nanostructured aerogels by chitosan fibrils. A new phenomenon of swelling chitosan nanofibrils
in Al3+-contained water was exploited to obtain a neutral aluminum-chitosan aqueous solutions.
Our interesting finding is that the lyophilization of the cobalt-aluminum hydroxide/chitosan

spider web-like nanofibril organization of chitosan template. This primary invention of the
neutral chitosan aqueous solution and the chitosan cottons provides a opportunity for
investigating the functionality of biopolymeric liquids and biofibers. An unprecedented
combination of high porosity, enriched spinel phase, and lightweight into the CoAl2O4 aerogels
makes them attractive as a new type of color magnetic pigments, thermal insulators, and catalyst
supports.

ABSTRACT
We present lightweight macro-mesoporous spinel CoAl2O4 nanostructured aerogels derived
from water-soluble aluminum-chitosan complexes. Chitosan nanofibrils interact with aluminum
ions to swell into hydrogels. The aluminum-induced swelling is extended to dissolve the
hydrogels in water to form a homogeneous aluminum-chitosan aqueous solution. The addition of
cobalt ions in the aluminum-chitosan liquids which are solidified by lyophilization to generate
cotton-like aerogel composites. Uniform incorporation of cobalt-aluminum hydroxide ions onto
chitosan leads nanofibrils to serve as a hierarchical template to support mixed metal hydroxides
in the aerogel composites. We investigated the thermal removal of chitosan template in the
composites to obtain spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels that truly replicate spider web-like fibrillar
networks of chitosan template. Enlarged porosity, high crystallinity, and lightweight make the
CoAl2O4 aerogels useful as a colorful nano-pigment for magnetic ceramics.
Keywords: chitosan nanofibrils, biotemplating, spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels, lightweight materials.
1. INTRODUCTION
Ceramic aerogels with lightweight and thermal characteristics are an exciting class of
highly porous materials for applied technologies [1]. These materials can be used as functional
supports and insulators [2]. The goal to obtain lightweight, macro-mesoporous materials is being
the integration of open network and low-density composition into a solid. Among different
methods, templated synthesis is an outstanding method used to construct these materials [3-5].
The structural orientation of precursors by hierarchical templates leads to the formation of
interconnected porous networks, often affording lightweight aerogel materials.
Cobalt aluminates (CoAl2O4) is an important ceramic of the normal spinel aluminate family

