Due to the intensification of global warming and the greenhouse effect, the exploration and research of sustainable sensors have become a research direction of people. Cellulose-based hydrogels, as a new kind of green material with strong plasticity, have become a popular material for sensor development. Due to the limited mechanical properties and poor compatibility of single-cellulose-based hydrogels, researchers have modified them to not only retain the original excellent properties of cellulose hydrogels, but also increase other properties, which has broadened the field of developing cellulose hydrogel sensors. From 2017 to 2020, cellulose-based hydrogel sensors were mainly used for biosensing applications, with a focus on the detection of biomolecules. Since then, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to pressure and strain sensors, especially those that are flexible and suitable for wearable devices. This paper introduces the modification of cellulose and cellulose-based hydrogels in detail, and lists the applications of modified cellulose-based hydrogels in different functional sensor directions, which provides different ideas for the application of modified cellulose-based hydrogels in the field of sensing, and proves that they have great potential in the field of sensing.
