Carbohydr Polym 2024; 343:122458.

Abstract
Three commercial regenerated cellulose samples were subjected to TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation using solid NaOCl·5H2O as the primary oxidant for structural analyses of the oxidized products (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). The regenerated cellulose/water slurries became transparent solutions after oxidation for 60 min. The yields of the oxidized products were almost 100 % when they were isolated as precipitates in ethanol/water mixtures. The solution-state NMR spectra revealed that the oxidized products were almost pure water-soluble β-(1 → 4)-polyglucuronic acids; the reaction conditions described herein ensured the complete oxidation of the C6-OH groups in the regenerated cellulose samples to C6-carboxy groups. However, the solid-state 13C NMR spectra of the oxidized products indicated that C2/C3-ketones (<20 % of the total units) were formed during side reactions, which is characteristic for oxidized products prepared from regenerated cellulose with the C2/C3-glycol structure. These ketones were likely to form intermolecular hemiacetal linkages in the oxidized products. During conductivity titration of the oxidized products, it is necessary to control the sample masses to accurately determine the carboxy contents. The mass-average degree of polymerization decreased from 330 to 890 for the original regenerated cellulose samples to 65-79 for the oxidized products; substantial depolymerization is inevitable during TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation of the regenerated cellulose samples.

Abstract
The rise of polymer materials in modern life has drawn attention to renewable, easily biodegradable, environmentally-friendly bio-based polymers. Notably, significant research has been dedicated to creating green antimicrobial functional materials for the biomedical field using natural polymer materials. Cellulose is a rich natural biomass organic polymer material. Given its favorable attributes like film-forming capability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, it is extensively employed to tackle a wide range of challenges confronting humanity today. However, its inherent drawbacks, such as insolubility in water and most organic solvents, hygroscopic nature, difficulty in melting, and limited antimicrobial properties, continue to pose challenges for realizing the high-value applications of cellulose. Achieving multifunctionality and more efficient application of cellulose still poses major challenges. In this regard, the current development status of cellulose materials was reviewed, covering the classification, preparation methods, and application status of cellulose-based antimicrobial materials. The application value of cellulose-based antimicrobial materials in biomedicine, textiles, food packaging, cosmetics and wastewater treatment was summarised. Finally, insights were provided into the developing prospects of cellulose-based antimicrobial materials were provided.

Abstract
A sustainable homogeneous transcarbamoylation/transurethanization protocol for cellulose modification with methyl N-substituted carbamates was developed. The protocol utilizes the superbase ionic liquid [mTBNH][OAc], not only as a green reaction medium, but also as a promotor of the transformation. This approach allows to obtain different cellulose carbamates with controllable degrees of substitution. The solubility of the obtained materials from the newly developed method was compared with the solubility of materials obtained from the isocyanate approach, where some intrinsic trends were observed.

Abstract
Side reactions occurring on cellulose during 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TMEPO)-catalyzed oxidation have not been considered to be significant. Then, TEMPO-oxidized hardwood and softwood bleached kraft pulps (HBKP and SBKP) were prepared with an excess NaOCl·5H2O. Supernatant fractions (SFs) were obtained in the aqueous reaction mixtures of TEMPO-oxidized pulps by centrifugation and dialysis. The SFs with carboxyl contents of 5.0 and 4.2 mmol/g were obtained in the yields of 19 % and 30 % from HBKP and SBKP, respectively. These carboxy contents are much higher than those (2.6-2.7 mmol/g) of the precipitate fractions in the TEMPO-oxidized pulps. Solid-state 13C NMR spectra and other analyses revealed that the water-soluble β-(1 → 4)-polyglucuronic acids were predominantly present in the SFs. In addition, water-insoluble TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanocrystals were present in the SFs, but they constituted less than ~10 % of the SFs. The mass-average degrees of polymerization (DPw) of the SFs obtained from HBKP and SBKP were 166 and 155, respectively, whereas the original HBKP and SBKP had DPw values of 1990 and 2140, respectively. These substantial depolymerization and formation of the water-soluble β-(1 → 4)-polyglucuronic acids occur on cellulose and oxidized cellulose molecules as side reactions during TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation, which should be considered for structural analyses of TEMPO-oxidized products.

Abstract
Global population growth and industrialization have exacerbated the nonrenewable energy crises and environmental issues, thereby stimulating an enormous demand for producing environmentally friendly materials. Typically, biomass-based aerogels (BAs), which are mainly composed of biomass materials, show great application prospects in various fields because of their exceptional properties such as biocompatibility, degradability, and renewability. To improve the performance of BAs to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios, a large number of innovative works in the past few decades have emphasized the importance of micro-structural design in regulating macroscopic functions. Inspired by the ubiquitous random or regularly arranged structures of materials in nature ranging from micro to meso and macro scales, constructing different microstructures often corresponds to completely different functions even with similar biomolecular compositions. This review focuses on the preparation process, design concepts, regulation methods, and the synergistic combination of chemical compositions and microstructures of BAs with different porous structures from the perspective of gel skeleton and pore structure. It not only comprehensively introduces the effect of various microstructures on the physical properties of BAs, but also analyzes their potential applications in the corresponding fields of thermal management, water treatment, atmospheric water harvesting, CO2 absorption, energy storage and conversion, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, biological applications, etc. Finally, we provide our perspectives regarding the challenges and future opportunities of BAs. Overall, our goal is to provide researchers with a thorough understanding of the relationship between the microstructures and properties of BAs, supported by a comprehensive analysis of the available data.

