“…After being combined with various cations possessing alkyl functional groups, Cl − , acetate (Ac − ), dimethyl phosphate (DMP − ), and diethyl phosphate (DEP − ) anions (acidic protons) strongly exhibit the ability to dissolve cellulose [60]. In contrast, weak hydrogen-bonding anions, e.g., BF 4 − , PF 6 − , and Tf 2 N − , are not suitable for cellulose dissolution [61,62]. The Cl − -based ILs are widely adopted as a small-sized hydrophilic hydrogen bond acceptor, for instance BmimCl is frequently used due to its thermoplasticity and thermal processability [63][64][65][66].…”
