[PMID: 38942667 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133078] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
This study presents an innovative and environmentally friendly method to produce fibrous cellulose beads by mechanically stirring natural fibers in an aqueous medium. Date palm fibers are transformed into uniform beads with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 mm through chemical treatment and mechanical agitation. These beads are then decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag0 NPs) in a one-step synthesis, giving them catalytic capabilities for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and antibacterial activities. Characterization techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TGA confirmed the successful synthesis and deposition of Ag0 NPs on the cellulose beads. Tests showed complete conversion of 4-NP to 4-AP in just 7 min, with pseudo-first-order kinetics and a Kapp of 0.590 min-1. Additionally, Ag0@CB demonstrated exceptional recyclability and stability over five cycles, with minimal silver release. The beads also showed strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, effectively eradicating bacterial colonies in 30 min. In summary, Ag0@CB exhibits multifunctional capabilities for degrading organic pollutants and biomedical applications, offering promising potential for large-scale production and practical use in water treatment and antibacterial coatings.

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
Water pollution and solid waste resource reuse demand immediate attention and research. Here, we present a method to create anisotropic cellulose sponges from cotton stalk waste. Using the inherent structure of cotton stalks, we selectively remove lignin and hemicellulose via acid and alkali pretreatment. This process yields cellulose sponges with a natural pore structure. Our findings demonstrate that these sponges retain the original pore configuration of cotton stalks, providing excellent connectivity and compressibility due to their unique anisotropic three-dimensional structure. Moreover, these sponges exhibit exceptional super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic properties, with underwater oil contact angles exceeding 150° for all tested oils. External pressure can reduce the pore size of the cellulose sponge, facilitating the gravity-driven separation and removal of dyes and emulsions. Remarkably, removal efficiencies for Methylene Blue (MB), Congo Red (CR), water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, and oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions exceed 99 %, 97 %, 99 %, and 99 %, respectively, highlighting superior removal and recyclability. Further investigation into the mechanisms of dye and emulsion removal employs X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. These insights lay the groundwork for the efficient recycling and resource utilization of waste cotton stalks, offering promising applications in water purification.

Abstract
Porous materials with ultrahigh specific strength are highly desirable for aerospace, automotive and construction applications. However, because of the harsh processing of metal foams and intrinsic low strength of polymer foams, both are difficult to meet the demand for scalable development of structural foams. Herein, we present a supramolecular metallic foam (SMF) enabled by core-shell nanostructured liquid metals connected with high-density metal-ligand coordination and hydrogen bonding interactions, which maintain fluid to avoid stress concentration during foam processing at subzero temperatures. The resulted SMFs exhibit ultrahigh specific strength of 489.68 kN m kg-1 (about 5 times and 56 times higher than aluminum foams and polyurethane foams) and specific modulus of 281.23 kN m kg-1 to withstand the repeated loading of a car, overturning the previous understanding of the difficulty to achieve ultrahigh mechanical properties in traditional polymeric or organic foams. More importantly, end-of-life SMFs can be reprocessed into value-added products (e.g., fibers and films) by facile water reprocessing due to the high-density interfacial supramolecular bonding. We envisage this work will not only pave the way for porous structural materials design but also show the sustainable solution to plastic environmental risks.

A Universal Biomacromolecule-Enabled Assembly Strategy for Constructing Multifunctional Aerogels with 90% Inorganic Mass Loading from Inert Nano-Building Blocks. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2402334.

Abstract
Inert inorganic nano-building blocks, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride (BN) nanosheets, possess excellent physicochemical properties. However, it remains challenging to build aerogels with these inert nanomaterials unless they are chemically modified or compounded with petrochemical polymers, which affects their intrinsic properties and is usually not environmentally friendly. Here, a universal biomacromolecule-enabled assembly strategy is proposed to construct aerogels with 90 wt% ultrahigh inorganic loading. The super-high inorganic content is beneficial for exploiting the inherent properties of inert nanomaterials in multifunctional applications. Taking chitosan-CNTs aerogel as a proof-of-concept demonstration, it delivers sensitive pressure response as a pressure sensor, an ultrahigh sunlight absorption (94.5%) raising temperature under light (from 25 to 71 °C within 1 min) for clean-up of crude oil spills, and superior electromagnetic interference shielding performance of up to 68.9 dB. This strategy paves the way for the multifunctional application of inert nanomaterials by constructing aerogels with ultrahigh inorganic loading.

