High Yielding Acid‐Catalysed Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Polysaccharides and Native Biomass into Low Molecular Weight Sugars in Mixed Ionic Liquid Systems

Abstract Ionic media comprising 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride and the acidic deep eutectic solvent choline chloride/oxalic acid as co‐solvent‐catalyst, very efficiently convert various cellulosic substrates, including native cellulosic biomass, into water‐soluble carbohydrates. The optimum re...
