“…This is because they are not restricted by distribution and content of fossil fuels, without exhaust greenhouse gases and environmental-unfriendly procedures. In addition, energy-saving appliances and industrial energy-saving equipment are promoted to reduce fossil fuel consumption. − However, considerable amounts of energy are consumed in the maintenance of the temperature of empty space and inanimate objects inside the building for using thermal management equipment. Human body heat loss has three forms: heat convection, heat conduction, and heat radiation.…”

Controllable and reliable fabrication of wearable materials with tunable structures and integrated functionalities is urgently required for personal thermal management. Here, MnO2 nanowires@Ag/cellulose laminated membranes with infrared insulation, antibacterial, and unidirectional liquid penetration properties assembled were fabricated by hydrophobic cellulose, hydrophilic cellulose, and ultralong MnO2 nanowires@Ag in vacuum filtration and magnetron sputtering methods. The results indicated that nanosilver coating with high infrared radiation reflectivity and excellent electrical conductivity was successfully fabricated onto MnO2 nanowire surfaces, resulting in infrared insulation properties of the laminated cellulose membranes. In addition, the laminated membranes exhibit unidirectional liquid penetration properties that can enhance the wearing comfort. In antibacterial tests against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, the high antibacterial activity is revealed. These results indicate the promising potential of the laminated cellulose membranes for tackling personal thermal management issues related to wearable applications.

In the view of sustainable development and environment protection, degradable agricultural lms with ondemand thermal insulation properties have attracted growing research interest in the last few decades due to the deteriorating environment and extreme climate on the growth and existence of crops. Here, a general strategy has been developed to fabricate degradable silver nanowires modi ed cellulose (AgNWs/cellulose) hybrid lm with controllable thermal insulation and antibacterial properties by using plant cellulose and AgNWs as building blocks, as well as their agriculture application. The results showed that the AgNWs were evenly dispersed in the three-dimensional grid of cellulose, formed a lm that could withstand a certain tensile force, and have good thermal stability. Due to the excellent electrical conductivity, the AgNWs/cellulose hybrid lms can provide excellent Joule heating, generating rapid thermal response and uniform electrical heating at a low supply voltage of 3 V for extra warmth. In the antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the AgNWs/cellulose hybrid lm exhibit large diameters of inhibition zones, revealing the high antibacterial activity. Additionally, the AgNWs/cellulose hybrid lms showed highly stretchable behavior by delivering a breaking strain of 1.5% with a tensile stress of 0.45 MPa owing to the cross-linked structures of cellulose and AgNWs. Based on the above properties, this study not only provides a potential strategy for the fabrication of exible and biodegradable agricultural lms but also may provide new insights for agricultural thermal management.
