ranging from filaments [2] and films [3] to porous aerogels and foams. [4,5] Among the latter, cellulosic foams represent green options with potential for nontoxic thermal insulation, [6] catalytic environmental remediation, [7,8] and lightweight materials, [5] among others. Although cellulose provides robust porous scaffolds, its intrinsic chemical inertness restricts applications unless it is modified with entities holding specific functionalities (e.g., magnetism, conductivity). On that note, CNFs have been chemically modified, [9,10] composited with polymers [11,12] or nanomaterials, [6] used as a template for the growth of functional nanoparticles, [13] and more recently coassembled with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). [14] Such efforts have enhanced their processing and uses; [1] however, most of the classical challenges related to generic nanohybridization also apply to cellulosic materials, a subject that remains poorly developed in the case of CNF. In cellulose constructs, cellulose-cellulose interactions are superior to other noncovalent interactions. Therefore, modifying cellulose or adding a secondary phase typically reduces the structural cohesion. Furthermore, incorporating a functionality within a nanocellulose network often leads to uneven distribution, aggregation, and phase separation. Meanwhile, Metal-phenolic network (MPN) foams are prepared using colloidal suspensions of tannin-containing cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) that are ice-templated and thawed in ethanolic media in the presence of metal nitrates. The MPN facilitates the formation of solid foams by air drying, given the strength and self-supporting nature of the obtained tannin-cellulose nanohybrid structures. The porous characteristics and (dry and wet) compression strength of the foams are rationalized by the development of secondary, cohesive metalphenolic layers combined with a hydrogen bonding network involving the CNF. The shrinkage of the MPN foams is as low as 6% for samples prepared with 2.5-10% tannic acid (or condensed tannin at 2.5%) with respect to CNF content. The strength of the MPN foams reaches a maximum at 10% tannic acid (using Fe (III) ions), equivalent to a compressive strength 70% higher than that produced with tannin-free CNF foams. Overall, a straightforward framework is introduced to synthesize MPN foams whose physical and mechanical properties are tailored by the presence of tannins as well as the metal ion species that enable the metal-phenolic networking. Depending on the metal ion, the foams are amenable to modification according to the desired application.