Abstract
Fibrillated cellulose-based nanocomposites can improve energy efficiency of building envelopes, especially windows, but efficiently engineering them with a flexible ability of lighting and thermal management remains highly challenging. Herein, a scalable interfacial engineering strategy is developed to fabricate haze-tunable thermal barrier films tailored with phosphorylated cellulose nanofibrils (PCNFs). Clear films with an extremely low haze of 1.6% (glass-scale) are obtained by heat-assisted surface void packing without hydrophobization of nanocellulose. PCNF gel cakes serve here as templates for surface roughening, thereby resulting in a high haze (73.8%), and the roughened films can block heat transfer by increasing solar reflection in addition to a reduced thermal conduction. Additionally, obtained films can tune distribution of light from visible to near-infrared spectral range, enabling uniform colored lighting and inhibiting localized heating. Furthermore, an integrated simulation of lighting and cooling energy consumption in the case of office buildings shows that the film can reduce the total energy use by 19.2-38.1% under reduced lighting levels. Such a scalable and versatile engineering strategy provides an opportunity to endow nanocellulose-reinforced materials with tunable optical and thermal functionalities, moving their practical applications in green buildings forward.

Abstract
Hierarchical biobased micro/nanomaterials offer great potential as the next-generation building blocks for robust films or macroscopic fibers with high strength, while their capability in suppressing crack propagation when subject to damage is hindered by their limited length. Herein, we employed an approach to directly convert bulk wood into fibers with a high aspect ratio and nanosized branching structures. Particularly, the length of microfibers surpassed 1 mm with that of the nanosized branches reaching up to 300 μm. The presence of both interwoven micro- and nanofibers endowed the product with substantially improved tensile strength (393.99 MPa) and toughness (19.07 MJ m-3). The unique mechanical properties arose from mutual filling and the hierarchical deformation facilitated by branched nanofibers, which collectively contributed to effective energy dissipation. Hence, the nanotransformation strategy opens the door toward a facial, scalable method for building high-strength film or macroscopic fibers available in various advanced applications.

Abstract
Biological nanofibrils not only are characteristic of many species of biomasses but also serve as a promising type of sustainable nanomaterials for various applications. However, their production has long relied on an invasive and energy-consuming mechanical shear. A noninvasive and versatile approach remains challenging to exfoliate different types of biomasses into nanofibrils. In this study, we showed a versatile and nonaggressive intercalative deprotonation agent of organic base, which could efficiently deprotonate various biomasses for energy-saving exfoliation and functionalization, including cellulose, chitin, and silk. Both carboxylic nanofibrils and nanofibrils with pristine chemical structures could be produced in high yields through manual shaking or sonication. By further grafting photoresponsive groups via transesterification, intelligent NFs were generated featuring ultraviolet-responsive fluorescence and hydrophilicity. These responsive fluorescence and actuation behaviors promised their potential as green encryption and anticounterfeiting nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are supramolecular assemblies of cellulose chains that provide outstanding mechanical support and structural functions for cellulosic organisms. However, traditional chemical pretreatments and mechanical defibrillation of natural cellulose produce irreversible surface functionalization and adverse effects of morphology of the CNFs, respectively, which limit the utilization of CNFs in nanoassembly and surface functionalization. Herein, this work presents a facile and energetically efficient surface engineering strategy to completely exfoliate cellulose elementary fibrils from various bioresources, which provides CNFs with ultrahigh aspect ratios (≈1400) and reversible surface. During the mild process of swelling and esterification, the crystallinity and the morphology of the elementary fibrils are retained, resulting in high yields (98%) with low energy consumption (12.4 kJ g-1). In particular, on the CNF surface, the surface hydroxyl groups are restored by removal of the carboxyl moieties via saponification, which offers a significant opportunity for reconstitution of stronger hydrogen bonding interfaces. Therefore, the resultant CNFs can be used as sustainable building blocks for construction of multidimensional advanced cellulosic materials, e.g., 1D filaments, 2D films, and 3D aerogels. The proposed surface engineering strategy provides a new platform for fully utilizing the characteristics of the cellulose elementary fibrils in the development of high-performance cellulosic materials.

Abstract
Cellulose is a biopolymer with numerous advantages that make it an ecological, economical, and high-performing choice for various applications. To fully exploit the potential of cellulose, it is often necessary to dissolve it, which poses a current challenge. The aqueous zinc oxide/sodium hydroxide (ZnO/NaOH/Water) system is a preferred solvent for its rapid dissolution, non-toxicity, low cost, and environmentally friendly nature. In this context, the behavior of cellulose chains in the aqueous solution of ZnO/NaOH and the impact of temperature on the solubility of this polymer were examined through a molecular dynamics simulation. The analysis of the root means square deviation (RMSD), interaction energy, hydrogen bond curves, and radial distribution function revealed that cellulose is insoluble in the ZnO/NaOH solvent at room temperature (T = 298 K). Decreasing the temperature in the range of 273 K to 268 K led to a geometric deformation of cellulose chains, accompanied by a decrease in the number of interchain hydrogen bonds over the simulation time, thus confirming the solubility of cellulose in this system between T = 273 K and T = 268 K.

Abstract
2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-catalytic oxidation was applied to a water-insoluble α-(1 → 3)-glucan in water at pH 10 and room temperature (∼24 °C), with solid NaOCl·5H2O as the primary oxidant. Oxidation with NaOCl at 15 mmol/g gave a water-soluble TEMPO-oxidized product at a mass recovery ratio of 97 %. The carboxy content of the TEMPO-oxidized product was 5.3 mmol/g, which corresponds to a degree of C6-oxidation (DO) of 93 %. A new water-soluble α-(1 → 3)-polyglucuronic acid with a nearly homogeneous chemical structure was therefore quantitatively obtained. X-ray diffraction and solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopic analyses showed that the original α-(1 → 3)-glucan and its TEMPO-oxidized product with a carboxy content of 5.3 mmol/g had crystalline structures, whereas the oxidized products with DOs of 50 % and 66 % had almost disordered structures. The carboxy groups in the oxidized products were regioselectively methyl esterified with trimethylsilyl diazomethane, and analyzed by using size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle laser-light scattering and refractive index detections. The results show that the original α-(1 → 3)-glucan and its oxidized products with DOs of 50 %, 66 %, and 93 % had weight-average degrees of polymerization of 671, 288, 54, and 45, respectively. Substantial depolymerization of the α-(1 → 3)-glucan molecules therefore occurred during catalytic oxidation, irrespective of the oxidation pH.

