Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1600004, W. Chen and co‐workers describe the preparation of sustainable carbon aerogels from wood nanofibrillated cellulose. The carbon aerogels demonstrate high capacities for the absorption of different oils and organic solvents. Under extreme conditions, these carbon aerogels still demonstrate a superior absorption performance. Further, a device based on a composite sponge with carbon sheets (generated via the disintegration of carbon aerogels) on the surface is successfully fabricated to materialize the large‐scale and continuous separation of containments from water.
