“…These characteristics favor its use in fuel cells, or more specifically, in the gas diffusion layer of the polymer electrolyte fuel cell. Miyajima et al (2016) used a BC-based fiber to produce carbon paper. First, metal ions were impregnated in the BC gel, and then it was dried and carbonized to obtain the carbon paper.…”

“…Apart from routine paper production processes, there has been a revolution in the development of BC-based electronic papers with novel characteristics through different techniques. Recently, Miyajima et al (2016) developed electrically conductive bacterial cellulose-based carbon paper. Furthermore, they have also proposed this newly developed bacterial cellulosebased carbon paper as a binder-less porous carbon electrode for electrochemical applications following its electrochemical characterization via cyclic voltammetry.…”

In recent decades, worldwide economic and environmental issues have prompted research scientists to re-direct their interests to bio-based resources, which are sustainable in nature. In this context, microbial polysaccharides, such as bacterial cellulose (BC), also known as microbial cellulose (MC), are some of the upcoming and emergent resources and have potential application in various bio- and non-bio-based sectors of the modern world. Many researchers have already established novel BC/MC production methods, and many new studies have been published on lab-scale and large-scale production aspects of BC/MC to date. To further expand the novel use of this sustainable source, significant progress toward the development of BC/MC has appeared in recent years. Specifically, there have been many publications and/or research reports on the valorization of BC/MC in the food, paper, materials, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries, among others. This review will address the novel application aspects of BC/MC today, with the aim of demonstrating the importance of this sustainable and novel source in the development of value-added products.

“…Decoration with variousk inds of materials,s uch as carbon,p olymers, or metal/metal compound nanoparticles, onto the skeleton of CBC might give rise to diversef unctionalities or effect synergistically improved performances that CBC or the pristine nanoparticles cannot realize. Generally,t wo main approaches have been used to synthesize theseC BCbased flexible composites:i ns itu growth of nanoparticles on the nanofibers of CBC, [115,116] or direct reactionw ith the framework of the CBC or BC under certain conditions. [117,118] We reported the preparation of an N-dopedc arbon nanofibers (NDCN) film by ISP and pyrolysis, using BC as both template and precursor.…”