Abstract
Aqueous photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells have long been considered a promising technology to convert solar energy into hydrogen. However, the solar-to-H2 (STH) efficiency and cost-effectiveness of PEC water splitting are significantly limited by sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics and the low economic value of the produced O2 , hindering the practical commercialization of PEC cells. Recently, organic upgrading PEC reactions, especially for alternative OERs, have received tremendous attention, which improves not only the STH efficiency but also the economic effectiveness of the overall reaction. In this review, PEC reaction fundamentals and reactant-product cost analysis of organic upgrading reactions are briefly reviewed, recent advances made in organic upgrading reactions, which are categorized by their reactant substrates, such as methanol, ethanol, glycol, glycerol, and complex hydrocarbons, are then summarized and discussed. Finally, the current status, further outlooks, and challenges toward industrial applications are discussed.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight chitosan (LMW chitosan, <10 kDa) have a significant potential for biomedical applications (e.g., antimicrobial and gene/drug delivery) because of their higher water solubility at pH values ranging from 3.0 to 8.5, compared to that of the high-molecular-weight (>100 kDa) chitosan. A comprehensive understanding of the LMW interaction mechanism with specific functional groups is necessary to predict their binding efficiency to other molecules for effectively utilizing their potential within biological systems. In this study, we used a surface forces apparatus (SFA) to investigate molecular interactions between LMW chitosan and four different functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in aqueous solutions at pH values of 3.0, 6.5, and 8.5. Chitosan exhibited the strongest interaction energy with methyl-terminated SAM (CH3-SAM), indicating the significance of hydrophobic interaction. Many chitin/chitosan fibers in nature bind polyphenols (e.g., eumelanin) to form robust composites, which can be attributed to the strong attraction between chitosan and phenyl-SAM, presumably caused by cation-π interactions. These findings demonstrate the potential of modulating the magnitude of the interaction energy by controlling the solution pH and types of targeted functional groups to realize the optimal design of chitosan-based hybrid composites with other biomolecules or synthetic materials.

Abstract
Nanocellulose has been widely used as a reinforcing agent for hydrogel systems, but its functions on thermal responsive hydrogels are rarely investigated. In this study, we extracted cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) from coconut biomass (coir fibers and piths, respectively) and aimed to study their effects on the material properties on a new class of thermogel (poly(PCL/PEG/PPG urethane). The CNFs extracted from fiber (FF) and piths (FP) showed different morphology and fiber lengths. FF are uniformed individual fibrous networks with a fiber length of 664 ± 416 nm, while FP display a hybrid structure consisting of individual fiber and large bundles with a relative shorter fiber length of 443 ± 184 nm. Integrating both CNFs into thermogels remained the thermal-responsive characteristics with an enhanced rheological property. The results showed that gels with FF resulted in a higher storage modulus and lower Tan δ value compared to those with FP, indicating that the CNFs with a longer length could form a more intertwined network interacting with the thermogel matrix. Furthermore, we demonstrated the improved capabilities of the nanocomposite thermogels for sustained drug delivery in vitro. This study not only value-adds lignocellulose valorization but also elevates the versatility of thermogels.

Abstract
Developing biocompatible and antibacterial materials with biodegradable polymers is an ideal strategy to improve public health problems and plastic pollution simultaneously. In the present study, novel biocompatible and antibacterial poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA, coded as P)/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCNF, coded as T)‑silver nanoparticle (AgNP, coded as A) films were first developed. The core/shell PT Pickering emulsion was prepared by sonication treatment. The TOCNF shells with -COO-Na+ groups (∼1.5 mmol/g cellulose) were used as the support to in situ synthesize and immobilize AgNPs on the PT emulsion droplets. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 mmol/g cellulose) was added to the PT emulsions. Then, ion-exchange reaction and hydrothermal reduction were conducted to form PTA (PTA1-PTA4) emulsions. After centrifugation to remove the excess Ag+, filtration, oven-drying, and hot-pressing, the PTA composite films were successfully prepared. The PTA3 film contained AgNPs 12.4 ± 2.8 nm in diameter and exhibited the highest antibacterial activities against the E. coli (85.2%) and S. aureus (80.1%) at 37 °C, where the initial bacterial suspension concentrations were approximately 2 × 108 CFU mL-1. Therefore, the biocompatible and antibacterial PTA3 film is a promising candidate for biomedical applications, in particular as an antibacterial bioactive packaging material.

Abstract
Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer in nature, is derived from various sources. The production of pharmaceutical textiles based on cellulose represents a growing sector. In medicated textiles, textile and pharmaceutical sciences are integrated to develop new healthcare approaches aiming to improve patient compliance. Through the possibility of cellulose functionalization, pharmaceutical textiles can broaden the applications of cellulose in the biomedical field. This narrative review aims to illustrate both the methods of extraction and preparation of cellulose fibers, with a particular focus on nanocellulose, and diverse pharmaceutical applications like tissue restoration and antimicrobial, antiviral, and wound healing applications. Additionally, the merging between fabricated cellulosic textiles with drugs, metal nanoparticles, and plant-derived and synthetic materials are also illustrated. Moreover, new emerging technologies and the use of smart medicated textiles (3D and 4D cellulosic textiles) are not far from those within the review scope. In each section, the review outlines some of the limitations in the use of cellulose textiles, indicating scientific research that provides significant contributions to overcome them. This review also points out the faced challenges and possible solutions in a trial to present an overview on all issues related to the use of cellulose for the production of pharmaceutical textiles.