Abstract
Anisotropic structures exist in almost all living organisms to endow them with superior properties and physiological functionalities. However, conventional artificial materials possess unordered isotropic structures, resulting in limited functions and applications. The development of anisotropic structures on carbohydrates is reported to have an impact on their properties and applications. In this review, various alignment strategies for carbohydrates (i.e., cellulose, chitin and alginate) from bottom-up to top-down strategies are discussed, including the rapidly developed innovative technologies such as shear-induced orientation through extrusion-based 3D/4D printing, magnetic-assisted alignment, and electric-induced alignment. The unique properties and wide applications of anisotropic carbohydrate materials across different fields, from biomedical, biosensors, smart actuators, soft conductive materials, to thermal management are also summarized. Finally, recommendations on the selection of fabrication strategies are given. The major challenge lies in the construction of long-range hierarchical alignment with high orientation degree and precise control over complicated architectures. With the future development of hierarchical alignment strategies, alignment control techniques, and alignment mechanism elucidation, the potential of anisotropic carbohydrate materials for scalable manufacture and clinical applications will be fully realized.

Abstract
The methods used to date to produce compressible wood foam by top-down approaches generally involve the removal of lignin and hemicelluloses. Herein, we introduce a route to convert solid wood into a super elastic and insulative foam-like material. The process uses sequential oxidation and reduction with partial removal of lignin but high hemicellulose retention (process yield of 72.8%), revealing fibril nanostructures from the wood's cell walls. The elasticity of the material is shown to result from a lamellar structure, which provides reversible shape recovery along the transverse direction at compression strains of up to 60% with no significant axial deformation. The compressibility is readily modulated by the oxidation degree, which changes the crystallinity and mobility of the solid phase around the lumina. The performance of the highly resilient foam-like material is also ascribed to the amorphization of cellulosic fibrils, confirmed by experimental and computational (molecular dynamics) methods that highlight the role of secondary interactions. The foam-like wood is optionally hydrophobized by chemical vapor deposition of short-chained organosilanes, which also provides flame retardancy. Overall, we introduce a foam-like material derived from wood based on multifunctional nanostructures (anisotropically compressible, thermally insulative, hydrophobic, and flame retardant) that are relevant to cushioning, protection, and packaging.

Abstract
Utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF) materials for the extraction of bromide ions (Br-) from aqueous solutions, as an alternative to chlorine gas oxidation technology, holds promising potential for future applications. However, the limitations of powdered MOFs, such as low utilization efficiency, ease of aggregation in water, and challenging recovery processes, have hindered their practical application. Shaping MOF materials into application-oriented forms represents an effective but challenging approach to address these drawbacks. In this work, a novel Ag-UiO-66-(OH)2@delignified wood cellulose aerogel (CA) adsorbent is synthesized using an oil bath impregnation method, involving the deposition of UiO-66-(OH)2 nanoparticles onto CA and the uniform dispersion of Ag0 nanoparticles across its surface. CA, characterized by the intertwined cellulose nanofiber structure and a highly hydrophilic surface, serves as an ideal substrate for the uniform growth of UiO-66-(OH)2 nanoparticles, which, in turn, spontaneously reduce Ag+ to form distributed Ag0 nanoparticles due to the abundant hydroxyl groups provided. Leveraging the well-defined biological structure of CA, which offers excellent mass transfer channels, and the highly dispersed Ag adsorption sites, Ag-UiO-(OH)2/CA exhibits remarkable adsorption capacity (642 mg/gAg) under optimized conditions. Furthermore, an integrated device is constructed by interconnecting Ag-UiO-(OH)2/CA adsorbents in series, affirming its potential application in the continuous recovery of Br-. This study not only presents an efficient Ag-UiO-(OH)2/CA adsorbent for Br- recovery but also sheds light on the extraction of other valuable elements from various liquid ores.

Construction of Nanofibrillar Networked Wood Aerogels Derived from Typical Softwood and Hardwood: A Comparative Study on the In Situ Formation Mechanism of Nanofibrillar Networks. Molecules 2024; 29:938. [PMID: 38474450 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29050938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The construction of networks within natural wood (NW) lumens to produce porous wood aerogels (WAs) with fascinating characteristics of being lightweight, flexible, and porous is significant for the high value-added utilization of wood. Nonetheless, how wood species affect the structure and properties of WAs has not been comprehensively investigated. Herein, typical softwood of fir and hardwoods of poplar and balsa are employed to fabricate WAs with abundant nanofibrillar networks using the method of lignin removal and nanofibril's in situ regeneration. Benefiting from the avoidance of xylem ray restriction and the exposure of the cellulose framework, hardwood has a stronger tendency to form nanofibrillar networks compared to softwood. Specifically, a larger and more evenly distributed network structure is displayed in the lumens of balsa WAs (WA-3) with a low density (59 kg m-3), a high porosity (96%), and high compressive properties (strain = 40%; maximum stress = 0.42 MPa; height retention = 100%) because of the unique structure and properties of WA-3. Comparatively, the specific surface area (SSA) exhibits 25-, 27-, and 34-fold increments in the cases of fir WAs (WA-1), poplar WAs (WA-2), and WA-3. The formation of nanofibrillar networks depends on the low-density and thin cell walls of hardwood. This work offers a foundation for investigating the formation mechanisms of nanonetworks and for expanding the potential applications of WAs.

