Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were extracted from OPF and mixed with CS in varying mass ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) before undergoing freeze-drying and carbonization at temperatures of 300 °C. The resulting carbon aerogels (CAn) were further functionalized with AgNWs (CAn-x) using a dip-coating technique. The CAn-x samples were observed low density (< 0.0318 g/cm3), high porosity (> 92%), specific surface areas (> 43 m<sup>2</sup>/g), selectivity for oils and superhydrophobicity (WCA > 176<sup>◦</sup>). In addition, the CAn-x exhibited absorption capacity for marine fuel oil (MFO), palm oil (PO), and high-speed diesel oil (HSD) ranged from 20 to 76 g/g with reusable until 26 times, influenced by the aerogel’s pore structure. The CS improved the aerogel’s structural integrity, enhancing reusability over multiple absorption-desorption cycles. AgNWs loading imparted strong antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria (<i>E. coli</i> and <i>S. typhi</i>), as demonstrated by the agar diffusion method. The results suggest that CA-AgNWs composites exhibit excellent oil absorption performance, selectivity, and reusability, along with broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. These findings highlight the potential of OPF-derived carbon aerogels as multifunctional materials for environmental and medical applications.

Comprehensive characterization revealed that the hybrid architecture simultaneously enhances thermal insulation and acoustic performance. Microstructural analysis confirmed a dual bonding mechanism-bridging and interpenetration-between MF trident-like skeletons and UGF, forming tortuous micropores (2–25 μm). Optimal thermal insulation was achieved with M3G7 (30.83 mW/m·K), leveraging synergistic hindrance from organic–inorganic heat transfer mismatches and suppressed convection in narrowed pores.