Abstract
Combining the excellent biocompatibility and mechanical flexibility of cellulose with the outstanding electrical, mechanical, optical and stability properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), cellulose-CNT composites have been extensively studied and applied to many flexible functional materials. In this review, we present advances in structural design strategies and various applications of cellulose-CNT composites. Firstly, the structural characteristics and corresponding treatments of cellulose and CNTs are analyzed, as are the potential interactions between the two to facilitate the formation of cellulose-CNT composites. Then, the design strategies and processing techniques of cellulose-CNT composites are discussed from the perspectives of cellulose fibers at the macroscopic scale (natural cotton, hemp, and other fibers; recycled cellulose fibers); nanocellulose at the micron scale (nanofibers, nanocrystals, etc.); and macromolecular chains at the molecular scale (cellulose solutions). Further, the applications of cellulose-CNT composites in various fields, such as flexible energy harvesting and storage devices, strain and humidity sensors, electrothermal devices, magnetic shielding, and photothermal conversion, are introduced. This review will help readers understand the design strategies of cellulose-CNT composites and develop potential high-performance applications.

Abstract
Modern biocatalysis requires fast, sensitive, and efficient high-throughput screening methods to screen enzyme libraries in order to seek out novel biocatalysts or enhanced variants for the production of chemicals. For instance, the synthesis of bio-based furan compounds like 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via aerobic oxidation is a crucial process in industrial chemistry. Laccases, known for their mild operating conditions, independence from cofactors, and versatility with various substrates, thanks to the use of chemical mediators, are appealing candidates for catalyzing HMF oxidation. Herein, Schiff-based polymers based on the coupling of DFF and 1,4-phenylenediamine (PPD) have been used in the set-up of a novel colorimetric assay for detecting the presence of DFF in different reaction mixtures. This method may be employed for the fast screening of enzymes (Z' values ranging from 0.68 to 0.72). The sensitivity of the method has been proved, and detection (8.4 μM) and quantification (25.5 μM) limits have been calculated. Notably, the assay displayed selectivity for DFF and enabled the measurement of kinetics in DFF production from HMF using three distinct laccase-mediator systems.

The potential of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy)-mediated oxidation (TMO) to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) is hindered using costly and environmentally harmful catalysts, limiting its large-scale implementation. To promote sustainability, the TMO medium should be reused but there is a lack of knowledge on this process. The novelty of this research is the identification of the key parameters that affect the recirculation of the TMO medium, and their impact on the quality of the oxidized pulps and CNF products. Contrary to previous hypothesis, results show that the accumulation of salts is not a key parameter; instead, the pulp consistency during oxidation plays a vital role since concentrations higher than 10 g/L led to better CNF quality. Thus, reusing 75 % of the reaction medium, when high pulp consistency is used, does not alter the CNF properties. By reusing the reaction medium up to six times, the catalyst dose is dramatically reduced by >90 % for TEMPO and 80 % for NaBr, compared to the conventional process (0.1 mmol of TEMPO/g and 1 mmol of NaBr/g without medium reuse). Additionally, the high consistency oxidation enables a reduction of >80 % in the reaction time and effluent, and thus a threefold increase in CNF production.

Abstract
We review the recent progress that have led to the development of porous materials based on cellulose nanostructures found in plants and other resources. In light of the properties that emerge from the chemistry, shape and structural control, we discuss some of the most promising uses of a plant-based material, nanocellulose, in regenerative medicine. Following a brief discussion about the fundamental aspects of self-assembly of nanocellulose precursors, we review the key strategies needed for material synthesis and to adjust the architecture of the materials (using three-dimensional printing, freeze-casted porous materials, and electrospinning) according to their uses in tissue engineering, artificial organs, controlled drug delivery and wound healing systems, among others. For this purpose, we map the structure-property-function relationships of nanocellulose-based porous materials and examine the course of actions that are required to translate innovation from the laboratory to industry. Such efforts require attention to regulatory aspects and market pull. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities in this nascent field are critically reviewed.

Abstract
Nanocellulose aerogel has the advantages of porosity, low density and high specific surface area, which can effectively realize the adsorption and treatment of wastewater waste gas. The methods of preparing nanocellulose mainly include mechanical, chemical and biological methods. Nanocellulose is formed into nanocellulose aerogel after gelation, solvent replacement and drying processes. Based on the advantages of easy modification of nanocellulose aerogels, nanocellulose aerogels can be functionalized with conductive fillers, reinforcing fillers and other materials to give nanocellulose aerogels in electrical, mechanical and other properties. Through functionalization, the properties of nanocellulose composite aerogel such as hydrophobicity and adsorption are improved, and the aerogel is endowed with the ability of electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding. Through functionalization, the applicability and general applicability of nanocellulose composite aerogel in the field of environmental protection are improved. In this paper, the preparation and functional modification methods of nanocellulose aerogels are reviewed, and the application prospects of nanocellulose composite aerogels in common environmental protection fields such as dye adsorption, heavy metal ion adsorption, gas adsorption, electromagnetic shielding, and oil-water separation are specifically reviewed, and new solutions are proposed.

Abstract
The reaction mechanism of ClO2-mediated TEMPO oxidation was investigated by EPR spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy in the context of an alternative TEMPO sequence for cellulose fiber oxidation. Without the presence of a cellulosic substrate, a reversibility between TEMPO and its oxidation product, TEMPO+, was displayed, with an effect of the pH and reagent molar ratios. The involvement of HOCl and Cl-, formed as byproducts in the oxidation mechanism, was also evidenced. Trapping HOCl partly inhibits the reaction, whereas adding methylglucoside, a cellulose model compound, inhibits the reversibility of the reaction to TEMPO.

