Are deep eutectic solvents (DESs) a promising alternative to conventional solvents?
Perhaps, but their development is hindered by a plethora of misconceptions. These are …

High-safety and low-cost aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are an exceptionally compelling
technology for grid-scale energy storage, whereas the corrosion, hydrogen evolution …

Lignin is produced in large quantities as a by-product of the papermaking and biofuel
industries. Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on the planet with its chemical …

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

Various eutectic systems have been proposed and studied over the past few decades. Most
of the studies have focused on three typical types of eutectics: eutectic metals, eutectic salts …

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 …

The concept of sustainability has progressively evolved into a consensus for achieving long-
term development, and the significance of solvents in regard to green chemistry and …

As the demand for sustainable energy sources continues to rise, the need for efficient and
reliable energy storage systems becomes crucial. In order to effectively store and distribute …

Energy and environmental issues are increasingly prominent, and sustainable synthetic
strategies are needed in response. As a class of green and easily modified solvent, deep …

A stricter definition of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) is urgent, so that it may become a sound
basis for further developments in this field. This communication aims at contributing to …
