Abstract: In this paper, the advanced preparation methods of nanocellulose are reviewed and their
advantages and disadvantages are compared, especially the application of using a eutectic solvent to
prepare nanocellulose instead of strong acid and strong base solvent is listed. In this paper, the wide
application of nanocellulose in medicine, sewage treatment, electrochemistry, gas absorption and
other fields is summarized, such as drug transport as a drug carrier and the construction of biological
tissue scaffolds for the medical field. Further research is needed, and the expectation of more
green and efficient preparation of nanocellulose and its application prospect in more fields is expressed.
