Cover Story: Cellulose, the most abundant biobased polymer on earth, is considered the highest hallmark for green materials due to its inexhaustibility, lack of toxicity, biocompatibility, and renewability. Thanks to its unique nanoarchitecture, physicochemical properties, and ease on functionalization and formulation, cellulose stands out as a powerful alternative to replace petroleum-based polymers in the development of high-performance (bio)sensors, spanning from optical to electrochemical sensors. The fascinating properties of cellulose and cellulose derivatives are reviewed here, highlighting why this material is suitable to develop sensors and biosensors for detecting varied analytes and physical changes.
