In this study, ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate BmimHSO4 combined with high ultrasonication is used to prepare NC from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The investigation by atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the obtained NC had a rod-like shape with average particle diameter and length of 0.77 0.28μm, 2.11 0.65mμ respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization exhibited that the prepared NC maintained the cellulose type I structure and the recovered IL (97%) composition remained intact as the pure IL. Therefore, it is expected to develop a green approach to produce nanocellulose with high quality using ILs. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2021 publisher: IOP Publishing Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85103109009&doi=10.1088%2f1742-6596%2f1793%2f1%2f012046&partnerID=40&md5=bfd5969f01640ffec8b92992e326fbff id_number: 10.1088/1742-6596/1793/1/012046 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Physics: Conference Series volume: 1793 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17426588 citation: Haron, G.A.S. and Noh, H.B. and Moniruzzaman, M.
