The work aims to realize the application of cellulose-based aerogel sensing materials in intelligent packaging. By reviewing the sensing mechanism of cellulosic aerogels and the range of intelligent packaging, the research and application status of pressure sensitive, humidity sensitive, gas sensitive and heavy metal ion sensing materials at home and abroad were summarized. Cellulose aerogel sensing materials show advantages of excellent design, stable circulation, diversified application scenarios, etc., and have broad development prospects in the field of green intelligent packaging. By analyzing the demand of intelligent packaging, the development direction of cellulose-based aerogel sensing packaging materials is forecasted.
