Nanostructures due to their small size, in comparison with their bulk counterparts, possess unique properties including magnetic, electrochemical and photonic properties. Therefore, such nanomaterials found a wide variety of application in different fields such as catalysis, electronic and spintronics, life and material sciences. Controlling the morphology and structure of nanomaterials is of c...

The solubility of DNA in bio-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) consisting of mixtures of choline chloride with levulinic acid, glycerol, ethylene glycol, sorbitol and resorcinol was investigated. The macromolecule was found to be soluble and chemically and structurally stable in DESs consisting of mixtures containing glycerol and ethylene glycol. Furthermore recyclability of the DESs was demo...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently been postulated as possible environments where protein structure may be preserved in the absence of water. Here we present our results towards understanding protein conformation in choline chloride-based DES and mixtures with water. Lysozyme and bovine serum albumin have been investigated by means of circular dichroism and small-angle neutron scattering.

A choline chloride/urea natural deep eutectic solvent (ChCl NADES) was prepared via a green chemistry method and used to leach Zn Mn oxides from conventional Zn–C scrap batteries. FTIR 1H NMR spectroscopy were characterize the NADES. The leaching kinetics of monitored at isothermal conditions (80, 100, 125, 150 °C) two solid/NADES ratios: 3.3 10 g dm−3. It possible dissolve under all tested con...

A NADES, choline chloride/water, allows a high yielding preparation of pure quinoxalines embedding acid sensitive and other functional groups at room temperature in very short reaction time.
