Mechanically Strong, Scalable, Mesoporous Xerogels of Nanocellulose Featuring Light Permeability, Thermal Insulation, and Flame Self-Extinction

Wataru Sakuma et al.

Summary: Scalability is a challenge in the drying of nanoscale particle dispersions for producing aerogels. Evaporative drying under ambient pressure is proposed as a solution, but challenges remain in producing xerogels with specific structural profiles like aerogels. This study demonstrates the production of mesoporous xerogels with high porosity and high specific surface area using cellulose nanofibers, showing outstanding strength and multifunctionality.

Hierarchical Interface Engineering for Advanced Nanocellulosic Hybrid Aerogels with High Compressibility and Multifunctionality

Junyan Zhang et al.

Summary: By introducing an interfacial engineering strategy through freeze-drying-induced wetting and mineralization, the hierarchical porous cellulose network was reinforced to form mineral-coated nanocellulose hybrid aerogels. The resulting cellulose-based hybrid aerogels exhibit lightweight, superior mechanical compressibility, super-hydrophobicity, and moisture stability. This scalable and efficient assembly approach with optimized interfacial features enables high-performance cellulose-based aerogels for various applications.

Lignin-Based Porous Supraparticles for Carbon Capture

Bin Zhao et al.

Summary: Carbon supraparticles with hierarchical porous structures are synthesized from lignin and cellulose nanofibrils. These carbon SPs exhibit high mechanical strength, large surface area, and excellent CO2 adsorption capabilities with low pressure drop, addressing limitations in mass transport and kinetics often found in nanoparticle-based systems. Additionally, the carbon SPs do not require heteroatom doping for effective CO2 uptake and can be easily regenerated for multiple adsorption/desorption cycles, making them cost-effective and highly efficient for gas sorption and capture.
