According to the World Health Organization, nearly a billion people do not have incoming to pure drinking water and much of that water is contaminated with high levels of heavy elements. In this study, adsorption of lead ions has been studied by nanocomposites which prepared through acrylic acid grafting and amino-functionalized magnetized (FM-NPs) TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TEMPO-CNF). The amino-functionalized magnetite was acting as a crosslinked. The crystallinity of TEMPO-CNF was 75 with a 4-10 nm diameter range, while the average particle size of FM-NPs was 30 nm. The adsorption studies illustrated that the elimination efficiency of lead ions was 80% by the prepared nanocomposite that includes a minimum amount of crosslinker (1%), which demonstrated that the magnetic grafted oxidized cellulose nanofiber nanocomposite is a promising green adsorbent material to eliminate heavy metal ions and is additionally easy to get rid of due to its magnetic property. The kinetics and isotherms studied found that the sorption reaction follows a pseudo-second-order model (R = 0.997) and Freundlich model (R = 0.993), respectively, this indicated that the adsorption of lead ion occurs within the pores and via the functional groups present on the nanocomposite.

The development of flexible, intelligent, and lightweight optoelectronic devices based on flexible transparent conductive electrodes (FTCEs) utilizing silver nanowires (AgNWs) has garnered increasing attention. However, achieving low surface resistance, strong adhesion to the flexible substrate, low surface roughness, and green degradability remains a challenge. Here, a composite electrode combining natural polymer cellulose nanofibers (TCNFs) with AgNWs was prepared.

The application of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as cryoprotectants in frozen foods has rarely been explored. In this study, the cryoprotective effect of CNF (2, 4 and 6 % w/w) on mechanically separated chicken meat (MSCM) surimi-like material was investigated, during frozen storage (5 and 60 days) under temperature fluctuation. Surimi-like without cryopreservation agents was more susceptible to protein oxidation due to ice recrystallization.

This study aims to explore the redispersibility of dehydrated nanocellulose with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) fractionated lignin as an eco-friendly and cost-effective capping agent, to cope with the challenge of irreversible agglomeration and thus loss of nanoscale of nanocellulose upon dehydration. The intermixing of nanocellulose and p-TsOH fractionated lignin was achieved using an aqueous ethanol solution as the medium and films of lignin-blending cellulose nanofibers (L + CNF) with excellent redispersing properties were obtained after facile air-drying.

This study aimed to develop eco-friendly multifunctional nanocellulose (NC) hybrid films with tailored properties for versatile applications including packaging and photovoltaics. Hybrid films composed by cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were produced at various mass ratio (CNC - 100:0 to 0:100). Montmorillonite clay (MTM) was incorporated (50 % by mass) into the CNC:CNF films.

The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) has attracted attention in recent years, particularly in the field of wearable sensor. In this work, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) with carboxylate groups were compounded with MXene to serve as both the negative friction layer and the electrode in assembling a TENG with nylon. The synergistic effect between TOCNF and MXene was analyzed to disclose its influence on the performance of the as-prepared TENG.
