“…Based on our previous study, the PSA analysis showed the two major distributions at 88.79 nm and 356.40 nm. 14 The first dominated peak showed that the most distributed particle has a percentage of particle distribution of 82.9% and the minor distribution is 17.1%, respectively. The minor distribution appeared due to the hydrophilic features of the NC and it can swell easily in water as a dispersed medium.…”

“…The solution can also disrupt the crystallinity zone of MCC and lower the crystallinity of NC. 14 A low crystallinity level of NC leads to an improvement in the compatibility and easiness to combine with the other materials. 18 The XRD patterns of NC and MCC are shown in Fig.…”

“…Nanocellulose (NC) was achieved by the regenerated method, as described in our previous research. 14 Initially, 5 g of MCC was mixed into a 100 mL solution of 7 wt% (w/w) NaOH and 12 wt% (w/w) CH 4 N 2 O. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then stored in a freezer for 16 h. The product was stirred at 1000 rpm for 10 min and poured into 1000 mL distilled water.…”

“… 13 According to our previous study, the NC membrane possessed a proton conductivity of 5.32 mS cm −1 and a selectivity of 0.56 × 10 4 S cm −3 , which is higher than that of the pristine cellulose. 14 In addition, CNF blended into sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) can decrease the methanol permeability of the membrane to 4.45 × 10 −7 cm 2 s −1 . The small particle from NC also supports the membrane to form a homogenous surface structure.…”

“…One method for preparing cellulose nanofiber membranes via phase inversion is to use an ionic liquid as the antifouling solvent [ 60 ]. The recent development of a novel nanocellulose composite membrane via a modified version of phase inversion technique using phosphotungstic acid and imidazole as a filler has found application in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) with improved properties [ 61 ].…”

Extensive research and development in the production of nanocellulose production, a green, bio-based, and renewable biomaterial has paved the way for the development of advanced functional materials for a multitude of applications. From a membrane technology perspective, the exceptional mechanical strength, high crystallinity, tunable surface chemistry, and anti-fouling behavior of nanocellulose, manifested from its structural and nanodimensional properties are particularly attractive. Thus, an opportunity has emerged to exploit these features to develop nanocellulose-based membranes for environmental applications. This review provides insights into the prospect of nanocellulose as a matrix or as an additive to enhance membrane performance in water filtration, environmental remediation, and the development of pollutant sensors and energy devices, focusing on the most recent progress from 2017 to 2022. A brief overview of the strategies to tailor the nanocellulose surface chemistry for the effective removal of specific pollutants and nanocellulose-based membrane fabrication approaches are also presented. The major challenges and future directions associated with the environmental applications of nanocellulose-based membranes are put into perspective, with primary emphasis on advanced multifunctional membranes.

The application of biomass-derived renewable materials has generated great interest in recent research works. Among many such biopolymers, nanocellulose has become the leading topic in the sphere of sustainable material owing to the outstanding mechanical, chemical and thermal properties along with non-toxicity, surface functionality, ease of modification and sustainability. Nanocellulose is often considered to be a second-generation renewable resource and a better replacement for conventional petroleum-based products with or without any modifications. Even though some reviews have reported on some of the applications of nanocellulose, so far there is no comprehensive report gathering the extraction, properties, functionalization towards energy and environmental applications. This review aims to present the use of nanocellulose based materials for energy and environmental challenges. Important characteristics such as crystallinity, hydrophilicity, thermal decomposition and surface charge are described as a function of the targeted applications. In the latter part of this review, we have looked into the recent studies in the area of applications such as air pollution, heavy metal sorption, dye adsorption, biosensors, EMI shielding, fuel cell, solar cell, lithium-ion batteries and biofuels etc. However, a green, sustainable and scalable nanocellulose extraction is yet to be fulfilled. In our view, the bacterial nanocellulose based approach can address all these issues with the added advantage of producing a very high purity of nanocellulose. Hence this review is intended to provide new insights into the field of ecofriendly functional materials with included in-depth perspectives about nanocellulose and its future based on the current research trends.
