What is Nanocellulose?

‍
Nanocellulose comprises cellulose nanofibrils and nanocrystals derived from renewable sources like wood and algae. Known for its high strength, barrier properties, and sustainability, it offers a green alternative to conventional materials.

Structure and Properties

‍
Nanocellulose features tightly packed polymer chains, forming semicrystalline nanoparticles with a high aspect ratio. Its surface hydroxyl groups facilitate interaction with water and enable various chemical modifications. These properties make nanocellulose ideal for creating strong, transparent, and dense films.

Tailored Applications

‍
Cellfion leverages nanocellulose's versatility to develop cutting-edge, bio-based membranes for electrochemical applications. These membranes can be chemically tailored for specific ion selectivity, making them perfect for batteries, fuel cells, and water purification systems.

Industrial Potential

‍
Nanocellulose-based membranes are being explored for grid-scale energy storage in flow batteries, mobile energy storage solutions, and efficient water purification technologies. Cellfion's sustainable, PFAS-free cellulose membranes offer a scalable and adaptable alternative to traditional materials.