with aluminum in octahedral sites and cobalt in tetrahedral ones [6]. Porous CoAl2O4
nanomaterial is used as a blue pigment component for preparing colorful magnetic ceramics [7]
and catalyst supports [8]. The crystallinity, nanoscale, and porosity of alumina are the most
critical structured features to determine its reaction performance. Many examples of CoAl2O4
materials including nanocolloids [9] and powders
[10]
have been synthesized to investigate their
unique magnetic and color properties for applications. To the best of our knowledge, the scalable
fabrication of lightweight CoAl2O4 nanostructured aerogels is virtually unexplored. It is thus
vital to find new, efficient strategies for CoAl2O4 materials with these novel aerogel features for
exploring their potential uses [11, 12].
Chitosan is a deacetylated form of chitin mostly extracted from naturally abundant
crustacean shells [13]. The nanostructural hierarchy of flexible chitosan fibrils makes it a novel
substrate to develop new materials. The surface deacetylation leads chitosan fibrils to disrupt
hydrogen bonding and decreased crystallinity. The exposed surface amino groups can be easily
protonated to dissolve chitosan in acidic media and bind to metal ionic additives to form
functional complexes. These chemical properties make chitosan nanofibrils attractive for many
applications in different fields, dependent on the ways to design their structural forms [14].
It is of great interest to exploit the aqueous solubility and complexity of chitosan
nanofibrils for the material synthesis. Previous studies have shown that chitosan is a fibril
precursor for cotton fabrics [15], a matrix for photonic mineralization [16], a crosslinker for
chitin hydrogels [17], and a photonic template for responsive hydrogels [18]. However, soft
templating of tunable crystalline cobalt aluminate aerogels with water-soluble chitosan is almost
unknown.
Herein, we report a new method to produce lightweight CoAl2O4 aerogels from metal
(cobalt-aluminum)-complexed chitosan aqueous solutions. We initially experimented the
solubility of chitosan fibrils in water in the presence of cobalt-aluminum ions to form a neutral
aqueous solution. The complexity of cobalt-aluminum ions with chitosan led nanofibrils to
function as an aerogel template to recover lightweight spinel CoAl2O4 nanofibril aerogels.
2. EXPERIMENTAL
Chemicals: Crustacean shells were collected from discarded sources of the fish processing
industry of local seafood manufacturers in Vietnam. These shell sources were used as starting
materials for preparing chitin and chitosan. Chitosan obtained by hot alkali treatment of natural
chitin has a molecular weight similar to that of natural chitin (~203,1925 g/mol), due to
negligible influence of the deacetylation on biopolymer hydrolysis[19]. Metal precursor (cobalt
nitrate (Merk), aluminum nitrate (Merk)) and other chemicals (sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric
acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ethanol purchased from China) were obtained from standard
suppliers.
Materials synthesis: Preparation of cobalt-aluminum hydroxide/chitosan composites and spinel
CoAl2O4 aerogels: Chitosan nanofibers with degree of deacetylation of >90% prepared from
crustacean shells prepared by our groups (~400 mg) were added to 60 mL of deionized water
containing ~250 mg Al(NO3)3 and sonicated for 2 h and then stirred at room temperature for 48
h to generate obtain a homogeneous Al
3+
/chitosan aqueous solution. Cobalt nitrate (~133 mg)
was added to 60 mL of Al
3+
/chitosan aqueous solution followed by ~260 mg of NaOH under
stirring for 2 h to precipitate into cobalt hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, affording a highly
dispersed Co-Al hydroxide/chitosan gel aqueous mixture. This gel mixture was freeze-dried to

form Co-Al hydroxide /chitosan aerogel composites (~200 mg) on solidification. The Co-Al
hydroxide /chitosan aerogel composites (~1 g) were calcined in air 100
o
C for 2 h and then
heated to 550 °C for 6 h with a heating rate of 5 °C min
-1
to remove chitosan template and
generated ~200 mg of spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels.
Materials characterization: Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples were recorded on
an Advance Bruker D8 X-ray diffractometer. Scanning electron microscopy images of the
samples were obtained on a JSM-5300LV electron microscope. Samples were prepared by
attaching them to aluminum stubs using double-sided adhesive tape and sputter coating with Au
(8 nm). Transmission electron microscopy images of the samples were obtained on a JEOL-JEM
1010 electron microscope. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis was collected using a JEOL-6490-
JED-2000 scanning electron microscope. Thermogravimetric analyses of the samples (~10 mg)
were conducted at a heating rate of 20 °C min
-1
under oxygen atmosphere to 800 °C using a
Labsys TG/DSC-SETARAM thermogravimetric analyser. Infrared spectra were obtained on
neat samples using a IR-Prestige-21 spectrometer. Gas adsorption experiments were conducted
on a Micromeritics system. Samples (~100 mg) were degassed at 50
o
C in a vacuum for 8 h
before measurements.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We explored that chitosan nanofibrils can swell and dissolve in water in the presence of
aluminum cations to form a neutral, homogeneous solution. This aqueous solubility depends on
the amount of aluminum cation loading and the degree of surface deacetylation of chitosan and
mostly occurs towards different chitosan sources. Visibly, the chitosan nanofibrils first swelled
and then dissolved in the Al
3+
aqueous solution to form homogeneous Al
3+
-chitosan aqueous
solutions (Figure 1a). The chitosan solution is transparent and has a neutral pH of ~7. The
homogeneity of the chitosan solution was maintained at different concentrations. The
concentrated chitosan solution became viscous and then gelly by air-drying. Unlike acidic
chitosan solutions that often precipitate in basic media, the neutral chitosan maintains well its
liquid state.
Due to the potential of chitosan solution for applied biopolymer technology, many efforts
have been made to prepare chitosan aqueous solutions in the past decades. In terms of
biomedicine applications, neutral chitosan aqueous solutions favor to be compatible with bio-
systems. However, the acidic solutions are still a common form of chitosan for industrial
applications. Recent studies have reported the acetylation of chitosan to be a facile method to
obtain water-soluble fibrils [20, 21], but the chitosan aqueous solution is still slightly acidic. The
preparation of actually neutral chitosan solution is almost unknown. Our finding presents a new,
simple method for producing the neutral chitosan aqueous solution that is the first example of
chitosan fibrils soluble in water in the presence of Al
3+
. This water-soluble chitosan may be a
novel precursor to investigate the self-assembly of durable bioplastics for food packaging. The
great potential is able to use the neutral chitosan solutions as a safe protective coating agent to
fruits and vegetables [22-26].

