    A new method that uses nitrogen-rich biomass to produce N-doped carbon aerogel has been developed by our team. In conventional technology, N-doped carbon aerogels are produced through a two-step method including the preparation of carbon framework followed by nitriding with ammonia at high temperature. The carbon framework is typically prepared by using a template such…

    We have devised a cheap and green method to convert coir fiber into compressible and ultralight cellulose aerogel. We published our findings in Cellulose (read and share here). Aerogels are highly porous materials with very low thermal conductivity and very high absorption capacity, and among one of the lightest materials known. In the present study,…
