Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129245. [PMID: 38191109 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
Aerogels with low thermal conductivity and high adsorption capacity present a promising solution to curb water pollution caused by organic reagents as well as mitigate heat loss. Although aerogels exhibiting good adsorption capacity and thermal insulation have been reported, materials with mechanical integrity, high flexibility and shear resistance still pose a formidable task. Here, we produced bacterial cellulose-based ultralight multifunctional hybrid aerogels by using freeze-drying followed by chemical vapor deposition silylation method. The hybrid aerogels displayed a low density of 10-15 mg/cm3, high porosity exceeding 99.1 %, low thermal conductivity (27.3-29.2 mW/m.K) and superior hydrophobicity (water contact angle>120o). They also exhibited excellent mechanical properties including superelasticity, high flexibility and shear resistance. The hybrid aerogels demonstrated high heat shielding efficiency when used as an insulating material. As a selective oil absorbent, the hybrid aerogels exhibit a maximum adsorption capacity of up to approximately 156 times its own weight and excellent recoverability. Especially, the aerogel's highly accessible porous microstructure results in an impressive flux rate of up to 162 L/h.g when used as a filter in a continuous oil-water separator to isolate n-hexane-water mixtures. This work presents a novel endeavor to create high-performance, sustainable, reusable, and adaptable multifunctional aerogels.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated the preparation of novel three-dimensional (3D) superamphiphilic g-C3N4@carbon nanofibers foam (g-C3N4@CNFs) via a two-step approach: liquid nitrogen treatment-freeze-drying; the foams possessed good thermal stability. In this approach, melamine acted as a nitrogen source, and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFCs) functioned as a 3D skeleton. The thermal stability of the as-prepared g-C3N4@CNFs-3 foam was much higher than that of g-C3N4@CNFs-1, as indicated by thermogravimetric data, including an increase of the onset weight loss point (Tonset) by 238.6 °C and an improvement of the maximal weight loss rate (Tmax) by 258.8 °C. The combination of g-C3N4 with CNFs conferred a reduction in the heat release rate (ca. -86%) and the total heat release (ca. -75%). Furthermore, the composition of the hydrophilically oxygenated functional groups and hydrophobic triazine domains in g-C3N4@CNFs rendered it a unique amphiphilic property (contact angle close to 0° within 1.0 s for water and 0° within 12 ms for hexane). A high storage capacity for water and various organic solvents of the superamphiphilic g-C3N4@CNFs foam was found, up to 40-50 times its original weight. The discovery of these superamphiphilic foams is of great significance for the development of superwetting materials and may find their applications in oil emulsion purification and catalyst support fields.

Abstract
Uneven zinc (Zn) deposition typically leads to uncontrollable dendrite growth, which renders an unsatisfactory cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency (CE) of aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), restricting their practical application. In this work, a lightweight and flexible three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanofiber architecture with uniform Zn seeds (CNF-Zn) is prepared from bacterial cellulose (BC), a kind of biomass with low cost, environmental friendliness, and abundance, as a host for highly reversible Zn plating/stripping and construction of high-performance aqueous ZIBs. The as-prepared 3D CNF-Zn with a porous interconnected network significantly decreases the local current density, and the functional Zn seeds provide uniform nuclei to guide the uniform Zn deposition. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Zn seeds and the 3D porous framework in the flexible CNF-Zn host, the electrochemical performance of the as-constructed ZIBs is significantly improved. This flexible 3D CNF-Zn host delivers a high and stable CE of 99.5% over 450 cycles, ensuring outstanding rate performance and a long cycle life of over 500 cycles at 4 A g-1 in the CNF-Zn@Zn//NaV3O8·1.5H2O full battery. More importantly, owing to the flexibility of the 3D CNF-Zn host, the as-assembled pouch cell shows outstanding mechanical flexibility and excellent energy storage performance. This strategy of producing readily accessible carbon from biomass can be employed to develop advanced functional nanomaterials for next-generation flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Cellulose-based, closed-cell porous materials templated from emulsions are promising for thermal insulation, but their low stability imposed by physical interaction hinders the materials from real applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of cellulose-based, flexible polyurethane polyHIPEs with quasi-closed-cell structures, high stability and flexibility for thermal insulation. The polyHIPEs were prepared from cellulose-stabilized Pickering high internal phase emulsions through interfacial crosslinking using isocyanate. The resulting polyurethane polyHIPEs showed controllable external shapes, quasi-closed-cell structures, high flexibility, low density, and robust compression (without fracture even after compression to 30 % original height). The crosslinking enabled the polyHIPEs to show hydrophobicity, good stability (without breakage and dissolution observed after immersing in NaOH solution at pH 12, HCl solution at pH 1 and hot water at 100 °C, for 24 h) and decreased moisture uptake (below 1 %). The low density and quasi-closed-cell structures endowed the polyHIPEs with high thermal insulation, with thermal conductivity as low as 33.1 mW/(m K). These features make the cellulose-based, closed-cell polyHIPEs as an excellent candidate for thermal insulting.

