Cellulose, in addition to hemicellulose and lignin, makes the major fraction of lignocellulosic
biomass–the only sustainable feedstock to meet the long-term sustainable energy need of …

The efficacy of ionic liquids in pretreatment and production of renewable or platform
chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass have been substantiated by many research studies …

Evaluation of toxicity of ionic liquids has been less prioritized, compared to the development
of new ionic liquids and their applications. Focus on the toxicity of ionic liquids should be …

There are increasing numbers of studies on the design and evaluation of functional ionic
liquids (ILs). Recent progress of functional ILs has been reviewed here. Applications of ILs …

Energy-efficient bioethanol production from plant biomass is in high demand, and one of the
most promising procedures reported to date is one-pot ethanol production, that is, the …

Chemocatalytic transformation of lignocellulosic biomass to value‐added chemicals has
attracted global interest in order to build up sustainable societies. Cellulose, the first most …

A new family of biobased-zwitterionic ionic liquids (ZILs) have been synthesized starting
from the renewable resource L-histidine natural amino acid and varying the lengths of the …

Five different zwitterionic sorbent coatings based on polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) were
developed by the on fiber UV co-polymerization of the zwitterionic monomers 1-vinyl-3 …

An insight into the properties of cell wall of mustard stalk (MS) pretreated by five ionic liquids
(ILs) revealed ILs interaction with cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin components …

The conversion of cellulose into valuable chemicals has attracted much attention, due to the
concern about depletion of fossil fuels. The hydrolysis of cellulose is a key step in this …