Chitosan fibers are a form of promising cotton fabrics for practical applications in
antibacterial bandage and tissue engineering [24]. Because the concentration of chitosan in the
prepared aqueous solution is high, thus enabling to recover to solidified fibers. Very interesting,
we carried out the lyophilization of the water-soluble chitosan solutions to obtain white fibrillar
aerogels (Figure 1b). The yield of the fibrillar aerogel production is very high as ~400 mg solid
products can be obtained from 60 mL of the chitosan aqueous solution (~6.6 wt%). The aerogels
retain the shape of the pristine container with structural shrinkage. Naturally homogeneous fibers
can be visualized in the aerogels. The aerogels possess large interspaces between uniform, thin
fibrils highly distributed within open networks without any phase separation. The chitosan-based
fibril aerogels look like natural sponges, which are as soft and lightweight as cotton fabrics
(Figure 1c). The white chitosan cotton fabrics are stable in air atmosphere over the time and no
significant change in color and shape could be observed. These indicate the physical and
chemical durability of the prepared materials at ambient conditions. These visible observations
assume that this is a reliable way to produce interesting cotton fabrics from native chitosan.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the structural organization of
fibrils in the aerogels (Figure 1d). The aerogels are a highly porous fibrillar open network with
macro-scale pores that is different from the chitosan structure. The fibrils highly interconnected
with each other in all directions to form macroporous spider web-like nets through aerogels. This
suggests that the enlarged porosity and low density of chitosan led to a lightweight fibrillar

material. These results reveal that the prepared aerogels are a lightweight cotton fabric material.
Structural analyses were performed for the fibrillar aerogels. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns
(PXRD) (Figure 1e) reveal a chitosan crystal in the aerogels and no other crystal components
could be detected. The chitosan fibrils in the aerogels exhibit noticeably lower intensity than
those in the pristine chitosan sample, indicating the decrease in its crystallinity. We were
surprised to realize the presence of aluminum species in the chitosan aerogels as evidenced by
energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy (Figure 1f). The aluminum species did not diffract
by X-ray (Figure 5a), indicating the aluminum-based species in the chitosan composites is in an
amorphous form of hydroxyl substances.

The solubility of chitosan fibers in Al
3+
-contained water may be due to the complexation
between amino and hydroxyl groups of chitosan macromolecules and Al
3+
additives. This
binding interactions often lead to the disruption of hydrogen bonding between chains in fibrils
with a consequent strong decrease in crystallinity. This may be a main reason for forming the
Al-chitosan aqueous solution under such experimental conditions [27]. Since the gelation of
chitosan fibrils is mostly determined by the low degree of crystallinity. The decreased
crystallinity induced by aluminum-chitosan interactions is one of crucial factors to make
chitosan first swelling in water and then dissolving to form an aqueous solution. The chemical
complexity of chitosan with aluminum ions is possible to be occurred in such experimental
conditions as the chitosan aqueous solutions still presented aluminum after cleaning of unreacted
residues by treating with dialysis. This complexity is uniform as no phase separation in the
hybrid fibrils could be observed by SEM. The aluminum-chitosan complexes are strong to occur