Abstract
The development of sustainable, biodegradable, non-toxic biomass foams with outstanding physical properties to replace traditional petroleum-based foams is urgent. In this work, we proposed a simple, efficient, and scalable approach to fabricate nanocellulose (NC) interface enhanced all-cellulose foam through ethanol liquid phase exchange and subsequent ambient drying. In this process, NCs served as reinforcer and binder were integrated with pulp fiber to improve cellulose interfibrillar bonding and interface adhesion between NCs and pulp microfibrils. The resultant all-cellulose foam displayed stable microcellular structure (porosity of 91.7-94.5 %), low apparent density (0.08-0.12 g/cm3), and high compression modulus (0.49-2.96 MPa) by regulating the content and size of NCs. Further, the strengthening mechanism of the structure and property of all-cellulose foam were investigated in detail. This proposed process enabled ambient drying, and is simple and feasible for low-cost, practicable, and scalable production of biodegradable, green bio-based foam without special apparatuses and other chemicals.

Abstract
Carbon material-based aerogels (CMBAs) have three-dimensional porous structure, high specific surface area, low density, high thermal stability, good electric conductivity, and abundant surface-active sites, and, therefore, have shown great application potential in energy storage, environmental remediation, electrochemical catalysis, biomedicine, analytical science, electronic devices, and others. In this work, we present recent progress on the fabrication, structural design, functional tailoring, and gas adsorption applications of CMBAs, which are prepared by precursor materials, such as polymer-derived carbon, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, graphene-like carbides, fullerenes, and carbon dots. To achieve this aim, first we introduce the fabrication methods of various aerogels, and, then, discuss the strategies for regulating the structures of CMBAs by adjusting the porosity and periodicity. In addition, the hybridization of CMBAs with other nanomaterials for enhanced properties and functions is demonstrated and discussed through presenting the synthesis processes of various CMBAs. After that, the adsorption performances and mechanisms of functional CMBAs towards CO2, CO, H2S, H2, and organic gases are analyzed in detail. Finally, we provide our own viewpoints on the possible development directions and prospects of this promising research topic. We believe this work is valuable for readers to understand the synthesis methods and functional tailoring of CMBAs, and, meanwhile, to promote the applications of CMBAs in environmental analysis and safety monitoring of harmful gases.

Abstract
By virtue of their extraordinarily high surface areas, ordered pore structures, various compositions, and rich functionality, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of great interest in diverse fields such as gas separation, sensing, catalysis, energy, environment science, and biomedicine. However, the difficulty in processing MOF crystals and controlling the MOF superstructure is emerging as a critical issue in their application. Herein, it is reported that a robust template, i.e., nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), can be used for the synthesis of MOF materials with 1D nanofiber morphology. NFC@MOF core-shell nanofibers with a uniform network structure and high aspect ratios can be prepared by use of this template. The small crystal size, flexibility, and good dispersity of the NFC@MOF nanofibers make it convenient for the macroscale assembly and solution processing of MOF materials. A proof-of-concept study is demonstrated wherein freestanding MOF nanofiber membranes represent good performance in applications of water treatment and heterogeneous catalysis reaction. This general synthesis and solution-processing strategy may herald a new era in promoting the industrial application of MOFs.

