Abstract
The current landscape of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) extraction methodologies presents significant challenges, particularly for multiple PFAS with different carbon chain lengths. This study introduced an energy-driven strategic approach for screening deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to effectively remove a diverse range of PFAS, including perfluoroalkylcarboxylic acids (PFCAs), perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids (PFSAs), and perfluoroalkyl amides (FAAs), from contaminated environments (total 13 target compounds). Utilizing energy-based screening, we identified DES candidates with high affinity for a spectrum of PFAS compounds from 1234 potential starting materials of eutectic systems. Key findings revealed the superior removal efficiency of tributylphosphineoxide/2-methylpiperazine system, exceeding 99 % for various PFAS with different carbon chain lengths in real environmental water samples. Additionally, we elucidated the molecular interactions between DESs and PFAS through ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms governing the removal process. The mechanism of extraction involves hydrogen bond network topology and structural organization, with DESs capable of extracting PFAS while maintaining a weakly aggregated state of target molecules and minimizing the impact on the intrinsic structures of DES. The proposed system forms a dynamic, complementary, and flexible non-covalent interaction network structure with PFAS. The study advances the understanding of DES as a designable, effective, and sustainable alternative to conventional solvents for PFAS remediation, offering a significant contribution to environmental chemistry and green technology.

Scattering approaches to unravel protein solution behaviors in ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents: From basic principles to recent developments. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 331:103242.

Abstract
Proteins in ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained significant attention due to their potential applications in various fields, including biocatalysis, bioseparation, biomolecular delivery, and structural biology. Scattering approaches including dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) have been used to understand the solution behavior of proteins at the nanoscale and microscale. This review provides a thorough exploration of the application of these scattering techniques to elucidate protein properties in ILs and DESs. Specifically, the review begins with the theoretical foundations of the relevant scattering approaches and describes the essential solvent properties of ILs and DESs linked to scattering such as refractive index, scattering length density, ion-pairs, liquid nanostructure, solvent aggregation, and specific ion effects. Next, a detailed introduction is provided on protein properties such as type, concentration, size, flexibility and structure as observed through scattering methodologies. This is followed by a review of the literature on the use of scattering for proteins in ILs and DESs. It is highlighted that enhanced data analysis and modeling tools are necessary for assessing protein flexibility and structure, and for understanding protein hydration, aggregation and specific ion effects. It is also noted that complementary approaches are recommended for comprehensively understanding the behavior of proteins in solution due to the complex interplay of factors, including ion-binding, dynamic hydration, intermolecular interactions, and specific ion effects. Finally, the challenges and potential research directions for this field are proposed, including experimental design, data analysis approaches, and supporting methods to obtain fundamental understandings of complex protein behavior and protein systems in solution. We envisage that this review will support further studies of protein interface science, and in particular studies on solvent and ion effects on proteins.

Molecular interaction between three novel amino acid based deep eutectic solvents with surface active ionic liquid: A comparative study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e35598. [PMID: 39170157 PMCID: PMC11336992 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Interaction between a surface active ionic liquid (IL) viz. 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Dmim][Cl] with three novel amino acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DES, consisting of choline chloride and l-methionine (DES1), l-phenylalanine (DES2), and l-glutamine (DES3) in a 1: 2 mol ratio) is studied. Several techniques, including surface tension, fluorescence, UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), were used to investigate the key micellar properties and intermolecular interactions between the IL and DESs. All the DESs studied here facilitate the micellization process successfully lowering the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of [Dmim][Cl] with addition of 5 wt% and 10 wt% of DESs. In decreasing order of DES2 > DES1 > DES3, the affinity to promote IL [Dmim][Cl] aggregation within aqueous DES solutions. Additionally, the CMC values as well as the surface tension at CMC are both noticeably reduced significantly by DES2. The surface tension method determines how three amino acid-based DESs affect the CMC, Гmax, πCMC, Amin and pC20 of micellization. When IL [Dmim][Cl] forms micelles within DES solutions, the solvophobic effect predominates, and the intermolecular hydrogen-bond interaction helps to form micelles. FTIR was used to examine the molecular interactions and structural changes of the ionic liquid self-assemblies in aqueous DESs. The results show that the presence of DESs greatly aids in the micellization of [Dmim][Cl], and to a greater extent for DES2 than for DES1/DES3. The colloidal properties of DES and their mixtures are advantageous for the solubility, micellization, and other features of ionic liquids; further details on this positive observation are provided in the results and discussion. In the areas of micellization, CMC, synthesis, catalysis, and environmental, biological, and pharmaceutical applications, among others, DESs are extremely useful.

