The Effect of Additives on the Viscosity and Dissolution of Cellulose in Tetrabutylphosphonium Hydroxide.

TL;DR: An electrolyte solution of tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide in water can dissolve over 20 wt % of cellulose in minutes and therefore constitutes a promising alternative green solvent system compared to known imidazolium- or dimethylacetamide-based systems.
