Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) The schematic presentation of the inorganic hollow nanotube preparation process. First the nanocellulose hydrogel is dried to obtain the aerogel, which is then coated with inorganic oxides using the ALD method to form composite organic/inorganic nanofibers. Finally, the composite was calcined to inorganic hollow nanotubes. ( b ) The SEM images demonstrating the effect of different drying methods: freeze-drying by freezing the nanocellulose hydrogel in liquid nitrogen, followed by the sublimation of ice in vacuum, leads to aerogels with sheet-like aggregates; freeze-drying in liquid propane leads to fibrillar aerogels with suppressed aggregation, given the sample is sufficiently thin; supercritical-drying leads to fibrillar aerogels without aggregates, even in thick samples; drying at ambient conditions leads to the collapse of the structure. ( c ) Photographs of the aerogel samples: (1) Liquid propane freeze-dried aerogel of 2 mm thickness; (2) supercritically-dried sample with ca. 12 mm in diameter and 10 mm in height; (3) atmospherically-dried sample that completely collapsed. Wet dimensions were the same as in the supercritically-dried sample; (4) Supercritically-dried aerogel after ALD showed a slight yellow color on the surface. Reprinted with permission from .
