We report the fabrication of self-organized surfactant nanofibers containing platinum ions on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface from mixed solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (C16TAOH) and hydrogen hexachloroplatinate (IV) (H2PtCl6). The fibrous surfactant self-assembly was stable in air, even after being soaked in water, in contrast to surfactant hemicylindrical micelles, which are stable only at graphite/solution interfaces. The results show that the graphite surface served as an essential template for the specific formation of fibrous surfactant self-assemblies. In addition, when surfactant nanofibers containing metal ions were treated with hydrazine, platinum nanoparticles concentrated in the nanofibers formed on the HOPG surface. We also prepared surfactant nanofibers containing gold ions on HOPG surfaces and formed gold nanoparticles in the nanofibers.

Cellulose foams are renewable and biodegradable materials that are promising substitutes for plastic foams. However, the scale-up fabrication of cellulose foams is severely hindered by technological complexity and cost- and time-consuming drying processes. Here, we developed a facile and robust method to fabricate cellulose foams via oven-drying following surfactant-assisted mechanical foaming of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs).

Environmental issues arising from the low pesticide utilization rate make the development of environmentally friendly and low-cost pesticide carrier systems an urgent problem to be solved. Pickering emulsion systems have shown broad application prospects in pesticide delivery. In this study, dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) was used to hydrophobically modify cellulose nanofiber (D-CNF), and biomimetic flower-like zinc oxide (ZnO) particles were prepared by precipitation method at room temperature.

This study introduces a novel, sustainable method for synthesizing sub-5 nm palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) and covalently binding them to chitosan nanofibers (CHITs) using fully oxidized dialdehyde cellulose (DAC). Notably, the DAC acts not only as a reducing and stabilizing agent for PdNPs, but also as a linker for their rapid and spontaneous covalent attachment to CHITs via Schiff base chemistry. This unique approach yields PdNPs with a narrow size distribution (4.

A diverse range of surfactants and chelating agents are frequently used in industrial processes, especially in the decontamination of nuclear facilities for decommissioning. To treat and degrade these organic pollutants, electrooxidation (EO) has emerged as a cost-effective method. Along these lines, in this work, a nanofibrous electrode was constructed to facilitate efficient EO.
