Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are attracting extensive attention due to the long-term service life and credible safety as well as the superior price performance between the low cost of manufacture and high energy density. The fabrication of inexpensive, high-performance flexible solid-state zinc-ion batteries, thus, are urgently need for the blooming wearable electronics. Herein, as a proof-of-concept study of waste into wealth, cellulose flakes derived from waste pomelo peel are utilized as the substrate for electrodes and hydrogel electrolytes into a flexible rocking-chair zinc-ion battery. The unique sandwich-type structure holding the flake-like cellulose substrate and linear carbon nanotubes endows the flexible cathode and anode with fast ion and electron transportation. The obtained cellulose-based hydrogel electrolytes on account of special affinity with aqueous ZnSO4 electrolyte output an excellent ionic conductivity. The assembled flexible rocking-chair zinc-ion battery benefitting from the synergistic effect of sandwich-type electrodes and cellulose-based hydrogel electrolytes demonstrates outstanding electrochemical performance and mechanical properties. This work not only puts up an effective roadmap for flexible battery devices, but also reveals the great potential of waste biomass materials in energy storage applications.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues serves as the critical component to replace synthetic polymeric materials in the coming future. Agricultural residues can be used to obtain cellulose by delignification followed by bleaching. Further, cellulose is converted into nanocellulose by various methods. Nanocellulose is used in multiple pharmaceutical applications as a polymer in hydrogels, transdermal drug delivery systems, aerogels, wound healing dressing materials, as superdisintegrants in fast dissolving tablets, emulgel, microparticles, gels, foams, thickening agents, stabilizers, cosmetics, medical implants, tissue engineering, liposomes, food and composites, etc. This review provides detailed knowledge about the nature of nanocellulose regarding its high surface area, high polymerization, loading, and binding capacity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic active pharmaceutical ingredients and significance of various applications of nanocellulose. Biocompatible and non-toxic, it makes it an ideal material for applications in the biomedical field. A significant advantage is a biocompatibility, which is non-toxic for many biomedical applications.

Abstract
The novel wettability switchable cellulose nanofiber- (CNF-) based aerogel was conveniently prepared by polydopamine mediated composition of CNF and n-dodecanethiol. The wettability of aerogels can be controlled by adjusting the PDA and n-dodecanethiol loading content, which leads to a variation of water contact angle from 0-149°. The PDA was coated on cellulose nanofibers via hydrogen bonds and then n-dodecanethiol was anchored onto the scaffolds by Michael addition reaction, which was revealed by XPS and FTIR spectra. The composite aerogel can selectively absorb a series of oily liquids from the oil/water mixture, with the maximum absorption capacity of 68 g/g. This work presented a facile strategy to prepare wettability switchable CNF-based heterogenous aerogel and exhibited the potential of the composite aerogel for oil/water separation.

Abstract
Structural batteries and supercapacitors combine energy storage and structural functionalities in a single unit, leading to lighter and more efficient electric vehicles. However, conventional electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors are optimized for high energy storage and suffer from poor mechanical properties. More specifically, commercial lithium-ion battery anodes and cathodes demonstrate tensile strength values <4 MPa and Young's modulus of <1 GPa. Here, we show that using branched aramid nanofibers (BANFs) or nanoscale Kevlar fibers as a binder leads to mechanically stronger lithium-ion battery electrodes. BANFs are combined with lithium iron phosphate (LFP, cathode) or silicon (Si, anode) particles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Hydrogen-bonding interactions between rGO and BANFs are harnessed to accommodate load transfer within the nanocomposite electrodes. Overall, we obtained up to 2 orders of magnitude improvements in Young's modulus and tensile strength compared to commercial battery electrodes while maintaining good energy storage capabilities. This work demonstrates an efficient route for designing structural lithium-ion battery cathodes and anodes with enhanced mechanical properties using BANFs as a binder.

