The porous polydimethylsiloxane@wood sponge/MXene (PDMS@WSM) with satisfactory compressibility and hydrophobic/lipophilic ability was demonstrated as crude oil absorbent. Due to the excellent Joule heating and photothermal conversion effect, the PDMS@WSM displayed maximum adsorption capacity of 11.2...
