Silk Micro/Nanofibril Aerogels Reinforced with Waste-Wool-Derived Keratin for Solar-Assisted Viscous Oil Recovery and Water-in-Oil Emulsion Separation
Sustainable porous materials that integrate renewable feedstocks, solar-assisted operation, reusability, and degradability are desirable for viscous oil recovery. Herein, silk micro/nanofibril-keratin photothermal aerogels (SWTB) were fabricated by deep eutectic solvent-assisted exfoliation, protein-based assembly, d...
