Cellulose ionogels have been extensively studied due to the variability of their properties and applications. The capability of trapping an ionic liquid in a biodegradable solid matrix without losing its properties makes this type of material a promising substitute for fossil fuel-derived materials. The possibility to formulate ionogels chemically or physically, to choose between different ionic liquids, cellulose types, and the possibility to add a wide range of additives, make these ionogels an adaptable material that can be modified for each target application in many fields such as medicine, energy storage, electrochemistry, etc. The aim of this review is to show its versatility and to provide a summary picture of the advances in the field of cellulose ionogels formulation (chemical or physical methods), as well as their potential applications, so this review will serve as a stimulus for research on these materials in the future.

Achieving rubber-like stretchability in cellulose ionogels presents a substantial challenge due to the intrinsically extended chain configuration of cellulose. Inspired by the molecular configuration of natural rubber, we address this challenge by using cyanoethyl as a substitute for 1.5 hydroxyl on the D-glucose unit of cellulose.

Developing versatile ionoelastomers, the alternatives to hydrogels and ionogels, will boost the advancement of high-performance ionotronic devices. However, meeting the requirements of bio-derivation, high toughness, high stretchability, autonomous self-healing ability, high ionic conductivity, reprocessing, and favorable recyclability in a single ionoelastomer remains a challenging endeavor. Herein, a dynamic covalent and supramolecular design, lipoic acid (LA)-based dynamic covalent ionoelastomer (DCIE), is proposed via melt building covalent adaptive networks with hierarchically dynamic bonding (CAN-HDB), wherein lithium bonds aid in the dissociation of ions and the integration of dynamic disulfide metathesis, lithium bonds, and binary hydrogen bonds enhances the mechanical performances, self-healing capability, reprocessing, and recyclability.

Cellulose molecules, as the basic unit of biomass cellulose, have demonstrated advancements in versatile engineering and modification of cellulose toward sustainable and promising materials in our low-carbon society. However, harvesting high-quality cellulose molecules from natural cellulosic fibers (CF) remains challenging due to strong hydrogen bonds and unique crystalline structure, which limit solvents (such as ionic liquid, IL) transport and diffusion within CF, making the process energy/time-intensively. Herein, we superfast and sustainably engineer biomass fibers into high-performance cellulose molecules via ethanol pre-swelling of CF followed by IL treatment in the microwave (MW) system.

Soft ionic conductors exhibit immense potential for applications in soft ionotronics, including ionic skin, human-machine interface, and soft luminescent device. Nevertheless, the majority of ionogel-based soft ionic conductors are plagued by issues such as freezing, evaporation, liquid leakage, and inadequate self-healing capabilities, thereby constraining their usability in complex environments. In this study, we present a novel strategy for fabricating conductive ionogels through the proportionally mixing cationic guar gum (CGG), water, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl)/glycerol eutectic-based ionic liquid, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/lignosulfonate (PEDOT/LS).
