Dissolving-co-catalytic strategy for the preparation of flexible and wet-stable cellulose membrane towards biodegradable packaging. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133454. [PMID: 38964692 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133454] [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: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
In the realization of the goal of circular economy, cellulose as one of sustainable biomass resources, have attracted much attention because of their abundant sources, biodegradability and renewability. However, the mechanical and waterproof performance of cellulose-based materials are usually not satisfying, which limits their high-value utilization. In this study, cellulose membrane with high-performance from the aspects of mechanical properties, water-resistance ability, oxygen barrier capacity and biodegradability, was prepared from bleached hardwood pulp (HBKP) in a AlCl3/ZnCl2/H2O solution. The AlCl3/ZnCl2/H2O acted as both solvent and catalyst to dissolve cellulose and facilitate the chemical crosslinking of epichlorohydrin (EPI) with cellulose, thus improved the overall performance of the obtained cellulose membrane. The addition sequence, amount and crosslinking time of EPI during chemical crosslinking had important effects on the properties of the membranes. When 7 wt% EPI was crosslinked for 24 h, the tensile stress reached 133 MPa and the strain reached 17 %. Moreover, the membrane had excellent oxygen insulation down to (1.1 ± 0.31) × 10-4 cm3/m2·d·Pa, and good water-resistance ability, no obvious swelling behavior after 450 days of immersion in distilled water. Furthermore, the membrane could be degraded by microorganisms in about 20 days. This cellulose-based membrane offers a sustainable and biodegradable packaging material.

Abstract
Flexible pressure sensors are intensively demanded in various fields such as electronic skin, medical and health detection, wearable electronics, etc. MXene is considered an excellent sensing material due to its benign metal conductivity and adjustable interlayer distance. Exhibiting both high sensitivity and long-term stability is currently an urgent pursuit in MXene-based flexible pressure sensors. In this work, high-strength methylcellulose was introduced into the MXene film to increase the interlayer distance of 2D nanosheets and fundamentally overcome the self-stacking problem. Thus, concurrent improvement of the sensing capability and mechanical strength was obtained. By appropriately modulating the ratio of methylcellulose and MXene, the obtained pressure sensor presents a high sensitivity of 19.41 kPa-1 (0.88-24.09 kPa), good stability (10000 cycles), and complete biodegradation in H2O2 solution within 2 days. Besides, the sensor is capable of detecting a wide range of human activities (pulse, gesture, joint movement, etc.) and can precisely recognize spatial pressure distribution, which serves as a good candidate for next-generation wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
Eutectic Gallium-Indium (EGaIn) liquid metal is an emerging phase change metal material, but its low phase transition enthalpy and low light absorption limit its application in photothermal phase change energy storage materials (PCMs) field. Here, based on the dipole layer mechanism, stearic acid (STA)-EGaIn-based PCMs which exhibit extraordinary solar-thermal performance and phase change enthalpy are fabricated by ball milling method. The wood lamella-inspired cellulose-derived aerogel and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) are used to support the PCMs by the capillary force and decrease the interfacial thermal resistance. The resulted PCMs achieved excellent photothermal conversion performance and leakage proof. They have excellent thermal conductivity of 0.31 W m-1 K-1 (this is increased by 138% as compared with pure STA), and high phase change enthalpy of187.50 J g-1 , which is higher than the most of the reported PCMs. Additionally, the thermal management system and infrared stealth materials based on the PCMs are developed. This work provides a new way to fabricate smart EGaIn-based PCMs for energy storage device thermal management and infrared stealth.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic network (MPN) foams are prepared using colloidal suspensions of tannin-containing cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) that are ice-templated and thawed in ethanolic media in the presence of metal nitrates. The MPN facilitates the formation of solid foams by air drying, given the strength and self-supporting nature of the obtained tannin-cellulose nanohybrid structures. The porous characteristics and (dry and wet) compression strength of the foams are rationalized by the development of secondary, cohesive metal-phenolic layers combined with a hydrogen bonding network involving the CNF. The shrinkage of the MPN foams is as low as 6% for samples prepared with 2.5-10% tannic acid (or condensed tannin at 2.5%) with respect to CNF content. The strength of the MPN foams reaches a maximum at 10% tannic acid (using Fe(III) ions), equivalent to a compressive strength 70% higher than that produced with tannin-free CNF foams. Overall, a straightforward framework is introduced to synthesize MPN foams whose physical and mechanical properties are tailored by the presence of tannins as well as the metal ion species that enable the metal-phenolic networking. Depending on the metal ion, the foams are amenable to modification according to the desired application.

Abstract
Excess phosphate in water can cause eutrophication, which must be addressed. Despite many efforts devoted to the adsorptive removal of phosphate from water, the development of new adsorbents with high adsorption capacity is highly desirable. Herein, a novel nanocomposite was proposed for phosphate removal by confining hydrated ferric oxide (HFO) nanoparticles into a cellulose aerogel (CA) network named as HFO@CA. Benefiting from the characteristics of the low density and porous structure of CA, the internal surface of the nanocomposite is more accessible and thus improves the utilization of the HFO nanoparticles. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the phosphate uptake by the prepared adsorbent. The maximum adsorption capacity of HFO@CA occurs at near-acidic pH. With increasing temperature, the composite adsorbent is more favorable for phosphate adsorption. Moreover, the hybrid aerogel exhibited fast kinetic behavior for phosphate removal, which could be accurately depicted by pseudo-second-order model. HFO@CA shows excellent adsorption selectivity in solutions containing competitive anions at higher levels. In addition, five cycles of the phosphate adsorption experiments without obvious capacity loss indicated that HFO@CA has great regenerability. These results demonstrate that HFO@CA has a wide field of application with good prospects in phosphate removal from wastewater, which also provides a new strategy to prepare adsorbents with excellent performance using renewable cellulose resources.

Abstract
Electronic skin has aroused extensive research interest due to high similarity with human skin. Realizing a multifunctional electronic skin that is highly consistent with skin functions and endowed with more other functions is now a more urgent need and important challenge. Here, we use 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibril (TOCN) dispersion and highly conductive Ti3C2TX dispersion to prepare TOCN/Ti3C2TX composite film through vacuum-assisted filtration. The obtained composite film imitating the nacre-like lamellar structure of natural shells has good mechanical properties (124.6 MPa of tensile strength). Meanwhile, the composite film also showed excellent electromagnetic shielding performance (36 dB), biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties. In addition, the piezoresistive sensor assembled from the composite film exhibited a high sensitivity (11.6 kPa-1), fast response and recovery time (≤10 ms), ultralow monitoring limit (0.2 Pa), and long-term stability (>10 000 cycles). It also could detect human daily activities such as finger bent, chewing, and so on.
