Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have gained increasing attention due to their robust mechanical properties, favorable biocompatibility, and facile surface modification. However, green and recyclable CNF production remains challenging. Herein, a green, low-cost and room-temperature strategy was developed to exfoliate CNFs using deep eutectic solvents. A high average yield (~90 %) of CNFs was achieved during the recycling process. The resultant CNFs delivered favorable dispersion in water with an average length of ~5.3 μm and an average diameter of ~44 nm. The application of the resultant CNFs for multifunctional sensors was explored by fabricating the composite films of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), tannic acid-decorated CNFs (CNF@TA) and Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). As a stretchable strain sensor, the PVA/CNF@TA/AgNPs sample exhibited superior sensitivity (GF = 46.42), low detection limit (<
1 %) and fast response (80 ms). This sensor possessed excellent temperature sensing performance with good accuracy (0.1 °C), high TCR (29.84/°C) in the body temperature region of 34-42 °C and desirable linearity (R
