TiO₂/N-cellulose nanocomposite was successfully prepared in the (cyclohexyl)hexyl-dimethylammonium acetate–dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The obtained composite was characterized with various techniques like UV–Vis/DR, FTIR/DRS, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, DLS method and BET SSA measurements. TiO₂/N-cellulose nanocomposite exhibited high UV–Vis light absorption with energy gap shifted to the visible region. Additive of TiO₂/N photocatalyst to cellulose-IL-DMSO solution leads to obtaining the material with higher thermostability and limited photoactivity.
