Abstract

Cellulose-based aerogels, sourced from abundant and biodegradable waste materials such as woody pulp and medical residues,

have emerged as promising green adsorbents for CO2.

Recent advancements in nanoscale modifications, particularly

through amine and aminosilanes, grafted with varying chain lengths, have significantly enhanced the CO2

capture capacity

and selectivity. This review comprehensively explores synthesis, morphological characterization, and performance of the

eco-friendly aerogels, highlighting their potential in scalable carbon capture technologies. The review serves recent breakthroughs

in nitrogen-functionalized cellulose materials, innovative fabrication techniques, and their environmental benefits.

Future prospects for improving sorbent efficiency and integrating these materials into sustainable industrial applications are

also outlined, underscoring their role in advancing a circular bioeconomy and combating climate change.
