Pyrus pyrifolia fruit peel as sustainable source for spherical and porous network based nanocellulose synthesis via one-pot hydrolysis system

In the present study, we attempted revalorization of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) peel residue into high value-added nanomaterials. A green and facile one-pot isolation procedure was designed to simplify the isolation process of nanocellulose directly from pear peel residue. The one-pot approach employ...
