The performance of high-rate batteries is primarily constrained
by inefficient ion transport across the separator/electrolyte interface.
Commercial polyolefin separators depend on passive microporous diffusion
and are unable to actively guide Li + migration pathways,
leading to concentration polarization, dendritic growth, and fast
capacity decay. Herein, we present a hierarchical cooperative transport
strategy that enables active guidance and directed migration of Li + through the construction of a multihub, cross-scale “ionic
highway”. In this strategy, metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs) and carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (C–CNC) are
integrated to exert a synergistic effect, leading to the design and
fabrication of a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based electrospun composite
separator (PCUS). Nanoscale MOFs serve as the primary pathways for
selective PF 6 – adsorption and facilitate
Li + solvation-shell regulation, thereby accelerating overall
ion migration kinetics. Concurrently, abundant carboxyl groups on
C–CNC serve as auxiliary hopping sites, lowering ion transport
activation energy. Combined with the separator’s inherent microporosity,
these components establish hierarchical conduction paths from the
nano- to microscale, significantly enhancing overall transport efficiency.
The separator demonstrates a high ionic conductivity of 2.664 mS cm –1 and a Li + transference number of 0.81.
Assembled into Li|PCUS|LiFePO 4 cells, it delivers 120.3
mAh g –1 at 5C, retaining 98.1% capacity over 300
cycles. NCM811|PCUS|Graphite full cell achieves a capacity retention
of 95.9% at 1C/150 cycles. In addition, PCUS shows excellent dendrite
suppression, enabling stable lithium deposition for over 2000 h at
0.2 mA cm –2 . This work offers a rational design
paradigm to address ion transport limitations and a sustainable route
toward high-safety, long-lifespan energy storage.

Cellulose-based composites typically have poor water resistance because they are cross-linked through non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds. Herein, furan group was grafted onto sisal microcrystalline cellulose fiber (F-MSF) and a dynamic thermally reversible cross-linked network structure was formed with maleimide modified CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (D-CCTO) to obtain recyclable D-CCTO/F-MSF composites (DFF) through the Diels-Alder reaction. The results showed that the mechanical properties of DFF composites were improved due to the improvement of the cross-linked structure between D-CCTO and F-MSF. At 1 wt% D-CCTO content, the tensile strength of DFF was 5.53 MPa, which increased by 346% compared with that of pure MSF. At 5 wt% D-CCTO content, the short-circuit current, open circuit voltage, transferred charge of DFF-based triboelectric nanogenerators (DF-TENG) were 3.2 µA, 85 V and 26 nC, respectively. Additionally, the DF-TENG was able to maintain its electrical performance of more than 60% at an ambient humidity of 90% and was able to light up more than 30 LED bulbs. This research provides new insights into addressing the challenge of poor water resistance in conventional cellulose-based composites, while also designing a recyclable TENG device that can harvest energy in high humidity environments.

In recent years, the safety of public health has attracted more and more attention. In order to avoid the spread of bacteria and reduce the diseases caused by their invasion of the human body, novel filtration and antibacterial materials have attracted more and more attention. In this work, the antibacterial agents silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and cetylpyridine bromide (CPB) were introduced into a cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiber film by electrospinning technology to prepare CA-based composite films with good antibacterial and filtration properties. The results of the antibacterial test of the composite nanofiber films showed that AgNPs and CPB had synergistic antibacterial effects and exhibited good antibacterial properties against a variety of bacteria. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity, skin irritation and skin sensitization experiments proved that the CA/AgNPs, CA/CPB and CA/CPB/AgNPs films produced no skin irritation or sensitization in the short term. These are expected to become potential materials for the preparation of new antibacterial masks. This work provides a new idea for developing materials with good antibacterial properties for enhancing protection via filtration masks.

Traditional halogenated flame retardants (FRs) have been severely hindered because they are toxic and hazardous carcinogenic byproducts during their application. In this study, we present a biobased FR composite consisting of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) modified with melamine (MEL) and phytic acid (PA) through successive grafting and electrostatic adsorption processes. It was found that the CNC/MEL/PA nanocomposite had a noticeable highly improved thermal blocking performance of the cellulose nanofibril aerogel, excellent carbon layer formation, and high thermal insulation ability because of a synergistic FR effect between the components in both the condensed and gas phases. These findings highlight the potential of nanoscale engineering in producing structural foams with excellent fire-retardant properties using cellulose and other nanosized fibrous biomaterials.

