Circular, scalable, multifunctional wood aerogel 

Aerogels are attractive in various applications ranging from aerospace to energy storage due to low density and high specific surface area. Mainstream strategy to obtain lignocellulosic aerogels is bottom-up approach, disintegrating wood into nano building blocks (e.g. nanocellulose) followed by reassembling into aerogels. The complex and/or energy intensive processing are challenges. Top-down approach is an […]

Wood modification towards hierarchical catalyst

Electrocatalytic reaction is a green technology for sustainable energy conversion, materials design, environment remediation, and green chemistry, where the role of catalyst is essential. Hierarchical structures combining multi-scale pores are favorable due to combined high specific surface area, mass diffusion in the structure and accessibility to the surface. In nature, biological materials are much more
