The functionalization of cellulose naturally couples with energy management such as heat sorption/release and spectral modulation. As the most abundant organic polymer on Earth, cellulose features a hierarchical structure from macroscale down to angstrom scale, providing unique interaction with multiband electromagnetic waves. However, fundamental understanding of heat transfer mechanism in this natural material is lacking. Here in this talk, we will describe our recent work aiming at unraveling the multiscale heat-cellulose interaction towards energy related applications.