Abstract
A novel lignocellulosic aerogel, MT-LCA, was successfully prepared from MT by undergoing partial dissolution in an ionic liquid, coagulation in water, freezing in liquid nitrogen, and subsequent freeze-drying. The MT-LCA preserves its original honeycomb-like porous structure, and the newly formed micropores contribute to increased porosity and specific surface area. FT-IR analysis reveals that MT, after dissolution and coagulation, experiences no chemical reactions. However, a change in the crystalline structure of cellulose is observed, transitioning from cellulose I to cellulose II. Both MT and MT-LCA demonstrate a quasi-second-order kinetic process during methylene blue adsorption, indicative of chemical adsorption. The Langmuir model proves to be more appropriate for characterizing the methylene blue adsorption process. Both adsorbents exhibit monolayer adsorption, and their effective adsorption sites are uniformly distributed. The higher porosity, nanoscale micropores, and larger pore size in MT-LCA enhance its capillary force, providing efficient directional transport performance. Consequently, the prepared MT-LCA displays exceptional compressive performance and efficient directional transport capabilities, making it well-suited for applications requiring high compressive performance and selective directional transport.

Abstract
The on-demand regulation of cell wall microstructures is crucial for developing wood as a functional building material for energy management and conversion. Here, a novel strategy based on reactive deep eutectic solvent is developed to one-step in situ fibrillate wood via disrupting the hydrogen bonding networks in cell walls and simultaneously carboxylating wood components, without significantly altering the native hierarchical structures of wood. Benefiting from its distinctive cell wall structure composed of individualized yet well-organized lignocellulose nanofibrils, in situ fibrillated wood exhibits a prominent mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of 81 m2/g. It represents a robust sponge material (5 MPa at 80% strain) with excellent durability. Due to the enhanced compressibility and charge polarization capacity, the in situ fibrillated wood (10 × 11 × 12 mm3) can generate a piezoelectric output voltage of up to 2 V under 221 kPa stress. The favorable microstructural characteristics render in situ fibrillated wood with highly thermal-insulating properties, high solar reflectivity, and mid-infrared emissivity, favoring outdoor passive cooling effects with a subambient temperature drop of 6 °C. Combining its controllable, durable, and eco-friendly attributes, our developed wood sponge represents a versatile structural material suitable for indoor/outdoor energy-saving applications.

Abstract
Solar-driven viscosity reduction of highly viscous crude oil has emerged as an environmentally friendly method to address large-scale oil spills. However, the challenge lies in the limited availability of sunlight during cloudy days and at night, which hinders the effectiveness of green advanced porous materials. This study developed all-weather-available advanced porous materials in the form of loofah-like structured porous frame composed of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane/MXene/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/sodium alginate (SA)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (NaCMC). MXene and CNTs formed a continuous and stable network that enabled PMCSCPs to rapidly reduce crude oil viscosity for all-day based on photothermal and electrothermal conversions. Additionally, loofah-like porous structure and oriented pipeline biomass skeleton endowed PMCSCPs with stable and rapid adsorption capacity and speed. Considering the complexity of the external environment and oily wastewater composition, we verified the separation performance of PMCSCPs for metal ions and dyes and the ice-breaking ability under icy conditions. PMCSCPs provided a novel approach to achieving clean, high-efficiency, all-day remediation of ultra-viscous crude oil. This "Three birds with one stone" approach is expected to be obtained from nature and used on a large scale, replacing conventional porous adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Strong, lightweight, and shape-memory cellulose aerogels have great potential in multifunctional applications. However, achieving the integration of these features into a cellulose aerogel without harsh chemical modifications and the addition of mechanical enhancers remains challenging. In this study, a strong, lightweight, and water-stimulated shape-memory all-cellulose aerogel (ACA) is created using a combination strategy of partial dissolution and unidirectional freezing from bamboo. Benefiting from the firm architecture of cellulose microfibers bridging cellulose nanofibers /regenerated cellulose aggregated layers and the bonding of different cellulose crystal components (cellulose Iβ and cellulose II), the ACA, with low density (60.74 mg cm-3 ), possesses high compressive modulus (radial section: 1.2 MPa, axial section: 0.96 MPa). Additionally, when stimulated with water, the ACA exhibits excellent shape-memory features, including highly reversible compression-resilience and instantaneous fold-expansion behaviors. As a versatile scaffold, ACA can be integrated with hydroxyapatite, carboxyl carbon nanotubes, and LiCl, respectively, via a simple impregnation method to yield functionalized cellulose composites for applications in thermal insulation, electromagnetic interference shielding, and piezoresistive sensors. This study provides inspiration and a reliable strategy for the elaborately structural design of functional cellulose aerogels endows application prospects in various multifunction opportunities.

