With growing environmental and ecological concerns, the development of new functional materials from nanocellulose has become of great public value. This collection brings together a selection of outstanding reviews, perspectives, research articles, and communications, collectively providing a panoramic view of the field’s current advances. The contribution ranges from sourcing, synthesis, characterization, and surface modification of nanocellulose and nanocellulose composites to their environmental applications, including water purification, environmental remediation, CO2, capture, PFAS removal, filtration, membrane technology, and heavy metal ion removal and recovery. We invite submissions encompassing, but not limited to, the following topics:
Manuscripts should be submitted via our . Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for the themed collection in response to the open call.
