1. Overview of Nanocellulose Nanocellulose is a new green polymer material obtained by nanoscale dissociation treatment using natural cellulose as raw material. It not only has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, and large specific surface area, but also has environmentally friendly characteristics such as renewability, biocompatibility and degradability, and has become an important research direction for sustainable high-performance materials. Compared with traditional micro-scale cellulose, nanocellulose has performed better in transparency, mechanical properties, suspension stability, etc., and is widely used in many fields such as high-performance materials, biomedicine, food packaging, electronic devices, etc. Among them, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are the most widely studied category and are usually prepared by acid hydrolysis. The process is mature and easy to control, and has become one of the key process routes in laboratory and industrial research. 2. Principle of acid hydrolysis method Natural cellulose consists of highly ordered crystallization regions and disordered
