    TLDR Cellulose nanocrystals are promising for making effective, sustainable sensors for various uses.
    Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are gaining attention for their potential in sustainable development due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties, renewability, and sustainability. Recent advances in CNC-based sensors highlight their application in various fields, including environmental monitoring, healthcare, and food safety. These sensors benefit from CNCs' high surface area, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, making them effective in detecting a range of analytes with high sensitivity and specificity. The review underscores the importance of continued research to optimize CNC-based sensor performance and expand their practical applications.
