A highly porous cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogel loaded with graphene oxide–iron(III) (GO–Fe) nanocomposites was produced and used for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The CNF aerogel serves as an adsorbent for the dye, while the GO–Fe nanocomposites play a role in the dec...
