Huayu Liu,Haishun Du,Ting Zheng,Kun Liu,Xingxiang Ji,Ting Xu,Xinyu Zhang,Chuanling Si,Chuanling Si +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of cellulose-based composite foams and aerogels for energy storage devices is presented, and the current challenges and future prospects of these materials are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose–silica aerogels
TL;DR: Composite aerogels based on interpenetrated cellulose-silica networks were prepared and characterised and revealed an almost threefold increase in pores specific surface area, from cellulose aerogel alone to organic-inorganic composite.
