<i>Shola</i>: a 3D porous hydrophobic–oleophilic lignocellulosic material for efficient oil/water separation
Shola , a natural shrub abundant in Bengal (India), has been used for centuries to make decorative crafts for social and religious ceremonies. It was found to be a highly porous and lightweight material composed of predominantly amorphous cellulose and a useful sorbent for removing oil from water.
