A combination of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and natural wood presents a sustainable approach toward a smart home due to the wood’s biodegradability, low cost, and abundant resource. Major challenges for achieving a cellulose-based TENG are the brittleness, low crystallinity, and low surface charge density. We demonstrated a facile method to process and modify natural wood to satisfy application requirements. The treated wood has both good flexibility and tensile mechanical properties. After pressing, its crystallinity also saw a big increase, with the figure almost tripled. A further surface modification was inspired by dyeing technology. The cellulose on the surface of wood was cationically modified by 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) via the solution-immersion method. After modification, the surface potential increased two times compared to that of the unmodified one. Density functional theory was used to calculate the absorption energy between cellulose molecules and CHPTAC to further verify the feasibility of the chemical modification. Larger differences between the two tribo-layers in terms of the energy level produce a high electrostatic charge flow. The modified pressed wood-based TENG can generate a peak current of 9.74 μA, a voltage of 335 V, and a transferred charge density of 71.45 μC/m2 through contact electrification. A concept of a self-powered and sensing smart floor integrated with this modified cellulose-based TENG was further developed to provide real-time motion monitoring for a smart home. This work not only removes the wood brittleness but also puts forward a novel method to improve the wood surface charge density from an interdisciplinary perspective, which is crucial to facilitate the application of natural wood in the nanogenerator area.

In this route, it can be found the products have a high yield about 48 % and form a specific porous networks assembled by graphene flake. The product sample like CGA-2, characteristic of a specific area about 1426.11 m 2 /g and total pore volume about 1.02 cm 3 /g, exhibits a remarkable performance for removing cationic dye like methylene blue (MB) in water. Of which the maximal MB adsorption capacity can be found about 610.85 mg/g in a neutral solution and 1.2 g/g in a basic solution. Under the condition of initial MB concentration of 100 mg/L and pH of 7.0, the adsorption equilibrium can be achieved on CGA-2 in 10 min, with MB removal ratio about 99 %. In the MB adsorption on CGA-2, the isotherm fits Langmuir model with correlation coefficient of 0.9905, and the kinetics follows pseudo-second-order model with correlation coefficient of 0.9999.

Kaolinite , a natural, abundant, low cost, and eco-friendly material, has been widely used as filler, additives, adsorbent and coatings. In the study, kaolinite was evaluated for the performance of the hydrolysis of cellulose in water. The effects of mass ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time and water amount were investigated in a batch reactor. The fresh and regenerated catalysts were characterized by XRD , FT-IR and TG-DTG. The catalytic results showed that the highest TRS yield of 38.8% was obtained on the kaolinite at 200 °C with the mass ratio of catalyst to cellulose of 0.2 for 3 h. Moreover, kaolinite was a stable catalyst after regeneration and the yield of TRS decreased from 38.8% to 38.1% after five times reuse. Kaolinite contains abundant surface Al-OH groups, and the high TRS yield for kaolinite should be attributed to the H + ions released from the surface OH groups. This work provides a promising strategy for efficient cellulose hydrolysis into fine chemicals by natural clay minerals.

To overcome the natural recalcitrance of cellulose for glucose production in aqueous media catalyzed by enzyme, in this study, a dissolution pretreatment strategy was developed by using in situ formed CO 2 -based reversible ionic compounds (RICs)/DMSO mixed organic electrolytes under mild conditions. The influences of the constitution of RICs, CO 2 pressure, dissolution pretreatment time on the physic-chemical structure of cellulose were investigated systematically by FTIR, XRD, SEM, AFM towards in-depth understanding of the correlations between the pretreatment conditions, micro-scale structure and enzymatic saccharification of cellulose. The results showed that the tetramethyl guanidine (TMG) based RICs solvent system [TMGH] 2 + [O 2 COCH 2 CH 2 OCO 2 ] 2− /DMSO (X RICs = 0.1, X RICs : the mole fraction of the formed RICs in the mixture) presented the best performance, which was evidenced by 100% glucose yield after the dissolution-regeneration pretreatment strategy under mild conditions (T = 60 °C, Pco 2 = 2.0 MPa, t = 2 h). Furthermore, the solvent system have good recyclability and usability.