Abstract
The development of functional biomass-based carbon aerogels (CAs) with excellent mechanical flexibility and ultra-high phosphate capture capacity is crucial for capture and recovery of phosphate from waste water. Herein, a functional biomass-derived CA (MgO@SL/CMC CA) with an ordered wave-shaped layered structure and excellent compressibility was fabricated with the aim of creating a material with efficient phosphate capture performance. The incorporation of sulfonomethylated lignin (SL) significantly improves the mechanical flexibility of MgO@SL/CMC CA. Numerous MgO nano-particles (NPs), which act as principal adsorption sites, were uniformly anchored on the MgO@SL/CMC CA. The prepared MgO@SL/CMC CA with high Mg content (20.34 wt%) exhibited an ultra-high phosphate capture capacity (218.51 mg P g-1 for adsorbent or 644.58 mg P g-1 for MgO), excellent adsorptive selectivity for phosphate and a wide pH range of application (2-8). Notably, more than 81.95% of the phosphate capture capacity was retained after six cyclic adsorption-desorption tests. A considerable effective treatment volume (468 BV) of actual wastewater (1.7 mg P L-1) could be achieved by the MgO@SL/CMC CA in the fixed-bed adsorption column. Research into the adsorption mechanism reveals that monolayer chemisorption of phosphate occurs on the MgO@SL/CMC CA through a ligand exchange process. The combination of favorable flexibility, green raw materials and superior phosphate capture performance endows MgO@SL/CMC CA with great application potential in the practical treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
Conventional plastic foams are usually produced by fossil-fuel-derived polymers, which are difficult to degrade in nature. As an alternative, cellulose is a promising biodegradable polymer that can be used to fabricate greener foams, yet such a process typically relies on methods (e.g., freeze-drying and supercritical-drying) that are hardly scalable and time-consuming. Here, we develop a fast and scalable approach to prepare cellulose-graphite foams via rapidly cross-linking the cellulose fibrils in metal ions-containing solution followed by ambient drying. The prepared foams exhibit low density, high compressive strength, and excellent water stability. Moreover, the cross-linking of the cellulose fibrils can be triggered by various metal ions, indicating good universality. We further use density functional theory to reveal the cross-linking effect of different ions, which shows good agreement with our experimental observation. Our approach presents a sustainable route toward low-cost, environmentally friendly, and scalable foam production for a range of applications.

Abstract
Various single metal sites supported on N-doped carbon materials have been demonstrated to be effective catalysts for CO2 electroreduction. However, it remains a challenging task to gain comprehensive understanding on how the local electronic structures of single metal catalytic sites are rationally tuned, which eventually holds the key to significantly enhance the electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we implement B-N bonds into an N-doped 3D graphene framework by B doping to further stabilize the supported catalytic Ni single-sites and simultaneously tune their local electronic structure. Moreover, electrochemical in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy reveals that the B-N bonds can further facilitate the production of pivotal *COOH intermediates in comparison with only N doping. As a result, the Ni single-site catalyst on the B, N co-doped 3D graphene framework achieves excellent catalytic performance with a CO faradaic efficiency (FE) of 98% and a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 20.1 s-1 at -0.8 V (vs. RHE), whereas the FE and TOF for the control sample without B doping are as low as 62% and 6.0 s-1, respectively. This work highlights the superiority of modulating local electronic structures of single-site catalysts toward efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Biomass-derived three-dimensional (3D) porous nanocarbons have attracted much attention due to their high surface area, permeability, electrical conductivity, and renewability, which are beneficial for various electronic applications, including energy storage. Cellulose, the most abundant and renewable carbohydrate polymer on earth, is a promising precursor to fabricate 3D porous nanocarbons by pyrolysis. However, the pyrolysis of cellulosic materials inevitably causes drastic carbon loss and volume shrinkage. Thus, polydopamine doping prior to the pyrolysis of cellulose nanofiber paper is proposed to fabricate the 3D porous nanocarbons with improved yield and volume retention. Our results show that a small amount of polydopamine (4.3 wt%) improves carbon yield and volume retention after pyrolysis at 700 °C from 16.8 to 26.4% and 15.0 to 19.6%, respectively. The pyrolyzed polydopamine-doped cellulose nanofiber paper has a larger specific surface area and electrical conductivity than cellulose nanofiber paper that without polydopamine. Owing to these features, it also affords a good specific capacitance up to 200 F g−1 as a supercapacitor electrode, which is higher than the recently reported cellulose-derived nanocarbons. This method provides a pathway for the effective fabrication of high-performance cellulose-derived 3D porous nanocarbons.

Abstract
The controlled assembly of nanowires is one of the key challenges in the development of a range of functional 3D aerogels with unique physicochemical properties for practical applications. However, the deep understanding of the dynamic assemble process for fabricating nanowire aerogels remains elusive. Herein, a facile strategy is presented for the metallic ion-induced assembly of nanowires into macroscopic aerogels via a solution-based process. This method enables the interconnecting between polymer-decorated nanowires via metallic coordination, resulting in plenty of nanowire bundles with the same orientation. Besides, the coordinated binding strength of nanowires with different metallic ions is also discussed. The assembly mechanism that the metallic ions induced dynamic behavior of nanowires is revealed via molecular dynamics theoretical evaluation. These findings benefit for constructing nanowire-based aerogels with unique structural features and multi-function, which pave new opportunities for other material systems.

