising photocatalyst to catalyze the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation.

A nanoporous polymeric crystalline TiO₂ composite (TiO₂/PDVB-MA) has been successfully synthesized through an in situ synthesis method using divinylbenzene, methacrylic acid and tetrabutyl titanate. The TiO₂/PDVB-MA composite possesses excellent adsorptive performance and photocatalytic activity for organic pollutants degradation under visible light irradiation. This phenomenon is attributed to the rich porous structure of PDVB-MA support and the synergistic effect between TiO₂ nanoparticles and support.

Superlyophilic interfaces denote interfaces displaying strong affinity to diverse liquids, including superhydrophilic, superoleophilic, and superamphiphilic interfaces. When coming in contact with these interfaces, water or oil droplets tend to spread completely with contact angles close to 0°, presenting versatile applications including self-cleaning, antifogging, controllable liquid transport, liquid separation, and so forth. Inspired by nature, scientists have developed various kinds of artificial superlyophilic (SLPL) interfaces in the past decades. In terms of dimensional characteristics, the artificial SLPL interfaces can be divided into four categories: i) 0D particles, whose dispersibility or catalytic performance can be notably enhanced by superlyophilicity; ii) 1D micro-/nanofibers or nanotubes/channels, which can efficiently transfer liquids with SLPL interfaces; iii) 2D flat SLPL interfaces, on which different functional molecules can be deposited uniformly, forming ultrathin and smooth films; and iv) 3D structures, which can be obtained by either constructing 0D, 1D, or 2D SLPL materials separately or directly fabricating random SLPL frameworks, and can always be used as functional coatings or bulk materials. Here, natural and artificial SLPL interfaces are briefly introduced, followed by a short discussion of the limit between lyophilicity and lyophobicity, and then a snapshot of methods to generate SLPL interfaces is given. Specific focus is placed on recent achievements of constructing SLPL interfaces from zero to three dimensions. Following that, broad applications of SLPL interfaces in commercial areas will be introduced. Finally, a short summary and outlook for future challenges in this field is presented.

Recent progress regarding superlyophilic interfaces with different dimensions is reviewed, including 0D particles, 1D fibers or tubes, 2D flat interfaces, and 3D materials. Moreover, the broad applications of superlyophilic interfaces are described, spanning from conductivity enhancement and self-cleaning, liquid transport, and antifogging, to printing and liquid separation, heat transfer, and film fabrication.
