In article number 2000042, Huazheng Sai, Rui Fu and co‐workers report an environmentally friendly fabrication process to obtain bacterial cellulose membranes with superwettability for oil‐water separation. The ultrafine nanofiber web‐like structure and the intrinsic hydrophilicity of bacterial cellulose endow the membrane with superwettability and high oil‐water separation efficiencies for both oil‐water mixtures and emulsions.
