To address the need to scale up technologies for electrospinning of biopolymers from ionic liquids to practical volumes, a setup for the multi‐needle electrospinning of chitin using the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate, [C2mim]‐[OAc], was designed, built, and demonstrated. Materials with controllable and high surface area were prepared at the nanoscale using ionic‐liquid solutions of high‐molecular‐weight chitin extracted with the same ionic liquid directly from shrimp shells.
