Smart ultra-stable foams stabilized by cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-based gels were fabricated. The stabilization is ascribed to the dense films and three-dimensional networks at the interface and in the bulk induced by the charge shielding effect and electrostatic attraction between protonated bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oleylamine (BOA–H⁺) micelles and negatively charged CNC colloids. The as-prepared foam could maintain its morphology without breaking or drainage for two months, showing high stability. Outstanding CO₂/N₂ reversibility endows the system with on-demand control of foaming/defoaming, which is necessary in many aspects. The functionalized foam is expected to open up an opportunity for the design of intelligent oilfield chemicals and extinguishant systems.
