The design of a system using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl guanidine in conjunction with ethylene glycol in DMSO after CO2 capture created a new solvent capable of dissolving up to 10 wt% of cellulose under mild conditions, which opened a new window for the homogeneous utilization of cellulose for production of sustainable materials, chemicals and energy in the future.