Abstract
Powered by a renewable electricity source, electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction is a promising solution to facilitate the carbon balance. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a desired product with commercial current density and high efficiency. Herein we designed quasi-square-shaped cadmium hydroxide nanocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction to CO. It was discovered that the catalyst is very active and selective for the reaction. The current density could be as high as 200 mA cm-2 with a nearly 100% selectivity in a commonly used H-type cell using the ionic liquid-based electrolyte. In addition, the faradaic efficiency of CO could reach 90% at a very low overpotential of 100 mV. Density functional theory studies and control experiments reveal that the outstanding performance of the catalyst was attributed to its unique structure. It not only provides low Cd-O coordination, but also exposes high activity (002) facet, which requires lower energy for the formation of CO. Besides, the high concentration of CO can be achieved from the low concentration CO2 via an adsorption-electrolysis device.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for high-performance electronic devices in smart textiles, various types of flexible/wearable electronic device (i.e., supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, etc.) have emerged regularly.

In particular, carbon materials from lignocellulosic biomass precursor have the characteristics of low cost, natural abundance, high specific surface area, excellent electrochemical stability, etc. Moreover, their chemical structures usually contain a large number of heteroatomic groups, which greatly contribute to the capacitive performance of the corresponding flexible supercapacitors. This review summarizes the working mechanism, configuration of flexible electrodes, conversion of lignocellulosic biomass-derived carbon electrodes, and their corresponding electrochemical properties in flexible/wearable supercapacitors.

Abstract
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) exhibit the advantages of high mechanical strength, good conductivity, easy production, and low cost, which have shown wide applications in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedicine, tissue engineering, sensors, wearable electronics, and other aspects. To promote the applications of CNF-based nanomaterials in wearable devices, the flexibility, electronic conductivity, thickness, weight, and bio-safety of CNF-based films/membranes are crucial. In this review, we present recent advances in the fabrication of CNF-based composite nanomaterials for flexible wearable devices. For this aim, firstly we introduce the synthesis and functionalization of CNFs, which promote the optimization of physical, chemical, and biological properties of CNFs. Then, the fabrication of two-dimensional and three-dimensional CNF-based materials are demonstrated. In addition, enhanced electric, mechanical, optical, magnetic, and biological properties of CNFs through the hybridization with other functional nanomaterials by synergistic effects are presented and discussed. Finally, wearable applications of CNF-based materials for flexible batteries, supercapacitors, strain/piezoresistive sensors, bio-signal detectors, and electromagnetic interference shielding devices are introduced and discussed in detail. We believe that this work will be beneficial for readers and researchers to understand both structural and functional tailoring of CNFs, and to design and fabricate novel CNF-based flexible and wearable devices for advanced applications.

Abstract
Cellulose is the most abundant renewable natural polymer on earth, but it does not conduct electricity, which limits its application expansion. The existing methods of making cellulose conductive are combined with another conductive material or high-temperature/high-pressure carbonization of the cellulose itself, while in the traditional method of sulfuric acid hydrolysis to extract nanocellulose, it is usually believed that a too high temperature will destroy cellulose and lead to experimental failure. Now, based on a new research perspective, by controlling the continuous reaction process and isolating oxygen, we directly extracted intrinsically conductive cellulose nanofiber (CNF) from biomass, where the confined range molecular chains of CNF were converted to highly graphitized carbon at only 90 °C and atmospheric pressure, while large-scale twisted graphene films can be synthesized bottom-up from CNFene suspensions, called CNFene (cellulose nanofiber-graphene). The conductivity of the best CNFene can be as high as 1.099 S/cm, and the generality of this synthetic route has been verified from multiple biomass cellulose sources. By comparing the conventional high-pressure hydrothermal and high-temperature pyrolysis methods, this study avoided the dangerous high-pressure environment and saved 86.16% in energy. These findings break through the conventional notion that nanocellulose cannot conduct electricity by itself and are expected to extend the application potential of pure nanocellulose to energy storage, catalysis, and sensing.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 413:125438.

