Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Enhancing Zn Deposition Reversibility on MXene Current Collectors by Forming ZnF2‐Containing Solid‐Electrolyte Interphase for Anode‐Free Zinc Metal Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of electrolyte additives on Zn plating behavior on intercalative‐type 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene current collectors in anode‐free AZMBs. The co‐addition of Li‐salt and PC generates a ZnF2‐containing hybrid SEI layer that promotes homogeneous Zn deposition, achieving an average Coulombic efficiency of 96.8% for Zn plating ...

3D‐Printed Crosslinked Nanocellulose‐MXene Hydrogels and Aerogels with High Strength and Conductivity

Small, EarlyView.
This study presents a robust strategy for 3D printing conductive, mechanically resilient MXene–CNF composite structures using a single‐step freeze‐induced crosslinking method. The printed architectures remain stable in both wet and dry states, exhibit high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, and demonstrate practical application in fully ...

Biomass Polymer‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Salts in Cellulose Foams for Durable Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We fabricate a LiCl+CMC@cellulose composite foam via a scalable impregnation process, enabling excellent AWH water capture‐release cycling stability. The CMC acts as a “molecular glue,” effectively mitigating salt aggregation and leakage. The composite foam delivers a high water uptake of 16.04 ± 0.82 g g−1 with >80% retention over 10 cycles, while a ...

Advances in cholesterol and lipoproteins detection for healthcare: A review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is one of the main biomarkers related to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Its detection still relies on traditional methods of analysis, such as gas and liquid chromatographies. Detection of free cholesterol in saliva with redox or enzymatic sensors or detection of lipoproteins in blood with aptamer sensors are currently the most
