There is a huge risk of contamination of water bodies due to the various oil exploration,
transport, and industrial operational activities that are taking place across the world. Physical …

In this Review, we aim to provide an updated summary of the research related to hollow
micro-and nanostructures, covering both their synthesis and their applications. After a brief …

Oil sorbents play a very important part in the remediation processes of oil spills. To enhance
the oil‐sorption properties and simplify the oil‐recovery process, various advanced oil …

A simplistic synthesis approach for fabrication of ultra-light density (2.2 to 24 mg. cm− 3),
highly porous (98.4%–99.8%), and cross-linked natural cellulose aerogel from rice straw …

Oil/water separation is an important field, not only for scientific research but also for practical
applications aiming to resolve industrial oily wastewater and oil-spill pollution, as well as …

Carbon‐based functional materials hold the key for solving global challenges in the areas of
water scarcity and the energy crisis. Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene have …

In this work, we report the facile synthesis of hydrophobic, flexible, and ultralightweight
(ρsponge≤ 17.3 mg/cm3) nanocellulose sponges using a novel and efficient silylation …

As the most abundant natural polymer, cellulose presents a unique advantage for large‐
scale applications. To fully unlock its potential, the introduction of desired functional groups …

Ultra-light (1.7 to 8.1 mg cm− 3) and ultra-porous (99.5 to 99.9%) aerogels have been
assembled from cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) that were defibrillated from rice straw cellulose …

Conventional synthetic sorbents for oil spill removal are the most widely applied materials,
although they are not the optimal choices from an economic and environmental point of …