Abstract
Transparent wood composites (TWs) offer the possibility of unique coloration effects. A colored transparent wood composite (C-TW) with enhanced fire retardancy was impregnated by metal ion solutions, followed by methyl methacrylate (MMA) impregnation and polymerization. Bleached birch wood with a preserved hierarchical structure acted as a host for metal ions. Cobalt, nickel, copper, and iron metal salts were used. The location and distribution of metal ions in C-TW as well as the mechanical performance, optical properties, and fire retardancy were investigated. The C-TW coloration is tunable by controlling the metal ion species and concentration. The metal ions reduced heat release rates and limited the production of smoke during forced combustion tests. The potential for scaled-up production was verified by fabricating samples with a dimension of 180 × 100 × 1 (l × b × h) mm3.

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
Bone defects have attracted increasing attention in clinical settings. To date, there have been no effective methods to repair defective bones. Balsa wood aerogels are considered as an excellent source of chemicals for chemical modification to facilitate the in situ immobilization of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8. Furthermore, dexamethasone has received considerable attention for bone tissue engineering. In this study, for the first time, a simple but effective one-pot method for developing a novel zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 with different concentrations of dexamethasone was developed. These findings illustrate that the novel scaffold has a significant positive impact on osteogenic differentiation in vitro and repairs defects in vivo, suggesting that it can be used in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have important applications in the fields of optoelectronics and sewage treatment due to their high specific surface area, broad visible absorption, processability and simple synthesis process. Biocompatibility, recycling, mass production and solar photodegradation are particularly important in wastewater treatment. Here, A CMP with a high specific surface area and a hierarchical pore structure (CPOP) was constructed based on 4,4',4″-Tris(carbazol-9-yl)-triphenylamine (3CZ-TPA). Furthermore, a CMP-loaded wood aerogel (CPOP/wood aerogel) with physical adsorption, chemical degradation, bacterial inhibition and self-cleaning properties was prepared by in situ polymerization and used for wastewater treatment. The obtained CPOP/wood aerogel is highly biocompatible and easy to recycle. In addition, the inherent broad visible light absorption property of CPOP endows it with promising photocatalytic properties. Subsequently, we investigated the photocatalytic mechanism of CPOP, and the results showed that it was mainly affected by peroxyl radicals, which implied and confirmed its microbial self-cleaning for secondary cleaning of water pollutants. The reported studies on CPOP/wood aerogel provide a new direction for water purification materials with excellent adsorption, degradation and antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced quenching often restricts emissive performance of optically active solid materials with embedded fluorescent dyes. Delignified and nanoporous wood readily adsorbs organic dyes and is investigated as a host material for rhodamine 6G (R6G). High concentration of R6G (>35 mM) is achieved in delignified wood without any ground-state dye aggregation. To evaluate emissive performance, a solid-state random dye laser is prepared using the dye-doped wood substrates. The performance in terms of lasing threshold and efficiency was improved with increased dye content due to the ability of delignified wood to disperse R6G.

Abstract
Water reclamation is the most effective way to continuously provide clean water to combat catastrophic global water scarcity. However, current technology for water purification is not conducive to sustainability due to the high energy consumption and negative environmental impact. Here, we introduce an innovative method by utilizing the hierarchical microstructure of bamboo for water purification. Natural bamboo was delignified followed by freeze-drying to obtain a bamboo aerogel with a porosity of 72.0%; then, the bamboo aerogel was coated with silver nanoparticles to form a hierarchical bamboo/silver nanoparticle composite. The scanning electron microscopy images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results indicated that the silver nanoparticles were uniformly attached to the parenchyma cell surface. By physical adsorption and catalytic reduction, the bamboo/silver nanoparticle composite was able to degrade methylene blue by more than 96.7%, which is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area of the bamboo providing more space for the purification reaction. This composite can be potentially used for board applications with its high porosity, mechanical reliability, and sustainability.

