Highly porous, lightweight versatile cellulose materials were prepared via dissolution–coagulation and subsequent various drying routes. Cellulose was dissolved in ionic liquid/DMSO mixture and coagulation was performed in ethanol. The as prepared wet precursors were used to make materials with thre...
