No—you generally do not capitalize “twenty-first century.”
Use lowercase in normal sentences:
We are living in the twenty-first century.
Capitalize only in these cases:
At the beginning of a sentence
Twenty-first century technology is evolving rapidly.
In titles or headings (title case)
The Impact of the Twenty-First Century on Architecture
So, in standard usage: twenty-first century (lowercase) is correct.