Abstract
A new simple, fast and environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DES-based DLLME) methodology assisted by vortex is presented for the separation and preconcentration of three elements (i.e., Fe, Cu and Pb) from edible oil samples (i.e., soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, sesame, and olive oil) prior to the determination by microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES). The deep eutectic solvent selected as extractant (i.e., choline chloride and ethylene glycol, 1:2) is synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the extraction conditions are optimized by a two steps experimental design. Under the optimum extraction conditions (i.e., diluted sample weight: 8.6 g; DES volume: 100 μL; extraction time: 1 min; centrifugation time and speed: 3 min and 3000 rpm; and dispersion system: vortex) the analytical method presents excellent linearity (i.e., R2 values higher than 0.99) in the range 10-500 μg kg-1, repeatability (i.e., CV values lower than 9.2%), and limits of detection (LOD) values of 3, 2 and 0.7 μg kg-1 for Pb, Fe and Cu, respectively. None of the analytes displayed amounts over the upper limit permitted by law, and recovery values of all analytes evaluated in the different samples using external standard calibration were close to 100%, which excludes significant matrix effects. Finally, AGREEprep metric has been used to evaluate the method greenness (final score of 0.47) and it has been compared successfully with previous publications for the same type of analytes and matrices.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are low-melting mixtures, often prepared from a salt and a molecular hydrogen bond donor. Like ionic liquids, DESs that contain at least one sufficiently amphiphilic component can form bicontinuous nanostructures consisting of polar and nonpolar domains, although this has not been widely explored for many DES combinations. Here, the bulk nanostructures of DESs comprising tetraalkylammonium bromide salts (tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetraoctylammonium bromide, and methyltrioctylammonium bromide) with alkanols and alkanoic acids of systematically varied chain lengths (C2, C6, C8, and C10) as hydrogen bond donors have been studied. Small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were used to identify the relationship between the alkyl chain length and functionality of the hydrogen bond donor on the nature of the amphiphilic nanostructures formed. These findings demonstrated that the amphiphilic nanostructures of the DESs were not affected by the functional group on the hydrogen bond donor, with these nanostructures influenced primarily by both the absolute and relative alkyl chain lengths of the salt and hydrogen bond donor.

Abstract
Gel-based wound dressings have gained popularity within the healthcare industry for the prevention and treatment of bacterial and fungal infections. Gels based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs), known as eutectogels, provide a promising alternative to hydrogels as they are non-volatile and highly tunable and can solubilize therapeutic agents, including those insoluble in hydrogels. A choline chloride:glycerol-cellulose eutectogel was loaded with numerous antimicrobial agents including silver nanoparticles, black phosphorus nanoflakes, and commercially available pharmaceuticals (octenidine dihydrochloride, tetracycline hydrochloride, and fluconazole). The eutectogels caused >97% growth reduction in Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and the fungal species Candida albicans.

Abstract
Lignin depolymerization, which enables the breakdown of a complex and heterogeneous aromatic polymer into relatively uniform derivatives, serves as a critical process in valorization of lignin. Enzymatic lignin depolymerization has become a promising biological strategy to overcome the heterogeneity of lignin, due to its mild reaction conditions and high specificity. However, the low solubility of lignin compounds in aqueous environments prevents efficient lignin depolymerization by lignin-degrading enzymes. The employment of biocompatible ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in lignin fractionation has created a promising pathway to enzymatically depolymerize lignin within these green solvents to increase lignin solubility. In this review, recent research progress on enzymatic lignin depolymerization, particularly in a consolidated process involving ILs/DESs is summarized. In addition, the interactions between lignin-degrading enzymes and solvent systems are explored, and potential protein engineering methodology to improve the performance of lignin-degrading enzymes is discussed. Consolidation of enzymatic lignin depolymerization and biocompatible ILs/DESs paves a sustainable, efficient, and synergistic way to convert lignin into value-added products.

