Abstract

The cellulose composite aerogels that were both high porosity and strong mechanical performance would have promising implications for bioengineering field; however, creating this aerogels had a challenge to choose compatible fortifier. Here we reported lignin as a reinforcement element to synthesis the cellulose composite aerogels with strong mechanical performance. Our approach-straightforwardly dissolved in ionic liquids and simply regenerated in the deionized water-causes assembly of micro-and nanoscale and even molecule level of cellulose and lignin. The resulting aerogels exhibited a strong mechanical performance. The successful synthesis of this aerogels developed a path for lignin to an advanced utilization.
