Depleting fossil reserves and growing energy needs have raised the demand for an
alternative and clean energy source. The use of ubiquitously available lignocellulosic …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by
significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent …

Increasing reliance on non-renewable fuels has shifted research attention to
environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources. The inherently recalcitrant nature …

Lignin, the most abundant natural aromatic feedstock, is one of the most renewable
resources for many biofuels, chemicals, and smart materials. Recent progress in deep …

The establishment of the place of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as a new class of green
solvents was essentially grounded on naïve comparisons with Ionic Liquids (ILs), since both …

Urbanization has driven the demand for fossil fuels, however, its overly exploited resource
has caused severe damage on environmental pollution. Biorefining using abundant …

Green solvents are one of the hot topics of green chemistry. Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep
eutectic solvents (DESs) are deemed as green solvents to a certain extent, and they have …

Heterogeneity and rigidity of lignocellulose causing resistance to its deconstruction have
provided technical and economic challenges in the current biomass conversion processes …

Pretreatment processes—recognized as critical steps for efficient biomass refining—have
received much attention over the last two decades. In this context, deep eutectic solvents …
