Abstract

To prepare a novel wood-based material, wood powder without any pre-treatment was dissolved in ionic liquid. With a circulated freezing-thawing procedure and critical point drying method, lignocellulose aerogel was successfully prepared. Morphological features and crystalline characteristics of the as-prepared material were characterized by field emission electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the prepared lignocellulose aerogel possesses a three-dimensional structure of open fibrillar network and other novel nanostructure cellulose materials. The structure of the aerogels can be tuned from nanofibrillar to sheet-like skeletons with hierarchical micro- and nanoscale morphology by modifying the freezethaw cycles. The crystallinity first increased and then decreased along with increase of the freezing-thawing times. The formation mechanism of the lignocellulose aerogel was also discussed in this paper.

Key words： lignocellulose aerogel; ionic liquid; three-dimensional network