Abstract
Chloroform (CF) is a recalcitrant halogenated methane (HM) that has received widespread attention due to its frequent detection in groundwater and its potential carcinogenic risk. In this study, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber-supported iron/copper bimetallic nanoparticles (TOCNF-Fe/Cu), a novel composite catalyst, was synthesized to activate sodium percarbonate (SPC) for the removal of CF from groundwater. The results showed that over 96.3% of CF could be removed in a neutral reaction medium (pH 6.5-9) within 180 min using 0.66 g L-1 of TOCNF (0.32)-Fe/Cu (1) and 1 mM of SPC, which outperforms typical advanced oxidation processes. The reaction mechanism of the TOCNF-Fe/Cu-SPC system for the CF removal was elucidated. As demonstrated through electron paramagnetic resonance and quenching experiments, the TOCNF-Fe/Cu-SPC system was found to include •OH and O2•-, where the latter played a dominant role in the CF removal. DFT calculations indicated that TOCNF improved the electron transport capability of Fe/Cu and reduced the transition state energy. The Fe species on the surface of TOCNF-Fe/Cu were identified as the primary active sites for SPC activation, whereas the Cu species were beneficial to the regeneration of the Fe species. Additionally, TOCNF-Fe/Cu was found to have good recyclability and stability. The feasibility of the TOCNF-Fe/Cu-SPC system was further confirmed by applying it for the efficient removal of composite HMs from actually contaminated groundwater. Overall, the TOCNF-Fe/Cu-SPC system is an attractive candidate for the treatment of HM-contaminated groundwater.

Abstract
In this paper, a benzyltriethylammonium/urea DES was investigated as a new green and eco-friendly medium for the progress of organic chemical reactions, particularly the dissolution and the functionalization of cellulose. In this regard, the viscosity-average molecular weight of cellulose (M̄w) during the dissolution/regeneration process was investigated, showing no significant degradation of the polymer chains. Moreover, X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the cellulose dissolution process in the BTEAB/urea DES decreased the crystallinity index from 87% to 75%, and there was no effect on type I cellulose polymorphism. However, a drastic impact of the cosolvents (water and DMSO) on the melting point of the DES was observed. Besides, to understand the evolution of cellulose-DES interactions, the formation mechanism of the system was studied in terms of H-bond density and radial distribution function (RDF) using molecular dynamics modeling. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) was used to evaluate the topological characteristics of the polymeric system such as potential energy density (PED), laplacian electron density (LED), energy density, and kinetic energy density (KED) at bond critical points (BCPs) between the cellulose and the DES. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (AIM), Bader's quantum theory (BQT), and reduced density gradient (RDG) scatter plots have been exploited to estimate and locate non-covalent interactions (NCIs). The results revealed that the dissolution process is attributed to the physical interactions, mainly the strong H-bond interactions.

Abstract
To commercialize a biomedical product as a medical device, reproducibility of production and time-stability are important parameters. Studies of reproducibility are lacking in the literature. Additionally, chemical pre-treatments of wood fibres to produce highly fibrillated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) seem to be demanding in terms of production efficiency, being a bottleneck for industrial upscaling. In this study, we evaluated the effect of pH on the dewatering time and washing steps of 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-mediated oxidized wood fibres when applying 3.8 mmol NaClO/g cellulose. The results indicate that the method does not affect the carboxylation of the nanocelluloses, and levels of approximately 1390 μmol/g were obtained with good reproducibility. The washing time of a Low-pH sample was reduced to 1/5 of the time required for washing a Control sample. Additionally, the stability of the CNF samples was assessed over 10 months and changes were quantified, the most pronounced were the increase of potential residual fibre aggregates, reduction of viscosity and increase of carboxylic acid content. The cytotoxicity and skin irritation potential were not affected by the detected differences between the Control and Low-pH samples. Importantly, the antibacterial effect of the carboxylated CNFs against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa was confirmed.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs) are appealing nanomaterials that have experienced rapid development in recent years, with great potential in the biomedical field. This trend aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable materials, which will contribute both to an improvement in wellbeing and an extension of human life, and with the demand to keep up with advances in medical technology. In recent years, due to the diversity of their physical and biological properties and the possibility of tuning them according to the desired goal, these nanomaterials represent a point of maximum interest in the medical field. Applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound dressing, medical implants or those in cardiovascular health are some of the applications in which NCs have been successfully used. This review presents insight into the latest medical applications of NCs, in the forms of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), with an emphasis on the domains that have recently experienced remarkable growth, namely wound dressing, tissue engineering and drug delivery. In order to highlight only the most recent achievements, the presented information is focused on studies from the last 3 years. Approaches to the preparation of NCs are discussed either by top-down (chemical or mechanical degradation) or by bottom-up (biosynthesis) techniques, along with their morphological characterization and unique properties, such as mechanical and biological properties. Finally, the main challenges, limitations and future research directions of NCs are identified in a sustained effort to identify their effective use in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Owing to its high sustainable production capacity, cellulose represents a valuable feedstock for the development of more sustainable alternatives to currently used fossil fuel-based materials. Chemical analysis of cellulose remains challenging, and analytical techniques have not advanced as fast as the development of the proposed materials science applications. Crystalline cellulosic materials are insoluble in most solvents, which restricts direct analytical techniques to lower-resolution solid-state spectroscopy, destructive indirect procedures or to 'old-school' derivatization protocols. While investigating their use for biomass valorization, tetralkylphosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) exhibited advantageous properties for direct solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of crystalline cellulose. After screening and optimization, the IL tetra-n-butylphosphonium acetate [P4444][OAc], diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide-d6, was found to be the most promising partly deuterated solvent system for high-resolution solution-state NMR. The solvent system has been used for the measurement of both 1D and 2D experiments for a wide substrate scope, with excellent spectral quality and signal-to-noise, all with modest collection times. The procedure initially describes the scalable syntheses of an IL, in 24-72 h, of sufficient purity, yielding a stock electrolyte solution. The dissolution of cellulosic materials and preparation of NMR samples is presented, with pretreatment, concentration and dissolution time recommendations for different sample types. Also included is a set of recommended 1D and 2D NMR experiments with parameters optimized for an in-depth structural characterization of cellulosic materials. The time required for full characterization varies between a few hours and several days.

