Deep eutectic solvents, composed of a combination of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, possess a remarkable characteristic - they exhibit a substantial reduction in melting point. While the ...

Typical metallurgical extraction routes require high energy investments to process metals from constituent ores. Others, such as cyanidation of gold ore, are perceived negatively by the public due to ...

This is one of the first photos of a new class of solvent, hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The DES is the orange phase, sitting on top of water, the transparent phase. Deep eutectic ...

image: The recycling of LCO is realized in a closed-loop protocol, where the dissolution/extraction of the cobalt element involves no additional precipitates, thus ...

Deep eutectic solvents used as the medium of sensitizer and emitter chromophores (left) and the photon upconverter developed (right). The sample converts low-intensity (a few mW) green light into ...

For a couple of decades, researchers have been scouring ancient proteins stuck to culinary pots for hints at what people ate in ages past. Now a team of scientists has found that a solvent mixture may ...