The hierarchical zeolite (ZC) was synthesized by using electrospinning cellulose microfibers (ECM) with three-dimensional network structure as a hard template. The textual and structural properties of the prepared materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and TG-DSC. In terms of adsorption properties, the performance was examined by adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on the conventional zeolite (ZA) and ZC. The results showed that ECM templating could significantly increase the mesoporous area and volume of the traditional microporous zeolite, and thus improve the mass transfer performance and adsorption capacity. ZC exhibited much faster and higher MB removal performance than the traditional zeolite with adsorption rate constant and maximum adsorption capacity of ZC approximately 20 and 1.2 times greater than that of ZA. Besides, ZC exhibited better resistance to interfering ions than ZA. Moreover, ZC could be conveniently regenerated by washing with NaCl and the MB adsorption capacity was almost constant in five cycles of the regeneration. These features enable ZC to be an effective and promising adsorbent to remove MB from water.

Cellulose, which is one of the main components of wood biomass, was carbonized and activated by KOH to prepare a hierarchical porous carbon. This biomass derived carbon was successfully utilized as an effective sensor’s material for simultaneously determine hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) through cyclic voltammetry and amperometry techniques. The resulting sensor exhibited wide linear ranges for HQ (0.5–3000 μmol/L) and CC (1–3000 μmol/L), with the detection limits of HQ (0.47 μmol/L) and CC (0.4 μmol/L) by amperometry technique, respectively. In addition, the prepared sensor also possesses good performances including specific selectivity, long lifetime and good applicability. The practical application in domestic lake water samples with satisfied recoveries implies the proposed sensor is promising. These results demonstrate that cellulose containing biomass have potential as an effective precursor of porous carbon materials and are applicable on various electrochemical sensors.

Cellulose aerogels (CA) were widely used in the adsorption field due to high porosity, ultra-light quality, high-proportioned surface area. This article used a 3D La-CA-based adsorbent to improve wastewater eutrophication. Filter paper as cellulose source was applied and lanthanum was doped. Batch adsorption experiments showed that the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity could reach 54.377 mg g −1 (pH = 3.0). At the same time, the leaching of the lanthanum of the adsorbent was negligible, which proves good stability. In particular, the 3D La-CA presented an overall cylindrical monolith and would be easily separated from water compared with the powdery adsorbent. The adsorption performance of La-CA was not significantly affected by the competitive ions (F − , SO 4 2− , Cl − , NO 3 − ) and could still maintain 84.8% after 5 cycles. And mechanism analysis suggested that the 3D La-CA had a specific affinity with phosphates, through electrostatic attraction and inner-sphere complexation. In general, these 3D La-doped cellulose aerogels would provide new possibilities for the practical application of adsorbents in phosphate adsorption.

Kaolinite is a layered silicate material with a Janus character and has been directly used as the solid catalyst for the hydrolysis of cellulose in our previous work. Reducing sugar (RS) is one of the most important intermediates for the utilization of cellulose. In the present study, metal ions dispersed on kaolinite was easily prepared and further evaluated for the hydrolysis of cellulose to RS in water. The metal ions dispersed kaolinite was characterized by XRD, BET, SEM(EDS), and XPS. The catalytic results showed that copper was the best co-catalyst among the tested metal ions and the kaolinite treated with 4(wt)% copper nitrate by calcination at 623 K showed the highest total reducing sugar (TRS) yield of 51% under 478 K with the mass ratio of catalyst to cellulose of 0.2 and weight ratio of water to cellulose of 7 for 3 h. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily regenerated by calcination and the yield of TRS on the regenerated catalyst decreased from 51 to 43.2% after four times reuse. The characterization results revealed that copper was highly dispersed on the outer SiO 4 tetrahedral layer. The surface cuprous species were the active sites and could make the C-O bond cleavage easily by attacking the positively charged carbon atoms of the β-(1,4)-glycosidic linkage in the cellulose. The leaching of the cuprous species was responsible for the deactivation of the catalyst. The copper dispersed kaolinite is the efficient catalyst for the hydrolysis cellulose to reducing sugars and worth further development. Graphical abstract

