One step catalytic conversion of cellulose to sustainable chemicals utilizing cooperative ionic liquid pairs

A 100% conversion of cellulose to industrially useful chemicals is, for the first time, achieved in a single pot reaction by the use of cooperative ionic liquid pairs for combined dissolution and catalytic degradation of cellulose, which overcomes the long intrinsic phase problem in the conversion o...