Abstract
In this study, we have successfully prepared a free-standing Si/void/rGO yolk–shell structured electrode via the electrostatic self-assembly using protonated chitosan. When graphene oxide (GO) is dispersed in water, its carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the surface are ionized, resulting in the high electronegativity of GO. Meanwhile, chitosan monomer contains -NH2 and -OH groups, forming highly electropositive protonated chitosan in acidic medium. During the electrostatic interaction between GO and chitosan, which results in a rapid coagulation phenomenon, Si/SiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in GO can be uniformly encapsulated between GO sheets. The free-standing Si/void/rGO film can be obtained by freeze-drying, high-pressure compression, thermal reduction and HF etching technology. Our investigation shows that after 200 charge/discharge cycles at the current density of 200 mA·g−1, the specific discharge capacity of the free-standing electrode remains at 1129.2 mAh·g−1. When the current density is increased to 4000 mA·g−1, the electrode still has a specific capacity of 469.2 mAh·g−1, showing good rate performance. This free-standing electrode with a yolk–shell structure shows potential applications in the field of flexible lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Recently, the frequency of combining MXene, which has unique properties such as metal-level conductivity and large specific surface area, with silicon to achieve excellent electrochemical performance has increased considerably. There is no doubt that the introduction of MXene can improve the conductivity of silicon and the cycling stability of electrodes after elaborate structure design. However, most exhaustive contacts can only improve the electrode conductivity on the plane. Herein, a MXene@Si/CNTs (HIEN-MSC) composite with hierarchical interpenetrating electroconductive networks has been synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly. In this process, the CNTs are first combined with silicon nanoparticles and then assembled with MXene nanosheets. Inserting CNTs into silicon nanoparticles can not only reduce the latter's agglomeration, but also immobilizes them on the three-dimensional conductive framework composed of CNTs and MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the HIEN-MSC electrode shows superior rate performance (high reversible capacity of 280 mA h-1 even tested at 10 A g-1 ), cycling stability (stable reversible capacity of 547 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1 ) and applicability (a high reversible capacity of 101 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles when assembled with NCM622 into a full cell). These results may provide new insights for other electrodes with excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability.

Abstract
Manganese-based transition metal oxides are regarded as one kind of high capacity and low cost anode material for Li-ion batteries. To overcome the challenges of poor electrical conductivity and large volumetric expansion during the charging-discharging process of MnO, we here synthesize MnO@carbon (MnO@C) nanowires via the polymerization inspired in situ growth of [Mn-NTA] (NTA = nitrilotriacetic acid) precursor nanowires with a subsequent heat treatment process. The growth mechanism of [Mn-NTA] precursor nanowires was studied. The morphology of the precursor nanowires depended largely on the molar ratio of MnCl2 to NTA reactants. At a molar ratio of 2, the length of the [Mn-NTA] nanowires reached up to more than 140 μm. Furthermore, the as-synthesized MnO@C nanowires were integrated with a very low content of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to prepare a self-standing paper-like MnO@C/rGO anode for lithium ion batteries without a binder. The MnO@C/rGO anode showed a unique structure with one-dimensional porous MnO nanowires hierarchically encapsulated by a conductive carbon framework. As a result, the self-standing electrode achieved a high capacity of 1368 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and prominent cycling stability with a capacity of 689.9 mA h g-1 even after 1700 cycles at 2000 mA g-1.

Abstract
With the growth of global fossil-based resource consumption and the environmental concern, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, which exhibit promising properties and could maintain an acceptable level of performance to substitute the petroleum-based ones. As elite nanomaterials, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from natural renewable resources, exhibit excellent physicochemical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility and have attracted tremendous interest nowadays. Their combination with other nanomaterials such as graphene-based materials (GNM) has been revealed to be useful and generated new hybrid materials with fascinating physicochemical characteristics and performances. In this context, the review presented herein describes the quickly growing field of a new emerging generation of CNC/GNM hybrids, with a focus on strategies for their preparation and most relevant achievements. These hybrids showed great promise in a wide range of applications such as separation, energy storage, electronic, optic, biomedical, catalysis and food packaging. Some basic concepts and general background on the preparation of CNC and GNM as well as their key features are provided ahead.

Abstract
Si is being intensively developed as a safe and high-performance anode for next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs); however, its battery application still remains challenging because of its low cycling Coulombic efficiency. To address this issue, we chose a conjugated polymer, polynaphthalene, as a carbon precursor and a low-cost commercial ferrosilicon (Fe-Si) alloy as the active phase to prepare a Fe-Si/C nanocomposite with a core-shell-like architecture through sand milling-assisted covalent-bonding method, followed by a carbonization reaction, thus forming a covalently bonded carbon coating on the surfaces of Fe-Si alloy nanoparticles. Benefitting from the greatly reduced volumetric expansion of Fe-Si alloy cores in the lithiation process and the stable interface provided by the outer carbon shell, the thus-prepared Fe-Si/C nanocomposite exhibits a high structural stability in repeated charge/discharge cycles. The experimental results reveal that the Fe-Si/C composite anode can demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 1316.2 mA h g-1 with an active mass utilization of 82.6%, a long-term cycle stability of more than 1000 cycles even at a considerably high current rate of 2.0 A g-1, and, in particular, a high cycling Coulombic efficiency of 99.7%, showing great prospect for application in practical LIBs.

