Abstract Design of ionic liquids for dissolution, depolymerization, and energy conversion of cellulose and their derivatives is described. Importance of physicochemical properties such as polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability of the ionic liquids is described, and some practical approaches to prepare novel ionic liquids as solvents for cellulose technology are reviewed with latest results.
