With the increase of waste paper, environmental pollution and atmospheric impact have become global problems. The cellulose contained in waste paper has the advantages of being renewable and biodegradable and can be applied to many fields to achieve sustainable development. At present, thermal management materials, as a new type of material, have been proved to have potential advantages in environmental protection and resource conservation. Thermal management materials based on cellulose can not only recycle waste paper but also expand thermal management materials to different fields. In this experiment, the senior undergraduates cultivated the awareness of green environmental protection by extracting cellulose from waste paper and then completed the construction and performance exploration of thermal management materials under the guidance of teachers. The simple representations involved in this experiment can enable undergraduates to connect with the knowledge of analytical chemistry, polymer chemistry, and other subjects learned in the classroom and enable students to combine theory with practice. In addition, the positive feedback received from the students indicates that the experiment effectively serves as a compelling platform for teaching polymer chemistry and analytical chemistry and closely links the latest scientific research results with the laboratory experiments of undergraduate students. This work not only cultivates students' awareness of environmental protection but also stimulates their interest in advanced materials, which can be used as a springboard for them to become material scientists in the future.

“…The extraction of cellulose from agricultural, forestry, and industrial wastes has received much attention due to both economic and environmental advantages [1,[4][5][6]. Agricultural waste and industrial byproducts such as wheat straw, rice husk and straw, corn cob, sunflower shells, barley straw, sugarcane bagasse, legume straw, fruit seed shells, and others were used in recent works as sources for the production of nanocellulose, demonstrating the huge interest in this new feedstock [5][6][7][8].…”

Nanocellulose can be obtained from low-cost sources and has been extensively studied in the last decades due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, low weight, large specific surface area, and good mechanical and optical properties. The nanocellulose properties palette can be greatly expanded by incorporating different metals, metal oxides or carbon nanomaterials, with the formation of multifunctional hybrids. Nanocellulose–nanocarbon hybrids are emerging nanomaterials that can respond to many current challenges in areas such as water purification, energy storage and conversion, or biomedicine for drug delivery, tissue engineering, antitumor and antimicrobial therapies, and many others. Although nanocellulose–nanodiamonds hybrids are still in their infancy, these nanomaterials are extremely promising for applications requiring good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength along with optical transparency. A strong increase in the thermal conductivity of a nanocellulose film of about 150 times was obtained after the addition of 90 wt% single-crystal nanodiamonds and a 70% increase in the Young’s modulus of nanocellulose films was produced by the addition of 5 wt% nanodiamonds. Therefore, in this review, data related to the manufacturing routes, main properties, and applications of nanocellulose–nanodiamonds hybrids are presented and discussed. This review paves the way for new methods and procedures to obtain nanocellulose–nanodiamonds hybrids better adapted to practical needs.
