What is it about?

Its about cellulose, ionic liquid, deconstruction strategy, whats has been done so far and how far was achieved starting from the scratch.

Why is it important?

1) Strategy of cellulose depolymerization 2) Taking cellulose conversion to be level of obtaining liquid fuels 3) Significance of cellulose to isosorbide conversion 4) How would derive valeric fuels from cellulose

Promises in direct conversion of cellulose and lignocellulosic biomass to chemicals and fuels: Combined solvent–nanocatalysis approach for biorefinary
Various new techniques based on such as ionic liquids, acid functionalized mesoporous materials, organic acids, functionalized nanoparticles, and mechanocatalytic depolymerization was discussed in detail for the very important direct conversion of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. More emphasis is given on a comparative analysis of recently developed all successful methods for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from cellulose in terms of efficiency, selectivity and cost-effectiveness.