Abstract
Optically transparent wood has been fabricated by structure-retaining delignification of wood and subsequent infiltration of thermo- or photocurable polymer resins but still limited by the intrinsic low mesopore volume of the delignified wood. Here we report a facile approach to fabricate strong transparent wood composites using the wood xerogel which allows solvent-free infiltration of resin monomers into the wood cell wall under ambient conditions. The wood xerogel with high specific surface area (260 m2 g-1) and high mesopore volume (0.37 cm3 g-1) is prepared by evaporative drying of delignified wood comprising fibrillated cell walls at ambient pressure. The mesoporous wood xerogel is compressible in the transverse direction and provides precise control of the microstructure, wood volume fraction, and mechanical properties for the transparent wood composites without compromising the optical transmittance. Transparent wood composites of large size and high wood volume fraction (50%) are successfully prepared, demonstrating potential scalability of the method.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things and flexible electronic technologies, there is a growing demand for wireless, sustainable, multifunctional, and independently operating self-powered wearable devices. Nevertheless, structural flexibility, long operating time, and wearing comfort have become key requirements for the widespread adoption of wearable electronics. Triboelectric nanogenerators as a distributed energy harvesting technology have great potential for application development in wearable sensing. Compared with rigid electronics, cellulosic self-powered wearable electronics have significant advantages in terms of flexibility, breathability, and functionality. In this paper, the research progress of advanced cellulosic triboelectric materials for self-powered wearable electronics is reviewed. The interfacial characteristics of cellulose are introduced from the top-down, bottom-up, and interfacial characteristics of the composite material preparation process. Meanwhile, the modulation strategies of triboelectric properties of cellulosic triboelectric materials are presented. Furthermore, the design strategies of triboelectric materials such as surface functionalization, interfacial structure design, and vacuum-assisted self-assembly are systematically discussed. In particular, cellulosic self-powered wearable electronics in the fields of human energy harvesting, tactile sensing, health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and intelligent fire warning are outlined in detail. Finally, the current challenges and future development directions of cellulosic triboelectric materials for self-powered wearable electronics are discussed.

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
Polymer shape-memory aerogels (PSMAs) are prospects in various fields of application ranging from aerospace to biomedicine, as advanced thermal insulators, actuators, or sensors. However, the fabrication of PSMAs with good mechanical performance is challenging and is currently dominated by fossil-based polymers. In this work, strong, shape-memory bio-aerogels with high specific surface areas (up to 220 m2/g) and low radial thermal conductivity (0.042 W/mK) were prepared through a one-step treatment of native wood using an ionic liquid mixture of [MTBD]+[MMP]-/DMSO. The aerogel showed similar chemical composition similar to native wood. Nanoscale spatial rearrangement of wood biopolymers in the cell wall and lumen was achieved, resulting in flexible hydrogels, offering design freedom for subsequent aerogels with intricate geometries. Shape-memory function under stimuli of water was reported. The chemical composition and distribution, morphology, and mechanical performance of the aerogel were carefully studied using confocal Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SAXS/WAXS, NMR, digital image correlation, etc. With its simplicity, sustainability, and the broad range of applicability, the methodology developed for nanoscale reassembly of wood is an advancement for the design of biobased shape-memory aerogels.

Abstract
The building sector, including building operations and materials, was responsible for the emission of ∼11.9 gigatons of global energy-related CO2 in 2020, accounting for 37% of the total CO2 emissions, the largest share among different sectors. Lowering the carbon footprint of buildings requires the development of carbon-storage materials as well as novel designs that could enable multifunctional components to achieve widespread applications. Wood is one of the most abundant biomaterials on Earth and has been used for construction historically. Recent research breakthroughs on advanced engineered wood products epitomize this material's tremendous yet largely untapped potential for addressing global sustainability challenges. In this review, we explore recent developments in chemically modified wood that will produce a new generation of engineered wood products for building applications. Traditionally, engineered wood products have primarily had a structural purpose, but this review broadens the classification to encompass more aspects of building performance. We begin by providing multiscale design principles of wood products from a computational point of view, followed by discussion of the chemical modifications and structural engineering methods used to modify wood in terms of its mechanical, thermal, optical, and energy-related performance. Additionally, we explore life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis tools for guiding future research toward environmentally friendly and economically feasible directions for engineered wood products. Finally, this review highlights the current challenges and perspectives on future directions in this research field. By leveraging these new wood-based technologies and analysis tools for the fabrication of carbon-storage materials, it is possible to design sustainable and carbon-negative buildings, which could have a significant impact on mitigating climate change.

Abstract
The development of electrospun nanofibers based on cellulose and its derivatives is an inalienable task of modern materials science branches related to biomedical engineering. The considerable compatibility with multiple cell lines and capability to form unaligned nanofibrous frameworks help reproduce the properties of natural extracellular matrix and ensure scaffold applications as cell carriers promoting substantial cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation. In this paper, we are focusing on the structural features of cellulose itself and electrospun cellulosic fibers, including fiber diameter, spacing, and alignment responsible for facilitated cell capture. The study emphasizes the role of the most frequently discussed cellulose derivatives (cellulose acetate, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, etc.) and composites in scaffolding and cell culturing. The key issues of the electrospinning technique in scaffold design and insufficient micromechanics assessment are discussed. Based on recent studies aiming at the fabrication of artificial 2D and 3D nanofiber matrices, the current research provides the applicability assessment of the scaffolds toward osteoblasts (hFOB line), fibroblastic (NIH/3T3, HDF, HFF-1, L929 lines), endothelial (HUVEC line), and several other cell types. Furthermore, a critical aspect of cell adhesion through the adsorption of proteins on the surfaces is touched upon.

