Review and Perspectives for Effective Solutions to Grand Challenges of Energy and Fuels Technologies via Novel Deep Eutectic Solvents

Sustainable technologies applied to energy-related applications should develop a pivotal role over the next decades. Therefore, development of new materials for old processes has merged as central research line lately. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been recently considered alternative and economic task-specific many chemical environmental processes. The low-cost production DESs from natural sources their tunable properties, such neat null toxicity biodegradability, make these suitable candidates various within green chemistry framework. Considering millions possible DES combinations yet be explored, detailed review research’s current status that can elaborate on structure–property relationship is an essential task identify missing links strong points research. Thus, this work focuses recent efforts utilization processes, with purpose elucidation gas capture/separation, fuel desulfurization, biodiesel production, water treatment provides deeper understanding outstanding scientific questions identifies promising directions involve DESs.
