Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DES) or mixtures prepared with a chiral component can lead to new applications that include asymmetric synthesis and light emitting materials. DES have low melting points, because of strong interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, between components the mixture. Mixtures are ammonium salts, tetrabutylammonium chloride ([TBA]Cl) choline ([Ch]Cl), bond acceptor (HB...

CO2 separation plays a vital role in reducing emissions to combat climate change, while the available technologies still face challenges, including high costs and intensive energy usage. It is critical develop an energy-efficient cost-effective technology for separation. Ionic liquid/deep eutectic solvent (IL/DES) has drawn significant attention because they are tunable exhibit thermal stabilit...

Deep eutectic solvents show interesting prospects as more sustainable alternatives for metal separation and recovery.

Alternating anodic and cathodic current pulses have been applied to a metal powder on an electrode surface to fuse the particles together. It is shown that homogeneous films can be electroformed with different morphologies depending on the size of the powder and the experimental conditions.

Shattering the long-held dogma that organolithium chemistry needs to be performed under inert atmospheres in toxic organic solvents, chemoselective addition of organolithium reagents to non-activated imines and quinolines has been accomplished in green, biorenewable deep eutectic solvents (DESs) at room temperature and in the presence of air, establishing a novel and sustainable access to amine...

Ceria is a technologically important material with applications in catalysis, emissions control and solid-oxide fuel cells. Nanostructured ceria becomes profoundly more active due to its enhanced surface area to volume ratio, reactive surface oxygen vacancy concentration and superior oxygen storage capacity. Here we report the synthesis of nanostructured ceria using the green Deep Eutectic Solv...

The interface of a 1 : 2 molar choline chloride/ethylene glycol deep eutectic solvent with a glassy carbon electrode has been investigated by polarization modulation reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS). Temporal spectral changes at open circuit potential show the experiments to be surface sensitive and indicate slow adsorption of electrolyte molecules on the electrode surface. In situ...
