a–c SEM images of (a) blank stainless-steel mesh, (b) gel membrane coating, and (c) local amplification. d–e column plots of (d) flux plots and (e) separation efficiency of some immiscible liquid pairs encountering over 10 reversible transformation cycles under gravity, where EG: ethylene glycol, GW: glycerin water solution (67.7%), n-Hex: n-hexane, o-DCB: o-dichlorobenzene, Food oil: peanut oil. Data are collected to get average values (n = 5). Scale bars, 50 μm (a, b), 2 μm (c). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
