Recently, fluorescent materials composed of carbon dots (CDs) have attracted increasing attention in diverse fields, including the environment, food, biology, and medicine. Cellulose has emerged as a promising class of materials for carriers due to its low cost, fascinating biodegradability, and various morphologies, especially in available different dimensions. By taking advantage of the respective superiority of fluorescent materials and cellulose carriers, the performance of fluorescence composite materials can be optimized and their application may be extended. Here, in this review, the study emphasizes the synthesis and applications of cellulose-based fluorescent materials with different dimensions. Moreover, some effective strategies and potential challenges for further development of cellulose-based fluorescent materials are discussed. A deeper understanding will provide a guide for the materials with ideal fluorescent performances.
