Pre‐wetted sand shows approximate underwater superoleophobicity and ultralow oil‐adhesion in water medium based on its strong water absorbing ability. In article number 1500650, a pre‐wetted sand layer was successfully applied in the field of oil‐water separation by J. Yong and co‐workers and showed extremely high separation efficiency and separation capacity. This method for separating oil and water is simple, almost free of cost, green, and very efficient.
