Metal precursorsNiCl2; first excess Ni2+ ion exchange, then NiCl2 (39 mg, 0.3 mmol)
Linker precursorsHITP.6HCl (107 mg, 0.2 mmol)
Solventswater; NiCl2 in 5 mL water, HITP.6HCl in 20 mL H2O; Ni2+-exchanged CC suspension 20 mL, 5 mg mL-1
Additivesaqueous ammonia solution (1 mL, 14 mol L-1); TEMPO oxidation used to introduce carboxyl groups on cellulose before Ni exchange
Atmosphereairflow for first 1 h at 70 C, then no airflow for another 2 h
Temperature70
Time1 h with airflow plus 2 h without airflow; dry overnight at 70 C
Substrate orientationCladophora cellulose nanofibres dispersed in aqueous suspension; vacuum filtration on 0.1 um PVDF membrane
Oxidant / reductantTEMPO oxidation pretreatment of cellulose; air/oxygen during first growth stage
Work-upvacuum filtered on PVDF membrane, washed with water and methanol, dried at 70 C overnight, peeled off from membrane
ActivationN2 sorption samples degassed at 100 C under kinetic vacuum (<10^-5 mmHg) for 10 h before measurement; no separate synthetic activation reported
Scalability contextVacuum filtration yields flexible freestanding films; SI photos show suspension, filtration, exfoliation, and dry mould pressing.