Abstract
High-speed shear system is usually used for the dispersion improvement of slurry, nanomaterials preparation, and even two-dimensional materials production. However, there is barely study that focused on the regenerated cellulose (RC) which was coagulated with shear induced. In this work, a new type of all-cellulose air filter was fabricated through high-speed shear in aqueous regeneration system using parenchyma cellulose from corn stalk. The obtained RC were aggregated by ribbon-like fine cellulose and nanocellulose sheets. The study exhibited the micro-structure of RC displayed excellent unidirectional alignment and a relatively high crystallinity. All-cellulose air filter which was produced via RC presented excellent filtration efficiency (PM2.5 97.3 %, PM10.0 97.7 %) with slightly pressure drop (19 Pa). Therefore, this work provides a facile method to obtain a novel RC with nanocellulose particles used for air filtration, which gives an effective strategy application in the conversion of all-cellulose materials from agricultural waste.

Abstract
Cellulose sponges with compressibility and resilience are an ideal packaging material for fruits with fragile skin. Here, a soft and elastic all-cellulose sponge (CS) with a hierarchical cellular structure was fabricated, where the long molecular chain cellulose constructed major pores, the cellulose at nanoscale acted as an elastic nanofiller to fill the gaps of long molecular chain cellulose fibers and constructed minor pores. With these two kinds of pores, this structure can absorb strain hierarchically. The sponge can protect fruits from mechanical damage when dropped or repeated vibration. Furthermore, the CS modified with chlorogenic acid (C-CGAS) had excellent antibacterial and antifungal abilities. Therefore, C-CGAS could extend the storage time of strawberries to 18 days without any microbial invasion, which is the longest storage time reported thus far. This study provides a new idea for the preparation of polymer sponges and a new design for the development of antimicrobial packaging materials.

Biopolymeric Fibrous Aerogels: The Sustainable Alternative for Water Remediation. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15020262. [PMID: 36679143 PMCID: PMC9867057 DOI: 10.3390/polym15020262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The increment in water pollution due to the massive development in the industrial sector is a worldwide concern due to its impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, the development of new and sustainable alternatives for water remediation is needed. In this context, aerogels present high porosity, low density, and a remarkable adsorption capacity, making them candidates for remediation applications demonstrating high efficiency in removing pollutants from the air, soil, and water. Specifically, polymer-based aerogels could be modified in their high surface area to integrate functional groups, decrease their hydrophilicity, or increase their lipophilicity, among other variations, expanding and enhancing their efficiency as adsorbents for the removal of various pollutants in water. The aerogels based on natural polymers such as cellulose, chitosan, or alginate processed by different techniques presented high adsorption capacities, efficacy in oil/water separation and dye removal, and excellent recyclability after several cycles. Although there are different reviews based on aerogels, this work gives an overview of just the natural biopolymers employed to elaborate aerogels as an eco-friendly and renewable alternative. In addition, here we show the synthesis methods and applications in water cleaning from pollutants such as dyes, oil, and pharmaceuticals, providing novel information for the future development of biopolymeric-based aerogel.

Abstract
Development of a novel strategy to tackle bacterial-contaminated complex industrial wastewaters containing refractory organic pollutants is of great demand. In this study, polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetic cellulose nanofiber (MCNF)-loaded silver nanoparticle (AgNP) (MCNF/PDA-Ag) nanocomposites were designed and applied for efficient degradation of organic dye pollutants and inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in wastewater. In the presence of NaBH4, MCNF/PDA-Ag could achieve a high catalytic reduction rate of 6.54 min-1 for the removal of methylene blue. Similarly, it showed good catalytic reduction performance for methyl orange (0.63 min-1) and 4-nitrophenol (2.94 min-1). The MCNF/PDA-Ag nanocomposites can be easily magnetically recycled and reused with negligible loss of catalytic performance. Moreover, this nanocatalyst also exhibited excellent disinfection performance against E. coli, with more than 99% disinfection ratio at very low doses (50 μg/mL). Overall, this work provides new insights into a delicate design of advanced magnetically recyclable silver nanocomposites with ultrahigh catalytic rates and excellent antibacterial properties from sustainable nature biomass.