Abstract
Current collectors (CCs) are an important and indispensable constituent of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and other batteries. CCs serve a vital bridge function in supporting active materials such as cathode and anode materials, binders, and conductive additives, as well as electrochemically connecting the overall structure of anodes and cathodes with an external circuit. Recently, various factors of CCs such as the thickness, hardness, compositions, coating layers, and structures have been modified to improve aspects of battery performance such as the charge/discharge cyclability, energy density, and the rate performance of a cell. In this paper, the details of interesting and useful attempts of preparing CCs for high battery performance in lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of these attempts are discussed.

Applications of Nanocellulose/Nanocarbon Composites: Focus on Biotechnology and Medicine. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10020196. [PMID: 31979245 PMCID: PMC7074939 DOI: 10.3390/nano10020196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2019] [Revised: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Nanocellulose/nanocarbon composites are newly emerging smart hybrid materials containing cellulose nanoparticles, such as nanofibrils and nanocrystals, and carbon nanoparticles, such as "classical" carbon allotropes (fullerenes, graphene, nanotubes and nanodiamonds), or other carbon nanostructures (carbon nanofibers, carbon quantum dots, activated carbon and carbon black). The nanocellulose component acts as a dispersing agent and homogeneously distributes the carbon nanoparticles in an aqueous environment. Nanocellulose/nanocarbon composites can be prepared with many advantageous properties, such as high mechanical strength, flexibility, stretchability, tunable thermal and electrical conductivity, tunable optical transparency, photodynamic and photothermal activity, nanoporous character and high adsorption capacity. They are therefore promising for a wide range of industrial applications, such as energy generation, storage and conversion, water purification, food packaging, construction of fire retardants and shape memory devices. They also hold great promise for biomedical applications, such as radical scavenging, photodynamic and photothermal therapy of tumors and microbial infections, drug delivery, biosensorics, isolation of various biomolecules, electrical stimulation of damaged tissues (e.g., cardiac, neural), neural and bone tissue engineering, engineering of blood vessels and advanced wound dressing, e.g., with antimicrobial and antitumor activity. However, the potential cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of the composites and their components must also be taken into account.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries with high electrochemical performance and stable mechanical compliance are pivotal to propel the advanced wearable electronics forward. Herein, a high-conductive flexible electrode densified from multilayer lamellar unit cells with the silicon-based sandwich structure is rationally designed by molecular engineering. Silicon nanoparticles can be uniformly anchored to the surface of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized bacterial cellulose (TOBC) aerogel through hydrogen bonding, which effectively relaxes the drastic volume expansion of the Si-based anode. The graphite microsheets (GMs) attached on silicon nanoparticles allow the porous aerogel network to maintain excellent electrical connection in all directions, and after being switched to compact film, the conductive network enables a robust contact with silicon nanoparticles. As a result, the Si-based nanomat anode exhibits reliable cycling stability (639.4 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at 1.0 A g-1) and enhanced rate capability (298.6 mA h g-1 at 1.6 A g-1). Notably, instead of conventional polyolefin separators, TOBC-reinforced silica aerogel is fabricated as an advanced separator to integrate the flexible all-in-one full-cell with freestanding GM/TOBC/silicon (GM/TOBC/Si) anode and GM/TOBC/LiFePO4 cathode. Driven by the unique structure and functional component, the flexible all-in-one lithium-ion batteries showcase exceptional deformation tolerance yet impressive charge/discharge behavior.

Abstract
Nanocellulose is cellulose in the form of nanostructures, i.e., features not exceeding 100 nm at least in one dimension. These nanostructures include nanofibrils, found in bacterial cellulose; nanofibers, present particularly in electrospun matrices; and nanowhiskers, nanocrystals, nanorods, and nanoballs. These structures can be further assembled into bigger two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) nano-, micro-, and macro-structures, such as nanoplatelets, membranes, films, microparticles, and porous macroscopic matrices. There are four main sources of nanocellulose: bacteria (Gluconacetobacter), plants (trees, shrubs, herbs), algae (Cladophora), and animals (Tunicata). Nanocellulose has emerged for a wide range of industrial, technology, and biomedical applications, namely for adsorption, ultrafiltration, packaging, conservation of historical artifacts, thermal insulation and fire retardation, energy extraction and storage, acoustics, sensorics, controlled drug delivery, and particularly for tissue engineering. Nanocellulose is promising for use in scaffolds for engineering of blood vessels, neural tissue, bone, cartilage, liver, adipose tissue, urethra and dura mater, for repairing connective tissue and congenital heart defects, and for constructing contact lenses and protective barriers. This review is focused on applications of nanocellulose in skin tissue engineering and wound healing as a scaffold for cell growth, for delivering cells into wounds, and as a material for advanced wound dressings coupled with drug delivery, transparency and sensorics. Potential cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of nanocellulose are also discussed.
