Industrial wastewater, particularly from textile, paper, and dye industries, often contains methylene blue (MB), a hazardous synthetic dye and causes health hazards. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), especially when modified with polydopamine (PDA), offer a sustainable and efficient adsorbent due to their high surface are...
Marine organisms such as diatoms and sponges fabricate hierarchically ordered siliceous architectures with nanoscale precision under benign conditions. Inspired by these biological strategies, biomimetic approaches have been developed to synthesize chiral silica-based materials under mild conditions. Here, we employe...