Abstract
The carbon catalyst has been widely used as a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator to degrade organic contaminants. The biomass carbon aerogel (CA) derived from poplar powder was synthesized in this study. CA with three-dimensional structure exhibited an excellent degradation performance of PMS activation for different types of organic contaminants including bisphenol A (BPA), rhodamine 6 G, phenol, and p-chlorophenol with the removal efficiencies up to 91%, 100%, 100%, and 60% within 60 min, respectively. It was found that singlet oxygen (1O2) dominated the non-radical pathway worked for BPA removal in CA/PMS system. The possible mechanism for PMS activation was discussed. A portion of 1O2 was produced through the transformation of superoxide radical (O2•-) in CA/PMS system. Electronic impedance spectroscopy (EIS) proved that the hierarchical structure of CA contributed to the electron transfer process for PMS activation. The ketonic/carbonyl groups (C˭O) on the surface of CA could serve as a possible active site to facilitate the generation of 1O2. In addition, CA showed superior degradation performance in actual water bodies and reusability with high-temperature regeneration treatment. This study developed an efficient and environmentally benign catalyst for water remediation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Ion transport and regulation are fundamental processes for various devices and applications related to energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, sensing, ionotronics, and biotechnology. Wood-based materials, fabricated by top-down or bottom-up approaches, possess a unique hierarchically porous fibrous structure that offers an appealing material platform for multiscale ion regulation. The ion transport behavior in these materials can be regulated through structural and compositional engineering from the macroscale down to the nanoscale, imparting wood-based materials with multiple functions for a range of emerging applications. A fundamental understanding of ion transport behavior in wood-based structures enhances the capability to design high-performance ion-regulating devices and promotes the utilization of sustainable wood materials. Combining this unique ion regulation capability with the renewable and cost-effective raw materials available, wood and its derivatives are the natural choice of materials toward sustainability.

Abstract
Advanced thermal insulation materials with low thermal conductivity and robustness derived from regenerative resources are badly needed for building energy conservation. Among them, nanofibrillated cellulose aerogels have huge application potential in the field of thermal insulation materials, but it is still a challenge to prepare cellulose aerogels of excellent comprehensive properties in a simple way. Herein, we demonstrate a unidirectional freeze-drying strategy to develop a novel "robust-soft" anisotropic nanofibrillated cellulose aerogel (NFC-Si-T) by integrating nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and Si-O-Si bonding networks under the catalytic dehydration of p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH). The anisotropic structure endows the NFC-Si-T with high flexibility that can be easily bent or even tied with a knot, and in addition, it possesses high Young's modulus (1-3.66 MPa) that can resist the compression weight of 10,000 times of its own weight without deformation. Furthermore, the NFC-Si-T aerogels exhibit anisotropic thermal insulation performances with a low average thermal conductivity (0.028-0.049 W m-1 K-1). More importantly, the limited oxygen index of the NFC-Si-T reaches up to 42.6-51%, showing excellent flame-retardant performance. Therefore, the "robust-soft" anisotropic NFC-Si-T aerogels can be used as an advanced thermal insulation material for building thermal insulation applications.

Abstract
Chitin-derived three-dimensional nanomaterials has tremendous potential in pesticide residue analysis as an attractive green substitute for toxic solvents. The work presented herein focuses on constructing the environmentally friendly nitrogen-containing chitin-derived carbon microspheres (N-CCMP) for the efficient adsorption of neonicotinoid pesticides (NPs) including acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. The N-CCMP displayed hierarchical porous structure, uniform size distribution, and excellent specific surface area of 680.8 m2 g-1. The N-CCMP with N-heterocyclic ring structure and surface oxygen functional groups exhibited good affinity to NPs, which was beneficial for the rapid adsorption. Then, the N-CCMP were utilized as sorbent in extraction of NP residues. Under the optimum conditions, the relative recoveries in water and juice sample were in the range of 85 %-116 % and 74 %-108 %, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.1 %∼5.2 % and 0.7 %∼5.2 %, respectively. The extraction performance of N-CCMP were still over 80 % after 5 times of reuse.

Abstract
Assembly of nanowires into three-dimensional macroscopic aerogels not only bridges a gap between nanowires and macroscopic bulk materials but also combines the benefits of two worlds: unique structural features of aerogels and unique physical and chemical properties of nanowires, which has triggered significant progress in the design and fabrication of nanowire-based aerogels for a diverse range of practical applications. This article reviews the methods developed for processing nanowires into three-dimensional monolithic aerogels and the applications of the resultant nanowire aerogels in many emerging fields. Detailed discussions are given on gelation mechanisms involved in every preparation method and the pros and cons of the different methods. Furthermore, we systematically scrutinize the application of nanowire-based aerogels in the fields of thermal management, energy storage and conversion, catalysis, adsorbents, sensors, and solar steam generation. The unique benefits offered by nanowire-based aerogels in every application field are clarified. We also discuss how to improve the performance of nanowire-based aerogels in those fields by engineering the compositions and structures of the aerogels. Finally, we provide our perspectives on future development of nanowire-based aerogels.

