Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on Earth, and its outstanding qualities as biodegradable nature make it a perfect substitute for petroleum-based polymers. A challenge in the ...

At the heart of the biofuel production challenge is cellulose—a dense, crystalline structure made of glucose that is incredibly hard to deconstruct.

The cellulose fibers can be converted into cellulose nanofibers (CNF) or crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) after mechanical or chemical treatments. As a novel ... These crystal structures are extremely ...

To overcome this challenge, a pyrolyzed cellulose nanofiber paper (CNP) semiconductor with a 3D network structure is proposed. Its nano–micro–macro trans-scale structural design is achieved by a ...
