“…50 Biocarbon/biochar is usually produced by the carbonization of wood, energy crops, agricultural and forest residues, and municipal, industrial, and food wastes, predominantly by pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization processes. [51][52][53] Pyrolysis is exactly the same strategy mentioned in the case of thermal and acetylene black preparation conducted in the absence of oxygen, and the only difference is in the solid biomass used as the feedstock. Based on the heating rate of carbonization, there are two types of pyrolysis, namely, slow (10 °C min −1 ) and fast (100-1000 °C s −1 ) pyrolysis.…”

“…Plants remain the main source of cellulose production, attributed to their abundance and low cost. Generally, all plants are eligible for the extraction of nanocellulose, including hardwood (e.g., eucalyptus, aspen, balsa, oak, elm, maple, birch, rubberwood) [42,47], softwood (e.g., pine, spruce, juniper, hemlock, yew, larch, cedar) [42], natural fibers (cotton, jute, bamboo, kenaf [48,49], roselle [50]), industrial and agricultural waste (e.g., corn husk, sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, sawdust, eucalyptus pulp, oil palm empty fruit bunch, potato peels, grasses) [51][52][53][54], and algae [55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Among all these sources, agro-industrial biomass has shown a remarkably high potential to be extracted as nanocellulose.…”

“…Nanocellulose's strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction and high surface energy caused it to aggregate in a variety of environments, according to research. Therefore, nanocellulose's surface characteristics and interfacial compatibility are critical to its functionalization and practical application [61,[128][129][130]. There are several reviews on the surface modification of nanocellulose to improve interfacial compatibility that have been published so far [131,132].…”

Nanocellulose has emerged in recent years as one of the most notable green materials available due to its numerous appealing factors, including its non-toxic nature, biodegradability, high aspect ratio, superior mechanical capabilities, remarkable optical properties, anisotropic shape, high mechanical strength, excellent biocompatibility and tailorable surface chemistry. It is proving to be a promising material in a range of applications pertinent to the material engineering to biomedical applications. In this review, recent advances in the preparation, modification, and emerging application of nanocellulose, especially cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are described and discussed based on the analysis of the latest investigations. This review presents an overview of general concepts in nanocellulose-based nanocomposites for sustainable applications. Beginning with a brief introduction of cellulose, nanocellulose sources, structural characteristics and the extraction process for those new to the area, we go on to more in-depth content. Following that, the research on techniques used to modify the surface properties of nanocellulose by functionalizing surface hydroxyl groups to impart desirable hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance, as well as their characteristics and functionalization strategies, were explained. The usage of nanocellulose in nanocomposites in versatile fields, as well as novel and foreseen markets of nanocellulose products, are also discussed. Finally, the difficulties, challenges and prospects of materials based on nanocellulose are then discussed in the last section for readers searching for future high-end eco-friendly functional materials.

Chemical sensors are a rapidly developing technology that has received much attention in diverse industries such as military, medicine, environmental surveillance, automotive power and mobility, food manufacturing, infrastructure construction, product packaging and many more. The mass production of low-cost devices and components for use as chemical sensors is a major driving force for improvements in each of these industries. Recently, studies have found that using renewable and eco-friendly materials would be advantageous for both manufacturers and consumers. Thus, nanotechnology has led to the investigation of nanocellulose, an emerging and desirable bio-material for use as a chemical sensor. The inherent properties of nanocellulose, its high tensile strength, large specific surface area and good porous structure have many advantages in its use as a composite material for chemical sensors, intended to decrease response time by minimizing barriers to mass transport between an analyte and the immobilized indicator in the sensor. Besides which, the piezoelectric effect from aligned fibers in nanocellulose composites is beneficial for application in chemical sensors. Therefore, this review presents a discussion on recent progress and achievements made in the area of nanocellulose composites for chemical sensing applications. Important aspects regarding the preparation of nanocellulose composites using different functionalization with other compounds are also critically discussed in this review.