Abstract
Although noble metal or non-noble metal-catalyzed reactions are widely used, it is still difficult to apply these reactions in the large-scale synthesis of chemicals because most of the reactions are carried out by the inefficient batch reaction strategy. Herein, Pickering emulsion-based continuous flow catalysis was utilized to address this problem. Cellulose nanofibers with aldehyde groups (ACNF) were generated through oxidizing C2 and C3 hydroxyl groups of cellulose nanofibers into aldehyde groups by NaIO4, followed by in situ depositing Ag nanoparticles on ACNF to produce Ag-decorated ACNF (ACNF@Ag) via a facile aldehyde-induced reduction method. ACNF@Ag with ∼2 wt % Ag (ACNF@Ag2) has been used to prepare the Pickering emulsion by controlling the electrostatic interaction between ACNF@Ag2 and the oil-water interface via adjusting the pH. It was found that the Pickering emulsion could be generated at a pH around 3.29 and was determined to be the oil-in-water emulsion. The reduction of organic molecules (4-nitrophenol (4-NP), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO)) was selected as a model reaction to test the reliability of the Pickering emulsion in continuous flow catalysis, which demonstrated very high conversion rates for 4-NP (>98%, 50 h), MB (>99%, 30 h), and MO (>96%, 40 h).

Abstract
The intensive progress of information technology increases the demand for urgent development of practical materials for microwave absorption (MA), meeting the general requirement "thin, wide, light and strong". In the past 6 years, graphene is of great interest for MA performance due to its unique properties such as high specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, strong dielectric loss, and low density. Taking in account that the structure of absorber plays a key role in MA performance, the attempts to produce an efficient microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) have led to 3D graphene - aerogels and foams - due to their extremely high porosity, large specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties with ability of compression and further maintaining the original shape, lightweight, reduced agglomeration of graphene sheets. All listed parameters enhance the impedance matching of MAMs, generate the synergistic loss effects, thereby improving the MA properties. The review describes the bases of MA theory and summarizes the recent achievements in the fabrication of pure 3D graphene networks and their composites with magnetic, ceramic nanoparticles and nanowires, polymers, MXenes, and multicomponent systems, directed to improve the impedance matching and generate loss mechanisms for the overall improvement of their performance as MAMs.

Abstract
In this study, modified cellulose aerogels (CAs) were obtained via wet ball-milling and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation and were further applied to prepare cellulose-derived carbon aerogels (CCAs) by pyrolyzing. The results showed that the successive treatments by ball-milling and oxidation completely opened the CA fibers and converted them into plane or wrinkle structures. CCAs contained porous and graphite-like structures and its specific surface area reached up to 2825 m2/g. The maximum adsorption capacities of CCAs were 1078 mg/g for methylene blue (MB) and 644 mg/g for alizarin reds (ARS). The sorption of dyes occurred via hydrophobic partition, pore-filling, H-bonding, p/π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions. For the cationic MB, electrostatic attraction reinforced the sorption, while the electrostatic repulsion between the anionic ARS and CCAs was weakened by high salty. Besides, CCAs showed excellent salt tolerance. The present study provides an excellent CCA adsorbent by successive modification of ball-milling and oxidation of CAs.

Abstract
Melamine foam is an important material in production and life. A series of porous carbon foams were obtained through a simple carbonization process of melamine foam at different temperatures. The carbon foams obtained at the carbonization temperature of 400 and 600 °C reveal a hydrophobic and even super-hydrophobic property (water contact angle larger than 150°) with a hexane adsorption much larger than that of melamine foam. However, the carbon foam obtained at the carbonization temperature of 800 °C reveals a super-hydrophilic property (water contact angle smaller than 5°) due to its severest shrinkage during the carbonization process. Interestingly, this series of carbon foams have an excellent performance in oil adsorption. However, the carbon membranes derived from the 800 °C carbon foam reveals oleophobicity under water (the adsorbed water at the surface was extremely important), which allows the penetration of water and blocks the infiltration of hexane at the same time. These different carbon forms have reversed applications in hexane/water separation.

Abstract
The development of miniaturized electrochemical platforms holds considerable importance for the in situ analytical monitoring of clinical, environmental, food, and forensic samples. However, it is crucial to pay attention to the sustainability of materials chosen to fabricate these devices, in order to decrease the amount and the impact of waste coming from their production and use. In the framework of a circular economy and an environmental footprint reduction, the electrochemical sensor production technology must discover the potentiality of innovative approaches based on techniques and materials that can satisfy the needs of environmental-friendly and greener analytics. The aim of this review is to describe some of the printing technologies most used for sensor production, including screen-printing, inkjet-printing, and 3D-printing, and the low-impact materials that are recently proposed for these techniques, such as polylactic acid, cellulose, silk proteins, biochar.

