Abstract

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride plays other roles in the acid-catalysed depolymerisation of cellulose rather than being ‘merely’ a solvent for the biopolymer. The ionic liquid species enhances the Hammett acidity of the catalyst, thus improving the kinetics of cellulose depolymerisation.