aqueous dissolution of all crystalline fibrils to chitosan polymeric macromolecules. These
analyzed results confirm that the water-soluble solution contained aluminum-chitosan complexes
rather than chitosan alone. These soluble aluminum-chitosan macromolecular complexes highly
distributed in water, which was reflected from the homogeneity of solidified fibrils in the
aerogels obtained after lyophilization.

calcined spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels.
The most studies on the aerogel materials have been reported for chitin and limited
description of chitosan [28, 29]. The alkali-dissolved chitin dispersions were recently noticed as
a novel solution to prepare chitin fibril aerogels. Unlike this, it is not still easily to obtain highly
porous aerogels from the conventional acidic chitosan solutions owing to strong structural
shrinkage under freeze drying. Some other chitosan solutions have been recently prepared as
organic dissolution and acetylation, but aerogel structures from these solutions are virtually
unexplored. By inventing a new method of dissolving chitosan in the aluminum aqueous
solution, we initially present an interesting way to produce the chitosan sponges that are useful
as cotton fabrics for the design of antibacterial bandages and others.
We came up with an idea that the simultaneous incorporation of cobalt and aluminum ions
into chitosan leads the nanofibrillar network to serve as a template for fabricating spinel
CoAl2O4 aerogel replicas. In a typical synthesis, the addition of cobalt ions to the Al
3+
/chitosan
aqueous solution allowed to obtain Co-Al hydroxide/chitosan aerogels after freeze drying of the
resulting dispersions. We interestingly found that the calcination of the Co-Al
hydroxide/chitosan composites under air afforded dark blue CoAl2O4 replicas after removal of
chitosan template. The calcined products exhibit structural integrity of the aerogel morphology
as they are still a lightweight fibril material. The unique structured features of fibril uniformity,
large interspace, and cotton-like shape were originally conserved in the CoAl2O4 aerogels
(Figure 3a,b). It is worthy to realize that CoAl2O4 is a ceramic, but the CoAl2O4 aerogels
templated by chitosan are a soft material that looks like a natural fibril sponge. Infrared spectra
(Figure 2d) of Co-Al hydroxide/chitosan composites show an amide I stretch at ~1640 cm
-1
and
a carbonyl stretch at ~1025 cm
-1
of chitosan. The spectrum also shows a strong N-O stretching
band at ~1315 cm
-1
of nitrate and a sharp peak at ~830 cm
-1
of metal (Co,Al)-O vibration that are
absent in the pure chitosan. These comparative IR bands verify the prepared composites are a
mixture of chitosan and Co-Al nitrates. The disappearance of an amide II stretch at ~1560 cm
-1
in the composites may be due to bonding interactions between amino groups and mixed metal
(Co,Al) ions.

