Nanowood: A Simple Approach to a Complex Nanomaterial

Nanowood: A Simple Approach to a Complex Nanomaterial

3 March, 2025
The UCC TRANSLATE team has developed nanowood, a natural nanofluidic membrane created by removing lignin from wood using household bleach. This simple yet effective process produces well-aligned nanochannels that exhibit key nanofluidic properties, such as ion-selective transport. Nanowood offers a sustainable, low-cost platform for studying nanofluidics, making nanoscale research more accessible. Its potential applications range from energy harvesting to filtration and sensing.
