Abstract
A new generation of cheap and sustainable choline-derived ionic solvents is reported. These solvents are capable of rapidly dissolving and decrystallizing microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in only a few minutes, thus offering an eco-efficient alternative to the traditional use of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (see scheme).