Abstract
The complex or compromised bone defects caused by osteomyelitis, malignant tumors, metastatic tumors, skeletal abnormalities, and systemic diseases are difficult to be self-repaired, leading to a non-union fracture. With the increasing demands of bone transplantation, more and more attention has been paid to artificial bone substitutes. As biopolymer-based aerogel materials, nanocellulose aerogels have been widely utilized in bone tissue engineering. More importantly, nanocellulose aerogels not only mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix but could also deliver drugs and bioactive molecules to promote tissue healing and growth. Here, we reviewed the most recent literature about nanocellulose-based aerogels, summarized the preparation, modification, composite fabrication, and applications of nanocellulose-based aerogels in bone tissue engineering, as well as giving special focus to the current limitations and future opportunities of nanocellulose aerogels for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
ConspectusGiven this special issue's efforts to highlight the research emanating from HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and the trials and tribulations associated with their research, the authors have presented work associated with the characterization and application of cellulosic materials as renewable products. Despite challenges, the research completed in this laboratory at Tuskegee, a HBCU, hinges upon the many investigations of cellulose as a carbon-neutral, biorenewable material that can potentially replace environmentally unfriendly and hazardous petroleum-based polymers. Although cellulose is one of the most promising candidates, overcoming the challenge of its incompatibility (i.e., lack of good dispersion, interfacial adhesion, etc.) with most hydrophobic polymers due to its hydrophilic nature is critical to usage in plastic products across industries. Chemical isolations via acid hydrolysis and surface functionalities have emerged as new approaches to modulate the surface chemistry of cellulose to improve its compatibility and physical performance within the polymer composites. Recently, we have explored the influence of (1) acid hydrolysis and (2) chemical modifications via surface oxidation to ketones and aldehydes on the resulting macrostructural arrangements and thermal performance and (3) the application of crystalline cellulose as reinforcement agents in ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) composites.XRD structural characterizations of crystalline cellulose isolated from wheat straw under dissimilar acid hydrolysis conditions showed induced alterations in the native cellulose polymorph (CI). Mixing of the native polymorph (CI) with CIII was observed and found to be more prominent under sulfuric acid isolation conditions which is one of the more commonly used methods of chemical isolation. Thermal evaluations using TGA confirmed that the introduction of the mixed polymorphs changed the thermal behavior of the isolated crystalline cellulose. Further, FTIR analysis and Tollens testing of chemically oxidized crystalline cellulose via the Albright-Goldman reaction revealed the transformation of surface OH groups to ketones and aldehydes, respectively. We observed similar macrostructural disruption behavior to that of acid hydrolysis processing (i.e., mixing of polymorphs) for oxidation of crystalline cellulose, which had no negative impacts on the thermal stability of the cellulosic structure. The application of acid-hydrolyzed pristine cellulose (PC) as reinforcement agents in ABS composites showed increased thermal-mechanical performance as revealed by TGA and thermal mechanical analysis (TMA). As the ratio of crystalline cellulose increased, the thermal stability of the ABS composite increased, and at extremely high ratios, increased dimensional stability (i.e., low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value) was observed, expanding the application of ABS plastic products.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses are anisotropic nanoparticles of semicrystalline assemblies of glucan polymers. They have great potential as renewable building blocks in the materials platform of a more sustainable society. As a result, the research on nanocellulose has grown exponentially over the last decades. To fully utilize the properties of nanocelluloses, a fundamental understanding of their colloidal behavior is necessary. As elongated particles with dimensions in a critical nanosize range, their colloidal properties are complex, with several behaviors not covered by classical theories. In this comprehensive Review, we describe the most prominent colloidal behaviors of nanocellulose by combining experimental data and theoretical descriptions. We discuss the preparation and characterization of nanocellulose dispersions, how they form networks at low concentrations, how classical theories cannot describe their behavior, and how they interact with other colloids. We then show examples of how scientists can use this fundamental knowledge to control the assembly of nanocellulose into new materials with exceptional properties. We hope aspiring and established researchers will use this Review as a guide.

Abstract
Bio-based aerogel has become an attractive sorbent for spilled oil and organic pollutants because of its light weight, high porosity and strong sorption capacity. However, the current fabrication process is mainly "bottom-up" technology, which is cost-expensive, time-consuming, and energy-intensive. Herein, we report a top-down, green, efficient and selective sorbent prepared from corn stalk pith (CSP) using the deep eutectic solvent (DES) treatment, followed by TEMPO/NaClO/NaClO2 oxidization and microfibrillation, and then hexamethyldisilazane coating. Such chemical treatments selectively removed lignin and hemicellulose, broke the thin cell walls of natural CSP, forming an aligned porous structure with capillary channels. The resultant aerogels had a density of 29.3 mg/g, a porosity of 98.13%, and a water contact angle of 130.5◦, exhibiting excellent oil/organic solvents sorption performance, with a high sorption capacity in the range of 25.4-36.5 g/g, approximately 5-16-fold higher than CSP, and with fast absorption speed and good reusability.

Abstract
Oil pollution has caused more and more serious damages to the environment, especially to water. Oil and water separation technologies based on high-performance absorbing materials have attracted extensive attentions. Herein, elasticity-enhanced bacterial cellulose (BC) aerogel is synthesized for oil/water separation through thermochemical vapor deposition (CVD) catalyzed by 1, 2, 3, 4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA). BTCA has two functions, namely, esterification with BC and catalyzing CVD. The prepared aerogel could be recovered soon after being compressed and the elastic recovery was >90 % at set maximum deformation of 80 %. And, it also exhibits vigorous fatigue resistance with an elastic deformation of >80 % after 50 cycles. The high elastic and hydrophobic aerogel is very suitable for absorbing and desorbing oils by simple mechanical squeezing. The adsorption capacity for n-hexane and dichloroethane maintain 87 % and 81 % after 50 cycles, respectively, which implies robust reusability. Importantly, the CVD could also be catalyzed by other solid acids such as citric acid and vitamin C. This design and fabrication method offers a novel avenue for the preparation of hydrophobic bacterial cellulose aerogel with high elasticity.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 236:123983.

