Abstract
Cellulose, a naturally abundant polysaccharide, has garnered significant attention as a recyclable and inexhaustible renewable resource, which offers a sustainable alternative to fossil-based polymers due to its edibility, environmental friendliness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. To further enhance its applicability, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as innovative and green solvents owing to their exceptional low cost, easy fabrication, and non-toxicity, presenting new insights into cellulose chemistry by revealing the unique structure-property-application relationships. Thus, DESs are expected to become the preferred solvents for efficient cellulose dissolution. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of cellulose and DESs, highlighting the current advancements in cellulose dissolution using DESs, and exploring their potential in various cutting-edge applications. Moreover, we outline the opportunities and challenges associated with utilizing DESs for managing cellulose-based systems.
期刊介绍:
Industrial Crops and Products is an International Journal publishing academic and industrial research on industrial (defined as non-food/non-feed) crops and products. Papers concern both crop-oriented and bio-based materials from crops-oriented research, and should be of interest to an international audience, hypothesis driven, and where comparisons are made statistics performed.
