Separation of water/alcohol miscible mixtures via direct filtration only under gravity is a great challenge. Here, different alkyl chain grafted-reduced graphene oxide (alkyl-RGO) is synthesized and characterized. The hydrophobic alkyl chains can considerably modify the oil-wettability of the membranes and avoid water permeation. The alkyl-RGO membrane obtained by vacuum filtration can separate water/oil immiscible mixtures. Importantly, water/alcohol miscible mixtures could also be separated solely under gravity, where alcohols effic