Biomass fibers are recognized as degradable and renewable green natural polymer materials. However, research on biomass fiber-based lithium battery separators is still relatively limited. Here, a kind of cellulose diacetate-based composite separator for lithium batteries was investigated via electrostatic spinning technology. In this study, M-CDA/PEO/BM composite separators were obtained by modifying fiber-based nonwovens through deacetylation , followed by an infiltration process and thermal cross-linking reaction to introduce boehmite (BM) and polyethylene oxide (PEO). Wherein the infiltrating solution is composed of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE), polyetheramine (DPPG), and boehmite particles. The results demonstrate that this nanofibre composite separator exhibits good heat tolerance (no shrinkage at 200 °C), excellent wettability (contact angles only 15.1°), and high ionic conductivity (2.83 mS cm −1 ) in electrolytes. Additionally, the cells utilizing the composite separator exhibited superior cycle performance and better multiplier performance (170 mAh·g −1 at 0.5C) compared to the polypropylene separator that is currently available in the market, under identical circumstances. This renewable composite possesses remarkable properties that position it as a highly promising option for lithium-ion battery separators with exceptional performance.

Two different aromatic monomers, naphthalene and benzothiophene, were ingeniously selected to prepare a solid acid with thiophene groups, which can selectively convert cellulose into glucose. The content of thiophene groups in the solid acids was regulated by adjusting the proportion of aromatic monomers. The effect of thiophene groups on physico-chemical structures and catalytic activity of solid acids was discussed. The experiment results indicate that the sulfur content in solid acids was up to 19.57 wt%. The introduction of thiophene groups increased –SO 3 H group density and adsorption capacity by 30.99 % and 64.36 %, respectively. These positive changes result in excellent catalytic activity of solid acids. The cellulose conversion rate and glucose selectivity reached 78.9 % and 97.1 % respectively at 150 °C and 7 h.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is recognized as an excellent stretchable substrate in wearable electronics, due to its desirable properties such as tensile properties, transparency, thermal stability, non-toxicity, and good biocompatibility. However, its limited fracture toughness and susceptibility to cracking significantly reduce the material's overall durability. In this study, the solution casting method was applied to prepare the nanofibers composites combined stretchable PDMS and aligned electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) to improve its mechanical properties and keep its transparency. The results showed that composites containing 3 wt% loadings of electrospun CA nanofibers exhibited a light transmittance exceeding 85% within the visible light range.

Solar steam generation (SSG) is an extremely promising desalination technology that meets the global demand for clean water. Herein, we report a facile and effective method that utilizes absorbed heat to evaporate limited water while minimize heat loss. The top layer is a hydrophilic photothermal layer that allows for uniform distribution of water on the photothermal layer, whereas the bottom layer is a hydrophobic insulating layer that provides excellent insulation and heat preservation. Water is supplied by dripping from the top to thoroughly avoid heat loss caused by contact between the photothermal layer and water body.

This study investigates the cellulase immobilization onto zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) to enable efficient cellulose hydrolysis at high solids loading. Different ZIF carriers (ZIF-8, ZIF-8-NH 2 , Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8, and Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8-NH 2 ) were prepared and characterized. The resulting ZIF-immobilized cellulases were subsequently analyzed for their loading capacity and enzyme activity , as well as their biochemical properties such as temperature stability, pH stability, storage stability, enzyme leaching, and enzyme kinetics . Results revealed that the cellulase immobilized on Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8-NH 2 exhibited an exceptional loading capacity of 359.89 mg/g and a relative enzyme activity of 69.39%. Remarkably, at a solid loading of 15% (w/w) and an enzyme dosage of 5 FPU/g cellulose, the Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8-NH 2 immobilized cellulase demonstrated a 20.44% higher hydrolysis yield compared to the free cellulase. Furthermore, this immobilized enzyme system displayed robust reusability, retaining 71.03% of its initial activity even after 10 cycles of reuse. A proposed mechanism of enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis by ZIF-immobilized cellulases was also presented. These findings have significant implications for the future application of ZIF-immobilized cellulases in efficient and cost-effective lignocellulosic bioconversion .