Abstract
Advanced ceramic sponge materials with temperature-invariant high compressibility are urgently needed as thermal insulators, energy absorbers, catalyst carriers, and high temperature air filters. However, the application of ceramic sponge materials is severely limited due to their complex preparation process. Here, we present a facile method for large-scale fabrication of highly compressible, temperature resistant SiO2-Al2O3 composite ceramic sponges by blow spinning and subsequent calcination. We successfully produce anisotropic lamellar ceramic sponges with numerous stacked microfiber layers and density as low as 10 mg cm-3. The anisotropic lamellar ceramic sponges exhibit high compression fatigue resistance, strain-independent zero Poisson's ratio, robust fire resistance, temperature-invariant compression resilience from -196 to 1000 °C, and excellent thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.034 W m-1 K-1. In addition, the lamellar structure also endows the ceramic sponges with excellent sound absorption properties, representing a promising alternative to existing thermal insulation and acoustic absorption materials.

Abstract
Constructing supramolecular materials with tunable properties and functions is a great challenge due to the complex competition between multiple assembly pathways. Herein, we report that dipeptides can self-assemble into aerogels with entirely different surface wettability through precisely controlling the assembly pathways. Charged groups or aromatic residues are selectively exposed on the surface of their nanoscale building blocks which results either in a superhydrophilic or highly hydrophobic surface. With this special property, single component dipeptide aerogels can play diverse roles in medical care applications. This study suggests great promise in the synthesis of supramolecular materials with different targeted functions from the same molecular unit.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis for nitrate reduction reaction (NRR) has recently been recognized as a promising technology to convert nitrate to nitrogen. Catalyst support plays an important role in electrocatalytic process. Although porous carbon and metal oxides are considered as common supports for metal-based catalysts, fabrication of such architecture with high electric conductivity, uniform dispersion of nanoparticles, and long-term catalytic stability through a simple and feasible approach still remains a significant challenge. Herein, inspired by the signal transfer mode of dendritic cell, an all-carbon dendritic cell-like (DCL) architecture comprising mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) connected by tethered carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with CuPd nanoparticles dispersed throughout (CuPd@DCL-MCS/CNTs) is reported. An impressive removal capacity as high as 22 500 mg N g-1 CuPd (≈12 times superior to Fe-based catalysts), high nitrate conversion (>95%) and nitrogen selectivity (>95%) are achieved under a low initial concentration of nitrate (100 mg L-1 ) when using an optimized-NRR electrocatalyst (4CuPd@DCL-MCS/CNTs). Remarkably, nitrate conversion and nitrogen selectivity are both close to 100% in an ultralow concentration of 10 mg L-1 , meeting drinking water standard. The present work not only provides high electrocatalytic performance for NRR but also introduces new inspiration for the preparation of other DCL-based architectures.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-based aerogels with extremely low density and hierarchical porous structure were constructed via a facile Pickering-emulsion-templated strategy. In this method, aminated CNCs (CNC-NH2) were synthesized to stabilize o/w Pickering high internal phase emulsions (Pickering HIPEs). Amino groups were introduced to CNCs to decrease the net surface charges of CNCs, enhance their aggregation, and therefore achieve Pickering HIPEs stabilized by the particles of ultralow content (∼0.1 wt %). A series of CNC aerogels was then obtained by freeze drying these emulsions. The resulting aerogels were ultralight with a density that reached ca. 0.5 mg/cm3 (an order of magnitude lower than that previously reported for CNC aerogels) and an ultrahigh porosity (up to 99.969%). Contributed to the extremely low density, the thermal conductivity of the aerogels was around 0.021 W/(m·K) which is lower than that of air (0.024 W/(m·K)). This novel strategy could be applied to other materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, to prepare ultralight aerogels with controllable porous structures and unique properties.

Abstract
Using the disulfide bond and carboxyl group in the molecular structure, α-lipoic acid was easily dissolved in the NaOH/urea solution and could be used as a ternary solvent for dissolving cellulose. Through this platform, N, S dual-doped hierarchical porous carbon aerogels (NSHPAs) were successfully obtained via directly dissolving cellulose in this ternary solvent, followed by gelling and carbonization. Because the fabricated carbon materials had a proper structure and a uniform heteroatom doping, their capacitance could reach 329 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, 1647.5 mF cm-2 at 2.5 mA cm-2, and the fine rate property was 215 F g-1 at 10 A g-1 and 1075 mF cm-2 at 50 mA cm-2, respectively. Additionally, the electric double-layer contribution and pseudocapacitance contribution from the N,S dual doping were also analyzed. Meanwhile, they showed outstanding capacitance retention in a 2 M H2SO4 electrolyte. Additionally, a symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) was assembled by NSHPAs, and yielded a high specific capacitance of 63.6 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. At a power density of 130 W kg-1, the SSC showed a high energy density of 10.3 W h kg-1 and a long cycle life with 10% capacitance decay over 5000 cycles at 1 A g-1. These electrochemical performances suggest that this adopted synthesis route may open a novel avenue for the fabrication of heteroatom-doped carbon electrode materials, especially based on renewable and low-cost cellulose.