Abstract
This work demonstrated a successful strategy that simple ionic liquids (ILs) mediated pretreatment could effectively reduce crystallinity of cellulose from 71 % to 46 % (by C2MIM.Cl) and 53 % (by C4MIM.Cl). The IL-mediated regeneration of cellulose greatly promoted its reactivity for TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation, which the resulting COO- density (mmol/g) increased from 2.00 for non-IL-treated cellulose to 3.23 (by C2MIM.Cl) and 3.42 (C4MIM.Cl); and degree of oxidation enhanced from 35 % to 59 % and 62 %, respectively. More significantly, the yield of oxidized cellulose increased from 4 % to 45-46 %, by 11-fold. IL-regenerated cellulose can also be directly subjected to alkyl/alkenyl succinylation without TEMPO-mediated oxidation, producing nanoparticles with properties similar to oxidized celluloses (55-74 nm in size, -70-79 mV zeta-potential and 0.23-0.26 PDI); but in a much higher overall yield (87-95 %) than IL-regeneration-coupling-TEMPO-oxidation (34-45 %). Alkyl/alkenyl succinylated TEMPO-oxidized cellulose showed 2-2.5 times higher ABTS* scavenging ability than non-oxidized cellulose; however, alkyl/alkenyl succinylation also resulted in a significant decline in Fe2+ chelating property.

Abstract
Modern technology has enabled the isolation of nanocellulose from plant-based fibers, and the current trend focuses on utilizing nanocellulose in a broad range of sustainable materials applications. Water is generally seen as a detrimental component when in contact with nanocellulose-based materials, just like it is harmful for traditional cellulosic materials such as paper or cardboard. However, water is an integral component in plants, and many applications of nanocellulose already accept the presence of water or make use of it. This review gives a comprehensive account of nanocellulose-water interactions and their repercussions in all key areas of contemporary research: fundamental physical chemistry, chemical modification of nanocellulose, materials applications, and analytical methods to map the water interactions and the effect of water on a nanocellulose matrix.

Abstract
The adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics of fluoride ions (F-) on FeOOH powders in water were investigated to obtain fundamental information on FeOOH powders, which are used as F- adsorbents in drinking and industrial water, and industrial wastewater. FeOOH powders were prepared as precipitates by mixing aqueous FeCl3 and NaOH solutions (1:3 mol/mol) in the presence of 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or TEMPO-oxidized cellulose (TOC) fibers (without nanofibrillation), and subsequent drying and pulverizing. The FeOOH:TOCN, FeOOH:CMC, and FeOOH:TOC dry mass ratios were controlled at 87:13. The amount of F- adsorbed by the FeOOH/TOCN powder per FeOOH mass was higher than those adsorbed by FeOOH, FeOOH/CMC, or FeOOH/TOC. The F- adsorption isotherms on the FeOOH-containing powders showed higher correlation coefficients with the Langmuir model than with the Freundlich model. This indicates that F- adsorbed on FeOOH initially formed a monolayer, predominantly via physical adsorption. Pseudo-second-order kinetics fitted well to the time-dependent F- adsorption behaviors on the FeOOH-containing powders. Thermodynamic analysis of F- adsorption on the FeOOH-containing powders showed that the ΔG values were negative, which indicates that F- adsorption on the FeOOH-containing powders proceeded spontaneously in water. The negative ΔG value for FeOOH/TOCN was higher than those for FeOOH, FeOOH/CMC, and FeOOH/TOC at the same temperature. This shows that the FeOOH/TOCN powder can be used as an excellent and efficient F- adsorbent in water.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most prominent type of adult stem cells for clinical applications. Three-dimensional (3D) cultivation of MSCs in biomimetic hydrogels provides a more physiologically relevant cultivation microenvironment for in vitro testing and modeling, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional planar cultivation methods. Cellulose nanofibers are an excellent candidate biomaterial for synthesis of hydrogels for this application, due to their biocompatibility, tunable properties, availability, and low cost. Herein, we demonstrate the capacity of hydrogels prepared from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl -oxidized and subsequently individualized cellulose-nanofibrils to support physiologically relevant 3D in vitro cultivation of human MSCs at low solid contents (0.2-0.5 wt %). Our results show that MSCs can spread, proliferate, and migrate inside the cellulose hydrogels, while the metabolic activity and proliferative capacity of the cells as well as their morphological characteristics benefit more in the lower bulk cellulose concentration hydrogels.

Here, interaction forces of surface modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), lignin residual cellulose nanocrystals (LCNCs), and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibres (TCNFs) with OSO3-, COO- and lignin chemical groups were measured using in situ peak force quantitative nanomechanical mapping and force spectroscopy in salt solution at two pH values. We found that the forces acting between the tip and CNC or LCNC are steric dominated showing long range and slow decay as a result of their low surface charge density. High Mw lignin contributed to the increased repulsion range for LCNCs compared to CNCs. The repulsion measured for TCNFs at the very short range was electrostatic force dominating showing a steep decay attributed to its high surface charge density. In the case of TCNFs, electrostatic double layer force was also evidenced by the attraction measured at secondary minima. In all the three cases the electro steric interactions are pH dependent. Dissipation maps verified that the force behavior for each material was related to structural conformation restriction of the groups at compression. The slow decayed repulsion of CNCs or LCNCs is related to a weak restriction of conformational change due to small surface groups or high molecular weight bound polymers forming flat layers, whereas the steep repulsion of TCNFs is attributed to a strong conformation restriction of carboxylic groups occurred by forming extended structure. Our results suggest that the force responses of the materials were dominated by surface charges and structural differences. TCNFs showed superior nanomechanical and repulsion properties over CNCs or LCNCs at neutral pH.

