Novel flexible, thermally stable and hierarchical porous silica nanofibrous membranes with superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity were prepared by a facile in situ synthesis method, which can effectively separate oil-in-water micro-emulsions solely driven by gravity, with an extremely high flux of 2237 L m(-2) h(-1).
