A systematic review of cellulosic material for green electronics devices

In the epoch of scarcity of environmentally friendly materials and global environmental change, sustainable materials stand out to meet the approach. Amongst abundant choices, Cellulose is found in enormous amounts in nature and is a green, inexhaustible asset. It is of expanding interest for a scope of utilizations pertinent to electronics devices because of its abundance in nature, high durability, structural strength, robustness, and flexibility. The initial component of biomass is cellulose and is highlighted in this review, following source of origins, including plants, bacteria, and algae. This review also emphasized various chemical, mechanical, and combined chemical and mechanical treatments to obtain various cellulose-based materials such as cellulosic nanofiber (CNF), nanofibril cellulose (NFC), and cellulosic nanocrystals (CNC), and regenerated cellulose film (RCF). Also, the areas of cellulose research such as green flexible electronics, wearable thermoelectric devices, electrode materials for flexible energy storage devices, high-performance bioelectronics devices, flexible electroluminescent devices, E-skin sensors, High performance green flexible electronics (Gallium arsenide-based HBTs, Silicon-based digital devices, submissive capacitor, and inductor) organic synaptic transistor, human motion sensors have been discussed at length.

Automated summary

In the era of scarcity of environmentally friendly materials and global environmental change, sustainable materials, such as cellulose, have gained increasing attention due to their abundance in nature and various desirable properties. This paper provides an overview of the sources of cellulose from plants, bacteria, and algae, and various methods to obtain cellulose-based materials. It also discusses the applications of cellulose in areas such as flexible electronics, wearable devices, and high-performance electronic devices.
