Cellulose is a significant widespread sustainable resource on earth. With the development of nanotechnology, the interest of cellulose scientists has moved to the separation of nanocellulose from many plants and their application in technical applications. The promising properties of nanocellulose and related products are driving rapid progress in nanocellulose chemistry and engineering. In fact, nanocelluloses integrate cellulose's essential features with the exceptional properties of nanoscale materials. This paper summarizes modern knowledge in nanocellulose research and development. The methods for synthesizing nanocellulose and its functionalization procedures will be discussed after an introduction to the chemical structure and microfibrillar organization of nanocellulose in cellulose bundles with other components. Finally, the usage of nanocellulose for pollutant detection will be discussed.
