Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer, has good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity, which make it and its derivatives promising candidates for the fabrication of multifunctional materials, while maintaining sustainability and environmental friendliness. The combination of electrospinning technology and cellulose (and its derivatives) provides a feasible approach to produce nanostructured porous materials with promising functionalities, flexibility, renewability and biodegradability. At the same time, it enables value-added applications of cellulose and its derivatives that are derived from nature or even biomass waste. This review summarizes and discusses the latest progress in cellulose-based electrospun nanofibers, including their construction methods and conditions, various available raw materials, and applications in multiple areas (water treatment, biomaterials, sensors, electro-conductive materials, active packaging, and so on), which are followed by the conclusion and prospects associated with future opportunities and challenges in this active research area.

Cellulose based aerogels have recently gained a lot of interest in the past few years because of their sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biosafety. Cellulose is an excellent raw material for the preparation of aerogels because of its advantages of strong renewability, low cost, good biocompatibility and easy degradation. The nanoscale cellulose can be prepared by physical, chemical and biological enzyme methods for the preparation of nanocellulose based aerogels (NCBAs).

With the advancement of worldwide carbon neutralization, passive radiative cooling (PRC) has attracted tremendous interest in energy conservation by dissipating heat into the ultracold outer space without any electricity consumption. Despite some progress has been made in tailoring spectral properties for PRC, it still remains a crucial challenge in fabricating efficient and low-cost coolers for building energy saving. Herein, hierarchical cellulose-based aerogel coolers consisting of beads-on-string structural electrospun nanofibers are manufactured for all-day and all-region energy saving by combining radiative cooling and thermal insulation in one design.

Cellulose, as the most abundant natural polymer on Earth, has long captured researchers' attention due to its high strength and modulus. Nevertheless, transferring its exceptional mechanical properties to macroscopic 2D and 3D materials poses numerous challenges. This review provides an overview of the research progress in the development of strong cellulose-based materials using both the "bottom-up" and "top-down" approaches.
