Nanocellulose is used to prepare flexible electrodes of lithium batteries
Electronic devices are rapidly developing towards lightweight, miniaturization, environmental protection and integration. To solve the practical application needs of smart communications, mobile medical care and other fields, an energy supply system that matches it is urgently needed. Therefore, it is particularly important for wearable and smart electronic devices to develop and utilize flexible multifunctional lithium-ion batteries. Nanocellulose can be combined with other lithium host components as a flexible substrate in anode/cathode composite. Table 2 summarizes and compares the electrochemical properties and strategies of various nanocellulose-based flexible lithium-ion battery electrode composites.

Nanocellulose is used to prepare flexible electrolyte membranes for supercapacitors
Because nanocellulose has good mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, fine nanostructure and high porosity, it is widely used as the separator/electrolyte of supercapacitors. Lee et al. reported a nanoporous cellulose separator with a bilayer nanostructure and high porosity. In this work, the top layer is a nanoporous thin pad of tripyridine functionalized CNF and the support layer is a thick macroporous pad of electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone/polyacrylonitrile. The unique porous bilayered/asymmetric structure balances ion transport rate and leakage current. The cycling performance of the device assembled with this unique nanocellulose-based separator has been substantially improved. Wu and colleagues reported a flexible cellulose-based hydrogel film with layered porosity and a double crosslinked structure. Inside the membrane, cellulose and polyacrylamide (PAM) are cross-linked by PDA. By adjusting the dopamine/acrylamide ratio, it was found that the key factors affecting the mechanical properties of the hydrogel were

Nanocellulose is used to prepare lithium-sulfur flexible batteries
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much attention because of their high theoretical volume energy density (2800 Wh L-1) and gravity energy density (2500 Wh kg-1) and their capacity far exceeds that of traditional lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, the development of high-performance flexible lithium-sulfur batteries can better meet the needs of future flexible wearable electronic devices. In addition, elemental sulfur has outstanding characteristics such as abundant resources and low price, making lithium sulfur batteries an attractive EES. First, during the electrochemical cycle, the volume change of sulfur particles will lead to structural changes of the active material, thereby reducing capacity. Secondly, insulating sulfur and Li2S will slow down the electrochemical kinetics. Third, polysulfides are easily dissolved in the electrolyte, resulting in 'shuttle phenomenon'. To solve these problems, various attempts have been made in the design and preparation of new electrodes, electrolytes and separators. 1. Flexible electrodes can integrate nanocellulose and active materials

Nanocellulose is used to prepare flexible electrolyte membranes for lithium batteries
The diaphragm of the LIB is located between the anode and the cathode. It prevents short circuits from the anode and cathode from contact. The electrolyte acts as an electrolyte reservoir and forms a lithium ion transport channel during the charging/discharging process. Due to the excellent mechanical and thermal properties of nanocellulose-based paper/film materials, they have been used in lithium batteries to improve power density, energy density, safety and cycle life by affecting battery dynamics, by influencing battery dynamics. . Recently, Sun et al. introduced ZIF8 into the CNF system through in-situ synthesis to improve the pore structure of the composite separator. The introduction of ZIF8 prevents the aggregation of CNF and makes the pore distribution more uniform. The ZIF8-CNF composite separator not only provides the advantages of an environmentally friendly CNF, but also exhibits excellent thermal stability (thermal stability up to 200 °C). These composite membranes have faster wetting speed and better surface wetting.
