In this study, Eichhornia crassipes (EC) was exposed to Chemical modification using citric acid to enhancement adsorption capacity and form Modified Nano Cellulose Crystalline (MNCC) powders and comparison study was performed to remove two different dyes as Reactive blue 21 (RB21) and Crystal violet (CV). Characterization of MNCC was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Dynamic Light Scatting (DLS) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and results, prove that MNCC is in Nano scale and has crystalline structure as well as ester form. Examine parameters such as adsorbent dose (0.1-1.00 g/40 mL), initial pH (1-10), contact time (5-120 min) and initial concentration dyes (5-10 ppm). Among the three isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin), the equilibrium adsorption confirmed and fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model. Kinetic study showed agreement the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Intraparticle diffusion model.

A magnetic-biopolymer composite of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), designated as FeO@CMC, was synthesized featuring remarkable stability and an active surface with a green biosynthetic method. This composite was engineered to serve as a substrate for stabilizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with enhanced functional properties. The catalytic efficacy of the nanocatalyst, incorporating Ag NPs at concentrations of 3%, 7%, and 10%, was evaluated for the reduction of the toxic compound 4-nitrophenol to the beneficial 4-aminophenol.

Radiative cooling is an emerging zero-energy-consumption technology for human body cooling in outdoor scenarios during hot seasons. However, existing radiative cooling textiles are limited by low intrinsic cooling power, high hydrophobicity, and heat-insulating properties, which seriously impede a satisfying cooling effect, perspiration-wicking, and heat dissipation, thus limiting human thermal comfort in practical situations. Here, we developed a radiative cooling meta-fabric that was integrated with high perspiration-wicking and thermal conduction capacity.

Selenium deficiency associated with a high risk of many diseases remains a global challenge. Owing to the narrow margin between "nutrition-toxicity" doses of selenium, it is imperative to achieve accurate selenium supplement. Nano‑selenium (SeNPs) is a novel form of selenium supplement with low toxicity, but it could be trapped and removed by intestinal mucus, thus limiting its oral delivery.

The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represents a significant challenge due to the complexity of the wound microenvironment. Several factors, including infection, inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis, can complicate the healing process and reduce the effectiveness of current clinical treatments. To address these challenges, this work develops a multifunctional sponge containing a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/bacterial cellulose (ZIF-8/BC) matrix loaded with the antioxidant naringin (Nar).