Abstract
Establishing the rapid and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is a key component to the improvement of clinical outcomes. The ability of analytical platforms to rapidly detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) in blood could provide a powerful host-independent biomarker of sepsis. A novel concept was investigated based on the idea that a pre-bound and fluorescent ligand could be released from lectins in contact with high-affinity ligands (such as PAMPs). To create fluorescent ligands with precise avidity, the kinetically followed TEMPO oxidation of yeast mannan and carbodiimide coupling were used. The chemical modifications led to decreases in avidity between mannan and human collectins, such as the mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and human surfactant protein D (SP-D), but not in porcine SP-D. Despite this effect, these fluorescent derivatives were captured by human lectins using highly concentrated solutions. The resulting fluorescent beads were exposed to different solutions, and the results showed that displacements occur in contact with higher affinity ligands, proving that two-stage competition processes can occur in collectin carbohydrate recognition mechanisms. Moreover, the fluorescence loss depends on the discrepancy between the respective avidities of the recognized ligand and the fluorescent mannan. Chemically modulated fluorescent ligands associated with a diversity of collectins may lead to the creation of diagnostic tools suitable for multiplex array assays and the identification of high-avidity ligands.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have garnered considerable attention as an emerging energy harvesting technology. To improve the electrical properties of the triboelectric materials in TENGs, various micro- and nanomaterials with strong charge-trapping capabilities are introduced as filler materials. However, the fillers generally perform a single function and lack long-term operational durability. Hence, further research is required to achieve stable and efficient TENGs. In this study, NH2 metal-organic frameworks (NH2-MOFs) were combined with a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) to prepare a composite film. NH2-MOFs have an aminated bimetallic organic backbone with strong charge-induction and charge-trapping capabilities. Thus, their addition significantly improved the stability, positive triboelectric properties and charge-trapping performance of the composite film. The optimized composite film and a fluorinated ethylene propylene film were used as triboelectric pairs to assemble a TENG. The electrical performance of the TENG was approximately 230% greater than that of a TENG with a pure CNF film and remained very stable for at least 90 days. These results demonstrate that NH2-MOFs are promising fillers for improving the performance of TENGs and expanding the range of materials used in TENG construction.

Abstract
Energy consumption and post-treatment of chemical reagent residues are important issues that hinder the sustainable production of the natural building blocks of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). In this study, we realize a low-energy, zero-waste process for CNF production by designing a novel reactive deep eutectic solvent (DES), the residue of which can be directly used as a plant growth regulator. After pretreatment with the DES, cellulose fibers self-delaminate into thin layers referred to as pseudo-CNFs, as their strength, toughness and transmittance are comparable to those of CNFs. Pseudo-CNFs break into smaller particles during recycling and thus display unique mechanical upcycling. After facile fibrillation, the obtained CNFs can independently form freestanding sub-micrometer films that show a strong, full coloration, which is demonstrated for the first time. Our concept can enable a green process, and the developed cellulosic materials may find various applications as structural materials and optical coatings.

Abstract
Raw cellulose, or even agro-industrial waste, have been extensively used for environmental applications, namely industrial water decontamination, due to their effectiveness, availability, and low production cost. This was a response to the increasing societal demand for fresh water, which made the purification of wastewater one of the major research issue for both academic and industrial R&D communities. Cellulose has undergone various derivatization reactions in order to change the cellulose surface charge density, a prerequisite condition to delaminate fibers down to nanometric fibrils through a low-energy process, and to obtain products with various structures and properties able to undergo further processing. Selective oxidation of cellulose, one of the most important methods of chemical modification, turned out to be a multitask platform to obtain new high-performance, versatile, cellulose-based materials, with many other applications aside from the environmental ones: in biomedical engineering and healthcare, energy storage, barrier and sensing applications, food packaging, etc. Various methods of selective oxidation have been studied, but among these, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) (TEMPO)-mediated and periodate oxidation reactions have attracted more interest due to their enhanced regioselectivity, high yield and degree of substitution, mild conditions, and the possibility to further process the selectively oxidized cellulose into new materials with more complex formulations. This study systematically presents the main methods commonly used for the selective oxidation of cellulose and provides a survey of the most recent reports on the environmental applications of oxidized cellulose, such as the removal of heavy metals, dyes, and other organic pollutants from the wastewater.

Abstract
Chitin, a fascinating biopolymer found in living organisms, fulfills current demands of availability, sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, functionality, and renewability. A feature of chitin is its ability to structure into hierarchical assemblies, spanning the nano- and macroscales, imparting toughness and resistance (chemical, biological, among others) to multicomponent materials as well as adding adaptability, tunability, and versatility. Retaining the inherent structural characteristics of chitin and its colloidal features in dispersed media has been central to its use, considering it as a building block for the construction of emerging materials. Top-down chitin designs have been reported and differentiate from the traditional molecular-level, bottom-up synthesis and assembly for material development. Such topics are the focus of this Review, which also covers the origins and biological characteristics of chitin and their influence on the morphological and physical-chemical properties. We discuss recent achievements in the isolation, deconstruction, and fractionation of chitin nanostructures of varying axial aspects (nanofibrils and nanorods) along with methods for their modification and assembly into functional materials. We highlight the role of nanochitin in its native architecture and as a component of materials subjected to multiscale interactions, leading to highly dynamic and functional structures. We introduce the most recent advances in the applications of nanochitin-derived materials and industrialization efforts, following green manufacturing principles. Finally, we offer a critical perspective about the adoption of nanochitin in the context of advanced, sustainable materials.
