Article Abstract
An innovative two-step ammonium persulfate (APS) process for corncob was proposed, utilizing the acidity of APS to produce xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and its oxidizing capability to generate carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (cCNCs). Treatment with 0.5 % APS at 150 °C for 90 min resulted in a maximum XOS yield of 40.86 %. Direct oxidation of pretreated solid residue with 2 M APS at 60 °C for 16 h led to a low cCNCs yield. However, mild alkaline incubation prior to APS oxidation (1 M, 60 °C, 16 h) effectively removed lignin, increasing the cCNCs yield to 38.30 g/100 g cellulose in untreated corncob with an enhanced cCNCs yield of 35.24 %. Detailed characterization of the cCNCs showed excellent performance. Mass balance results indicated that 1000 g of corncob produced 123.48 g of XOS, and 136.16 g of cCNCs. Thus, this study presents a case for the development and utilization of acidic oxidants.

Ionic gel-based wearable electronic devices with robust sensing performance have gained extensive attention. However, the development of mechanical robustness, high conductivity, and customizable bio-based ionic gel for multifunctional wearable sensors still is a challenge. Herein, we first report the preparation of 3D printed cellulose derived ionic conductive elastomers (ICEs) with high mechanical toughness, high conductivity, and excellent environment stability through one-step photo-polymerization of polymerizable deep eutectic solvents.

The preparation of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (cCNCs) and their stabilization in oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions hold great potential for application and research value. In this work, a novel integrated oxidation strategy was proposed to prepare needle-like cCNCs by sodium periodate (NaIO)/Fenton (SF-cCNCs) with considerable yield (58.58 %), plentiful carboxyl groups (1.

For the first time, this study demonstrates a direct extraction of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (c-CNCs) from recycled medium density fiberboard (r-MDF) fibers by ammonium persulfate (APS) without any chemical pre-treatment. The aim of this research was to find an optimum condition for isolating c-CNCs from r-MDF fibers by studying the effect of reaction parameters on the characteristics of c-CNCs. The rod-like c-CNCs had an average length and width of 170 to 365 nm and 13 to 17 nm, leading to an aspect ratio of 13∼21.