Abstract
Current artificial periostea mainly focus on osteogenic activity but overlook structural and mechanical anisotropy, as well as the importance of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, inspired by the anisotropic structure of wood, the delignified wood (named white wood, WW) with a porous and highly oriented cellulose fiber skeleton was obtained, which was further filled with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel loaded with curcumin (Cur) and phytic acid (PA). The prepared wood-derived hydrogel composite membranes can not only exhibit an obvious anisotropic structure and good mechanical properties but also sustainably release loaded drugs to obtain long-term biological activities. Creatively, PA can effectively improve the bioavailability of Cur; more importantly, Cur and PA play an obvious synergistic effect in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic activities. Compared with the wood-derived hydrogel composite membranes without drug loading, as well as loaded with Cur or PA only, these loaded with Cur and PA are significantly more conducive to inhibiting the growth of bacteria and inflammatory response and facilitating the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. This kind of anisotropic wood-derived hydrogel composite membrane with fantastic antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic activities is expected to be ideal artificial periostea.

Abstract
Superior strong and tough structural materials are highly desirable in engineering applications. However, it remains a big challenge to combine these two mutually exclusive mechanical properties into one body. In the work, an ultrastrong and tough cellulosic material was fabricated by a two-step process of delignification and water molecule-induced hydrogen bonding under compression. The strong and tough cellulosic material showed enhanced tensile strength (352 MPa vs. 56 MPa for natural wood) and toughness (4.1 MJ m-3 vs. 0.42 MJ m-3 for natural wood). The mechanical behaviors of ultrastrong and tough bulk material in a tensile state were simulated by finite element analysis (FEA) using mechanical parameters measured in the experiment. FEA results showed that the tensile strength and toughness gradually simultaneously improved with the increase in moisture content, demonstrating that water molecules played an active role in fabricating strong and tough materials, by plasticizing and forming hydrogen bonding among cellulose nanofibrils.

Abstract
Naturally derived cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) with desirable physicochemical properties have drawn tremendous attention for their versatile applications in a broad range of fields. More recently, Janus amphiphilic cellulose nanomaterial particles with asymmetric structures (i.e., reducing and nonreducing ends and crystalline and amorphous domains) have been in the spotlight, offering a rich and sophisticated toolbox for Janus nanomaterials. With careful surface and interfacial engineering, Janus CNM particles have demonstrated great potential as surface modifiers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, compatibilizers, and dispersants in emulsions, nanocomposites, and suspensions. Naturally derived Janus CNM particles offer a fascinating opportunity for scaling up the production of self-standing Janus CNM membranes. Nevertheless, most Janus CNM membranes to date are constructed by asymmetric fabrication or asymmetric modification without considering the Janus traits of CNM particles. More future research should focus on the self-assembly of Janus CNM particles into bulk self-standing Janus CNM membranes to enable more straightforward and sustainable approaches for Janus membranes. This review explores the fabrication, structure-property relationship, and Janus configuration mechanisms of Janus CNM particles and membranes. Janus CNM membranes are highlighted for their versatile applications in liquid, thermal, and light management. This review also highlights the significant advances and future perspectives in the construction and application of sustainable Janus CNM particles and membranes.

Abstract
Continuous filtering adsorption has drawn growing interest in the exploration of uranium resources in seawater and reduction in the environmental risks of uraniferous wastewater from nuclear industries. For most filtering adsorbents, repeated filtration, high membrane thickness, and high pressure are normally essential to achieve both a high rejection ratio and high filtration flux. Herein cellulose fibrils were preferentially exfoliated from the lignin-poor layer of secondary cell walls of balsa wood during an in situ amidoximation process. By maintaining honeycomb-like cellular microstructures and cellulose aerogel stuffing in their cell tracheids, the resultant nanowoods showed superior mechanical properties (e.g., compressive strength ∼1.3 MPa in transverse direction) with large surface areas (∼80 m2 g-1). When their cell tracheids were aligned perpendicular to the flow and the edges sealed with a thermoset polymer, they could serve as efficient and high-pressure filtration membranes to capture aquatic uranium ions. In analogy to a typical cascading filtration system, the filtrate passed successively the layered-organized cell tracheids through abundant micropores on their cell walls, enabling a high rejection ratio of >99% and flux of ∼920 L m-2 h-1 under pressure up to 6 bar (membrane thickness of 2 mm). Thus, this study not only provides an in situ approach to producing robust woods with functional nanocellulose encapsulated into their cell tracheids but also offers a sustainable route for high-efficiency extraction of aqueous uranium.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as a broad-spectrum germicide in environmental remediation applications, is hindered by mild toxicity to organisms during water sterilization. To solve this dilemma, this work provided an eco-benign approach to utilize maize stalk with natural labyrinthine-channel configuration simultaneously acting as microbe trap and bactericide carrier to arouse bactericidal response of ZnO NPs. The preparation comprises in-situ growing ZnO NPs, accompanied by nanoscale delignification, leading to formed carbohydrate complex retaining the intricately porous structure of the stalk. Assembled by maize-stalk carbohydrate (MSC) composites with 9 short composites in serial, the elimination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) reached up 6.7 and 4.8 orders of magnitude, respectively. Labyrinth-framework MSC provided favorable sites for fusiform flower-like ZnO NPs to strongly adsorb (adsorption energy 5.5-11.7 eV) phosphoryl-involved biomacromolecules of bacterial envelops, causing generation of stable Zn-P and Zn-O(H), then cell incompleteness, cellular redox imbalance and DNA damage. Breakthrough analysis exposed the MSC/ZnO-filter possessing remarkable features of antibacterial exhaustion rate (~ 1.06 g/L) and capacity (~ 9.6 × 109 CFU/g) which were comparable with Ag-based composites. As evaluated by the logistic and Gompertz models, the filters effectively sterilized 0.97-10 L of environmental waters to meet the requirements of drinking water.