Abstract
Developing high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with high absorption coefficient is highly desired for eliminating the secondary pollution of reflected electromagnetic wave (EMW). Nevertheless, it has long been a daunting challenge to achieve high shielding effectiveness (SE) and ultralow or no reflection SE simultaneously. Herein, highly porous and conductive carbon nanotube (CNT)-based carbon aerogel with a meticulously designed hierarchically porous structure from micro and sub-micro to nano levels is developed by specific two-stage pyrolysis and potassium hydroxide activation processes. The resultant activated cellulose-derived carbon aerogels (a-CCAs) exhibit an ultrahigh EMI SE of 96.4 dB in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz in conjunction with an exceptionally high absorption coefficient of 0.79 at a low density of 30.5 mg cm-3. The successful construction of hierarchically porous structure is responsible for the excellent "structurally absorbing" ability of a-CCAs, and the introduction of CNT-based heterogeneous conductive network can effectively dissipate the incident EMWs by interfacial polarization and microcurrent losses. Moreover, the as-prepared a-CCAs have a water contact angle of as high as 158.3°and a sliding angle of as low as 5.3°, revealing their superhydrophobic feature. The ingenious structure design proposed here provides a possible pathway to overcome the conflict between high EMI shielding performance and ultralow or no secondary reflection, and the as-prepared a-CCAs are exceedingly promising in the application of telecommunication, microelectronics, and spacecraft.

Abstract
In this article, we report the preparation of lignin-derived carbon nanosheet (L-CNS) by direct thermal treatment of lignin without activation operation and the functions of the L-CNS as an adsorbent for rhodamine dye. The L-CNSs are fabricated by freeze-drying (FD) methods of lignin followed by high-temperature carbonization. It is found that lower frozen temperature in FD or lower concentration of lignin aqueous solution renders L-CNSs' more porous morphology and higher specific surface area (SSA), allowing a promising application of the L-CNSs as an efficient adsorbent for organic pollutants. In particular, the alkaline hydroxide catalyst helps to increase the SSA of carbon products, leading to a further improved adsorption capacity. On the other hand, p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) catalyzed pyrolysis, which dramatically increased the L-CNS product yield, and provided a high-yield approach for the production of pollutant absorbent.

Abstract
Currently, there is tremendous interest in the discovery of new and improved photothermal agents for near-infrared (NIR)-driven cancer therapy. Herein, a series of novel photothermal agents, comprising copper nanoparticles supported on defective porous carbon polyhedra are successfully prepared by heating a Cu-BTC metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor at different temperatures (t) in the range 400-900 °C under an argon atmosphere. The copper nanoparticle size and carbon defect concentration in the obtained products (denoted herein as Cu@CPP-t) increase with synthesis temperature, thus imparting the Cu@CPP-t samples with distinct NIR absorption properties and photothermal heating responses. The Cu@CPP-800 sample shows a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 48.5% under 808 nm laser irradiation, representing one of the highest photothermal efficiencies yet reported for a carbon-based photothermal agent. In vivo experiments conducted with tumor bearing nude Balb/c mice confirm the efficacy of Cu@CPP-800 as a very promising NIR-driven phototherapy agent for cancer treatment. Results encourage the wider use of MOFs as low cost precursors for the synthesis of carbon-supported metal nanoparticle composites for photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Superelastic and fatigue-resistant materials that can work over a wide temperature range are highly desired for diverse applications. A morphology-retained and scalable carbonization method is reported to thermally convert a structural biological material (i.e., bacterial cellulose) into graphitic carbon nanofiber aerogel by engineering the pyrolysis chemistry. The prepared carbon aerogel perfectly inherits the hierarchical structures of bacterial cellulose from macroscopic to microscopic scales, resulting in remarkable thermomechanical properties. In particular, it maintains superelasticity without plastic deformation even after 2 × 106 compressive cycles and exhibits exceptional temperature-invariant superelasticity and fatigue resistance over a wide temperature range at least from -100 to 500 °C. This aerogel shows unique advantages over polymeric foams, metallic foams, and ceramic foams in terms of thermomechanical stability and fatigue resistance, with the realization of scalable synthesis and the economic advantage of biological materials.