The metal-organic framework MIL-100(Fe) is a novel humidity-regulating material, but it has poor water vapour desorption performance. To address this issue, MIL-100(Fe) was modified using 20% lithium chloride (LiCl), forming stable coordination bonds through ion-dipole interactions. These bonds attract water molecules, enhancing the adsorption capacity and improving the structural stability of the material. After modification, its moisture capacity was increased by 2.42 times, and the desorption amount was increased by 7.22 times, with an overall improvement in moisture adsorption–desorption equilibrium. However, the use of inorganic salts presents a leakage problem in high-humidity environments. To counter this, a 3% ethyl cellulose (EC) coating was applied to the modified MIL-100(Fe). Through surface interactions, this modification improved the material's adsorption performance in non-polar environments, preventing deliquescence in long-term high-humidity conditions. The hydrophobic angle of the modified composite material reached 93°, making the surface hydrophobic. The moisture capacity of the composite material was 1.83 times that of the pure MOF, and the desorption amount was increased by 5.2 times, significantly enhancing the material's environmental humidity regulation performance. Additionally, the material demonstrated good reusability, extending its lifespan, making it suitable for use as an intelligent humidity control material in construction.

Diabetic periodontitis, characterized by persistent inflammation and impaired periodontal tissue regeneration under hyperglycemic conditions, urgently requires innovative therapeutic strategies. Microneedle (MN) technique has recently emerged as a promising solution for diabetic periodontitis by enabling minimally invasive and localized drug delivery. In this study, we developed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based MNs reinforced with PLA-grafted tunicate cellulose nanocrystals (TCNC-g-PLA@PLA-MNs), demonstrating favorable mechanical strength and biocompatibility. After loading with irisin and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) via surface polydopamine functionalization, the MNs exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by markedly reducing the expressions of IL-6 by 0.53-fold, IL-8 by 0.23-fold, and MCP-1 by 0.41-fold in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). Additionally, they significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation, increasing the expressions of ALP by 1.87-fold, OPN by 2.21-fold, OCN by 1.39-fold, and Runx2 by 2.28-fold, which was further supported by enhanced ALP staining. Furthermore, the MNs improved the migration ability of hPDLCs under inflammatory and high-glucose culture conditions. Our findings highlight that the TCNC-g-PLA@PLA-MNs effectively integrate structural reinforcement and therapeutic functionality, providing a novel and potential platform to promote periodontal regeneration in the context of diabetic periodontitis.

Deep eutectic hydrogels (DES hydrogels), fabricated from deep eutectic solvents (DES), offer superior stability and applicability compared to traditional polymer-based hydrogels. However, most DES hydrogels exhibit substantial hysteresis during stretching and low electrical conductivity due to the viscous nature of the solvents. This study presents an effective approach to enhance DES hydrogel performance. By anchoring flexible chains at various scales and using water as a lubricant, we obtained a eutectic hydrogel with high conductivity, low hysteresis, frost resistance and long service life. Testing demonstrated a 2.28-fold increase in conductivity (1.28 S/m), a 2.5-fold increase in tensile strength, and 1363 % elongation at break. Furthermore, the hydrogel retained excellent flexibility and tensile strength after 60 days at room temperature in an open-air environment. This demonstrates the DES hydrogel's significant potential for flexible sensor applications. This research provides a viable strategy for preparing high-performance DES hydrogels.

Cellulose-based triboelectric materials present eco-friendly advantages but suffer from restricted electron transfer and humidity-induced charge loss due to inherent hydrogen-bond networks. Herein, a multi-network composite aerogel was fabricated using multi-scale entangled cellulose and regenerated chitosan fibers as a framework. Molecular-level chemical crosslinking, ionic complexation, and hydrogen bonding were integrated with freeze-induced structuring, solvent exchange, rapid desolvation, and ambient drying. The multi-crosslinked network delivers exceptional mechanical robustness (0.37 MPa stress at 50% strain), resilience, and moisture stability (intact structure after 40-day immersion). The aerogel-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) demonstrated high triboelectric outputs (205.8 V, 581.16 mW/m 2 ), fatigue resistance (5000 cycles), humidity responsiveness (70–90% RH), broad humidity adaptability (40–90% RH), wet-environment durability (6800 cycles at 80% RH), and reversible humidity cycling, alongside stable acoustic/electrical signal recognition. The aerogel exhibited recyclability and biodegradability. This work establishes a green manufacturing paradigm for biomass aerogels, bridging sustainable materials engineering with self-powered environmental sensing technologies.
