Superhydrophobic/superoleophilic materials have shown great potential for applications in oil/water separation. However, practical applications of these materials are restricted due to their toxicity and complicated, expensive, and non-eco-friendly fabrication  procedures.  Here, we  have successfully developed an easy, simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly strategy towards the synthesis of superhydrophobic  and  superoleophilic  porous  polypyrrole  nanotubes.  Such wettability  has  been introduced into polypyrrole by co-doping with sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, a surfactant for lowering surface energy and controlling the morphology of the nanotubes. These non toxic and environment friendly polymer nanotubes exhibit oil absorption capability from oil/water mixtures with a reasonable efficiency with good reusability.