C for 6 h
under oxygen atmosphere to burn off chitosan template and crystalized mixed metal hydroxides to spinel
mixed oxide replicas.
Electron microscopy studies show that the overall aerogel morphology was preserved in the
CoAl2O4 aerogels (SEM, Figure 4). It is very interesting to know that the structural integrity of
the spider web-like networks of interconnected fibrils proceeded at nanoscale. The calcined
CoAl2O4 aerogels still have the natural shapes of micro-sized interspaces and nanofibrils as
those in the composites, but with smaller sizes by structural shrinkage. The CoAl2O4 fibrils
appear rougher surfaces likely caused by particle aggregation. The average diameter of the
CoAl2O4 fibrils is ~100 nm that is very close to that of chitosan fibrillar bundles (~200 nm in
diameter). This supports that the uniform templating of cobalt-aluminum by chitosan occurred in
the composites to replicate the fibril networks in the CoAl2O4 after template removal.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the calcined CoAl2O4 aerogels also show
nano-sized fibril features in the porous networks (Figure 3c). These observations assume that the
cobalt-aluminum ionic guests first complexed with chitosan hosts to form the fibril hybrid
composites. Under calcination, the oxidized guests agglomerated into nanoparticles and then
fused into CoAl2O4 fibrils oriented by chitosan template.
The calcined CoAl2O4 aerogels exhibits distinct diffraction peaks at 31, 37, 45, 55, 59, 65
o
(2) indexed to respective (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), (440) planes (PXRD, Figure 5a).
These diffraction signals match those of standard spinel CoAl2O4, proving that the calcined
product is spinel CoAl2O4 crystal structure [9].
The diffraction analyses confirm that the
crystalline aerogels mostly contained spinel CoAl2O4 phase and no other impurities can be
detected. The diffraction peaks are intense and broad to indicate the high degree of crystallinity
and small size of the CoAl2O4 aerogels. No diffraction signals of chitosan crystals can be
detected, further confirming the complete removal of chitosan in these CoAl2O4 aerogels.

oxygen elements in the calcined products. Elemental analyses confirm the absence of carbon
element in the calcined products compared with the presence of carbon in the chitosan-templated
composites. These results prove that the calcination of the composites simultaneously led to the
complete removal of chitosan and transformed amorphous cobalt-aluminum hydroxide species
to spinel CoAl2O4 polycrystals.

Nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm studies (Figure 5c) of the CoAl2O4 aerogels show
characteristic features of the type IV isotherm, presenting mesoporosity in macroporous
networks of the spinel CoAl2O4 crystals. The CoAl2O4 aerogels have the BET surface area of
~200 m

and pore size distribution in the range of 50-100 nm. The broad pore sizes of the
CoAl2O4 aerogels indicate macro-mesoporous ceramic structure formed after the thermal
removal of chitosan template. This porous size range is also consistent with the value evaluated
by SEM (Figure 5d). Due to the aerogels network constructed by chitosan nanofibril assemblies,
the aerogel templating creates mesopores by chitosan nanofibrils and macropores by spider-wed
networks. This analysis additionally proves that the lightweight characteristic of the spinel
CoAl2O4 pigment ceramic aerogels is due to the highly porous networks with a low density
feature.

As aforementioned, CoAl2O4 is a novel material for colorful magnetic pigments and
catalyst supports. The vast majority of studies have made to prepare CoAl2O4 materials in the
past decades [9, 11, 30, 31].
The difficulty of preparing CoAl2O4 often obtains conventional
forms of nanoparticles and micropowders with limited success of porous structures, especially
aerogels. As a result, our successful production of highly purified spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels using
the new, facile method paves a way to investigate their unique structural properties for
applications in colorful magnetic pigments, thermal insulation, and catalysis. The large space of
the CoAl2O4 aerogels was occupied by air leads to a lightweight thermal material, which has the
potential to thermal insulation. Due to the abundant availability of active catalytic sites of
aluminum and cobalt in the oxide composites, the CoAl2O4 aerogels may be a promising catalyst
support for various oxidation and reduction reactions [8]. High surface area and large porosity
can easily access secondary components to the aerogel networks to accelerate the reaction
performance of magnetic CoAl2O4-based nanocomposites [6].
Beyond the potential of the
lightweight CoAl2O4 aerogels, the cobalt-aluminum/chitosan composites may be carbonized and
selectively etched cobalt-aluminum away to prepare new nitrogen-doped carbon fibrillar
aerogels for supercapacitors.
4. CONCLUSION
We have shown for the first time the liquid templating of lightweight CoAl2O4
nanostructured aerogels by chitosan fibrils. A new phenomenon of swelling chitosan nanofibrils
in Al

makes them attractive as a new type of color magnetic pigments, thermal insulators, and catalyst
supports.