The development of highly efficient and environmentally friendly solvents for dissolving cellulose, which is the most abundant natural polymer on Earth, remains a challenge, hindering its full utilization. Herein, a green protic ionic liquid, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium methoxyacetate ([TMGH][MAA]), was found to exhibit attractive capacity to dissolve natural cellulose with an appropriate TMG/MAA molar ratio of 7 : 3 at 80 °C. The solubility of cotton linter and ultra-high molecular weight cotton fibers reached 13% (w/w) and 3% (w/w), respectively, surpassing that of most solvent systems currently used for the dissolution of cellulose. The experimental and simulation results verified that the excellent dissolution ability of [TMGH][MAA] for cellulose is mainly attributed to the destruction of the intrinsic hydrogen-bond networks in cellulose by the synergistic interactions of the [TMGH] cations and [MAA] anions with the hydroxyl groups in the cellulose chains, acting as highly efficient “intermolecular scissors”. The superiority of this novel dissolution system was further demonstrated by the remarkable comprehensive properties of the regenerated cellulose film including satisfactory thermostability, high transparency, and excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, the satisfactory recovery performance of this solvent highlights its significant feasibility for large-scale industrial manufacturing. The proposed [TMGH][MAA] in this study exhibits great potential as a next-generation processing solvent for dissolving, and thus processing cellulose, promoting the sustainable development of high-value-added cellulose materials.

As a green and economical energy, nuclear power plays a significant role in the global energy supply. Uranium extraction from seawater is a highly promising strategy to utilize unconventional uranium resources and ensure the sustainability of the nuclear industry. However, the current uranium absorbents still suffer from long extraction time, low adsorption capacity, and poor selectivity. In this study, an amidoxime-functionalized cellulose nanofibers/MXene aerogel (MCA) with a three-dimensional porous structure was fabricated for efficient uranium extraction from seawater through electro-/physicochemical adsorption processes. The abundant porous structures and functional groups endowed the MCA with a high adsorption capacity of 515.46 mg/g in the physicochemical adsorption process. Furthermore, the MCA adsorbed 13.82 mg/g of uranium from natural seawater after 28 days with a superior selectivity for uranyl ions. Encouragingly, the uranium extraction performance was significantly boosted via the assistance of an electric field. By applying a voltage of 1.0 V, the MCA presented an improved extraction capacity of 1826.38 mg/g and accelerated adsorption kinetic. Meanwhile, the MCA electrode possessed good stability and high reusability of 84.30% after five adsorption–desorption cycles, which insured that MCA was a promising uranium adsorbent in long-term application. This work offers a universal paradigm for the design of highly efficient electro-adsorbents and also expands the scope of external field enhancement in the area of uranium extraction.

Excessive bleeding is the leading cause of death in accidents and operations. Ca 2+ crosslinked carboxyl nanocellulose (CN)/montmorillonite (MMT) composite (CaCNMMT) sponges were prepared by uniform mixing and directional freeze-drying methods which was inspired by the coordination mechanism of blood clot formation and coagulation cascade activation in natural hemostasis process. Carboxyl nanocellulose (CaCN) sponge has instantaneous water absorption capacity, and CaCNMMT sponges could further activate clotting factors. Therefore, CaCNMMT sponges achieved quick hemostasis by efficient concentrating blood, inducing hemocyte aggregation and stimulating coagulation cascade activation based on the synergistic effects of CN and MMT. Blood clotting index of CaCNMMT (15.90 ± 0.52 %) was significantly lower than CaCN (59.3 ± 1.43 %), and APTT time (22 ± 2 s) was almost equivalent to MMT (20 ± 2 s). CaCNMMT sponge showed good quick hemostatic effect on massive hemorrhage in both tail-breaking and liver injury model which provided a new strategy for the application of MMT in hemostatic and trauma treatment fields.
