The simultaneous attainment of high strength and high toughness of transparent cellulose nanofibril (CNF) film can expedite its uses in advanced applications. In this work, a wood-inspired strategy is proposed to address the conflict between strength and toughness by using natural derived lignosulfonic acid (LA) as a reinforcing additive. Only 1 wt% LA addition can double the toughness (11.0±1.3 MJ/m3) of pure CNF film. Consequently, the as-prepared CNF/LA-1 nanocomposite film not only exhibits superior mechanical properties (
