Abstract in brief

  • The study presents a method to create mesoporous xerogels using cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) that achieve high porosity and surface area through evaporative drying, overcoming traditional scalability issues associated with aerogel production.
  • These CNF-based xerogels are strong, withstanding significant compression and tension, and also offer multiple functionalities such as light permeability, thermal insulation, and self-extinguishing flame properties.
  • Potential practical applications include lightweight, durable wall materials that provide both daylighting and insulation, making them suitable for sustainable building use.
