Conversion of the molecular chain sheets with the exchange of intermolecular hydrogen bonds during the crystal transition from cellulose IIII to cellulose I under hydrothermal conditions. The schematic diagram below illustrates the conversion scheme of the molecular chain arrangement; here, the boxes colored in orange refer to cellulose molecular chains, and the solid blue lines indicate intermolecular hydrogen bonds
