description Cellulose triacetate (CTA) was successfully synthesized from corn stover cellulose (CSC) in the presence of [PyPS]<sub>3</sub>PW<sub>12</sub>O<sub>40</sub> (IL-POM). The effects of IL-POM contents, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the yield and degree of substitution of CTA were investigated. The synthesized CTA was characterized by SEM, FTIR, and TGA, and the degree of polymerization and solubility in various organic solvents were evaluated. Results showed that the optimum reaction conditions were as follows: 0.04 g of IL-POM, reaction temperature of 140 °C, and reaction time of 45 min, for 0.4 g of CSC and 9 mL of glacial acetic acid. The yield of CTA under optimum reaction conditions was as high as 79.27%, and the degree of substitution was 2.95. SEM and FTIR results showed that the cellulose acetylation occurred, and CTA was synthesized. The TGA results revealed that the decomposition temperature of CTA increased by about 30 °C when compared with that of CSC. A simple, environment-friendly, and efficient process for the preparation of CTA from CSC was constructed, which provides a new pathway for the high-value utilization of corn stover.
