Abstract
Multifunctional hybrid materials based on nanocellulose have gradually emerged as a substitute for petroleum-based materials. In this chapter, we briefly present the latest technology in this field, including processing, functional properties, and areas of application. For example, the combination of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with different types of organic or inorganic nanoparticles enables the study and analysis of multifunctional nanohybrids with important scientific and industrial applications and opens new horizons in materials science. In particular, technical analysis, including supercapacitors, solar cells and batteries, separation technology, and wastewater treatment, catalysis.
