ABSTRACT
Dehydration of a cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/water dispersion requires large amounts of energy and time due to the high hydrophilicities and high specific surface areas of the CNFs. Various dehydration methods have been proposed for CNF/water dispersions; however, an efficient dehydration method for individually dispersed CNFs is needed. Here, electrodeposition of CNFs was evaluated as a dehydration method. Electrodeposition at a DC voltage of 10 V on a 0.2 wt% CNF/water dispersion resulted in a concentration of ∼1.58 wt% in 1 h. The dehydration energy efficiency was ∼300 times greater than that of dehydration by evaporation. The concentrated CNF hydrogels recovered after electrodeposition were redispersed with a simple neutralization process, and clear transparent films were obtained by drying after redispersion. This work provides a new method for dehydration and reuse of individually dispersed CNF/water dispersions and provides new insights into control of the hierarchical structures of CNFs by electrodeposition.
