A steric acid-coated Fe3O4–ZnO nanocomposite shifts hydrophobicity under UV365 irradiation that leads to magnetic nanocomposites detachment from the concentrated algal biomass. Such unique hydrophobicity shift may also find many other potential applications that require recovery, recycle, and reuse of valuable nanomaterials to increase sustainability and economically viability.
