“…As aforementioned, this is a result of a reduced pore size due to the random packing of cylinders with smaller diameters. size of BC nanopapers is explained by the larger diameter of the BC fibrils [37] thus leading to larger pore sizes as outlined above. For CNC, BET was also performed to have an alternative measure of the pore dimensions, but repeatedly did not give any reliable results.…”

Cellulose is a natural biopolymer that is abundantly available in plant cell walls and is secreted in its pure forms by many bacteria. Due to their unique features cellulose materials are considered as efficient replacements for conventional polymers. Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) have attracted wide interest due to their nano size, ease of preparation, low cost, tuneable surface properties and enhanced mechanical properties. However, the efficiency of CNF depends on the extraction method employed from its source and their features vary from source to source. Hence, there is a need to understand the specificity of CNF extraction from its source in order to obtain highly efficient CNF with maximum potential. CNF has been extracted from plant sources using physical, chemical and enzymatic methods. Although plant derived CNF possess excellent features, the involvement of chemicals and complexity in extraction process limits their usage. Bacterial CNF overcome this limitation through its extracellular secretion which makes extraction easy. CNF is also extracted from various marine filamentous algae. The percentage of CNF obtained from algal sources is less compared to plants and bacterial sources. CNF finds wide variety of applications such as drug carriers, tissue regenerating scaffolds, water purifying Ms. Mridula Prakash Menon is presently working as a PhD Research Scholar in the Nanobiotechnology laboratory at PSG Institute of Advanced Studies, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.

“…It is highlighted that advances in nanocellulose usage take advantage of their colloid, rigidity, high aspect ratio, cylindrical shape, nanoscale dimensions, chiral ordering, interfacial behavior, morphology, light weight, and assembly properties. [18,19] The highly crystalline NCC provides a rigid surface with tunable functional groups available for grafting and modification. Typical NCC shows no cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.…”

In this review, a recent prospect on application of nanocellulose in energy application has been highlighted. To achieve high capacities that are essential for effective extraction of interesting ions and for faster charging and discharging in the energy storage devices, nanocellulose in the conducting matrix must obviously assist the dual purpose of mechanically improving and reinforcing the specific charge capacity. The abundant number of nanocellulose hydroxyl groups on the surface favors the formation of hydrogen bonding in an ordered structure and lead to it having high strength and stiffness properties at low density. This brought up the idea of utilizing nanocellulose as a reinforcement and energy adsorption agent originating from the possibility of exploiting the high strength and stiffness of cellulose crystals in composite applications.