Abstract
Frequent oil-spill accidents have posed serious threats to ecosystem balance and the efficiency of resources use. Hydrophobic adsorbents that can adsorb and recover oil without causing secondary pollution are ideal candidates for the remediation of oil contamination in water. However, these composites are inefficient for crude oil-spills cleanup because crude oil has low liquidity of at room temperature. Increasing the temperature can effectively enhance the flowability of crude oil. To achieve efficient crude-oil heating and removal in situ, wood aerogels were immersed in Ti3C2Tx suspensions and then coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to obtain a solar-heated adsorbent (PT-WA). The prepared PT-WA exhibits super-hydrophobicity (water contact angle: 154° ± 2°), mechanical robustness (withstanding 20 loading-unloading cycles under 50% strain without structural damage), strong solar absorption, and favorable photothermal-conversion capability (rising to ~85 °C within 90 s under 1.5 sun). Owing to these advantages, PT-WA is an effective adsorbent for crude oil cleanup. In addition, a 'self-heating crude oil collector' was assembled for the fast adsorption and restoration of crude oil from the water surface. This solar-assisted self-heating sorbent offers a competitive platform for the cleanup and recycling of viscous crude oil spills.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has drawn forth advanced materials and progressive techniques concentrating on sustainable development. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have aroused vast interest resulting from their excellent property in structure and function. Conversely, powdery MOFs in highly crystalline follow with fragility, poor processability and recoverability. Aerogels distinguished by the unique three-dimensional (3D) interconnected pore structures with high porosity and accessible surface area are promising carriers for MOFs. Given these, combining MOFs with aerogels at molecule level to obtain advanced composites is excepted to further enhance their performance with higher practicability. Herein, we focus on the latest studies on the MOFs@aerogel composites. The construction of MOFs@aerogel with different synthetic routes and drying methods are discussed. To explore the connection between structure and performance, pore structure engineering and quantitation of MOFs content are outlined. Furthermore, various types of MOFs@aerogel composites and their carbonized derivatives are reviewed, as well as the applications of MOFs@aerogel for environmental remediation referring to water purification and air clearing. More importantly, outlooks towards these emerging advanced composites have been presented from the perspective of practical application and future development.

Abstract
Eco-friendly materials with superior thermal insulation and mechanical properties are desirable for improved energy- and space-efficiency in buildings. Cellulose aerogels with structural anisotropy could fulfill these requirements, but complex processing and high energy demand are challenges for scaling up. Here we propose a scalable, nonadditive, top-down fabrication of strong anisotropic aerogels directly from wood with excellent, near isotropic thermal insulation functions. The aerogel was obtained through cell wall dissolution and controlled precipitation in lumen, using an ionic liquid (IL) mixture comprising DMSO and a guanidinium phosphorus-based IL [MTBD][MMP]. The wood aerogel shows a unique structure with lumen filled with nanofibrils network. In situ formation of a cellulosic nanofibril network in the lumen results in specific surface areas up to 280 m2/g and high yield strengths >1.2 MPa. The highly mesoporous structure (average pore diameter ∼20 nm) of freeze-dried wood aerogels leads to low thermal conductivities in both the radial (0.037 W/mK) and axial (0.057 W/mK) directions, showing great potential as scalable thermal insulators. This synthesis route is energy efficient with high nanostructural controllability. The unique nanostructure and rare combination of strength and thermal properties set the material apart from comparable bottom-up aerogels. This nonadditive synthesis approach is believed to contribute significantly toward large-scale design and structure control of biobased aerogels.