Abstract
Cryopreservation presents significant opportunities for biomedical applications including cell therapy, tissue engineering, and assisted reproduction. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the most commonly used cryoprotectant (CPA), can be added to cells to prevent cryogenic damage. However, the toxicity of cryoprotectants restrains its further development in many areas with safety concerns such as clinical treatment. Therefore, the development of low-toxicity cryoprotectants is essential for medical research. This work reports deep eutectic solvents (DES) as naturally biocompatible osmoprotectants for green and efficient cryopreservation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HuMSC), which may be an ideal alternative to DMSO. The six types of DESs were explored for thermal properties, toxicity, and permeability in cells. Raman spectroscopy and viscosity studies showed that DES exhibited an improved hydrogen-bonding system as the temperature decreased. By optimizing the freezing process (cooling rate, incubation time, and loading procedure) of DES, the viability of mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH-3T3) after thawing was significantly improved. The HuMSC were successfully preserved with no significant difference (p > 0.05) in cell viability (94.65%) after thawing compared with DMSO, which preserved the cell differentiation function and improved the cell proliferation rate. The mechanism of DES in cryopreservation was investigated, and it was found that DES could bind water molecules and effectively inhibit the growth of ice crystals during ice recrystallization, reducing mechanical damage to cells. This study highlights the excellent performance of DES as a low-toxicity CPA for stem cell preservation, which may be a significant advance for future clinical cell therapy.

Abstract
Feeds for aquaculture animals are designed to provide them with the greatest amount of nourishment they need to carry out their regular physiological activities, such as maintaining a potent natural immune system and boosting growth and reproduction. However, the problems that severely hamper this sector's ability to contribute to achieving global food security include disease prevalence, chemical pollution, environmental deterioration, and inadequate feed usage. The regulated release of active aquafeed components; limited water solubility, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability, as well as their potent odour and flavour, limit their utilisation. They are unstable under high temperatures, acidic pH, oxygen, or light. Recent advancements in nano-feed for aquaculture (fish/shrimp) have attract enormous attention due to its excellent nutritional value, defeating susceptibility and perishability. Encapsulation is a multifunctional smart system that could bring benefits of personalized medicine; minimize costs and resources in the preclinical and clinical study in pharmacology. It guarantees the coating of the active ingredient as well as its controlled release and targeted distribution to a particular area of the digestive tract. For instance, using nanotechnology to provide more effective fish/shrimps feed for aquaculture species. The review enables a perspective points on safety and awareness in aquafeeds that have been made by the advancements of nanosystem. Therefore, potential of nano-delivery system in aquafeed industry for aquaculture act as concluding remark on future directions.

Abstract
Since the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in 2003, significant progress has been made in the field, specifically advancing aspects of their preparation and physicochemical characterization. Their low-cost and unique tailored properties are reasons for their growing importance as a sustainable medium for the resource-efficient processing and synthesis of advanced materials. In this paper, the significance of these designer solvents and their beneficial features, in particular with respect to biomimetic materials chemistry, is discussed. Finally, this article explores the unrealized potential and advantageous aspects of DESs, focusing on the development of biomineralization-inspired hybrid materials. It is anticipated that this article can stimulate new concepts and advances providing a reference for breaking down the multidisciplinary borders in the field of bioinspired materials chemistry, especially at the nexus of computation and experiment, and to develop a rigorous materials-by-design paradigm.

Abstract
As novel green solvents, deep eutectic solvent (DES) with distinct liquid properties has gained increasing interest in pharmaceutical fields. In this study, DES was firstly utilized for improving powder mechanical properties and tabletability of drugs, and the interfacial interaction mechanism was explored. Honokiol (HON), a natural bioactive compound, was used as model drug, and two novel HON-based DESs were synthesized with choline chloride (ChCl) and l-menthol (Men), respectively. The extensive non-covalent interactions were account for DES formation according to FTIR, 1H NMR and DFT calculation. PLM, DSC and solid-liquid phase diagram revealed that DES successfully in situ formed in HON powders, and the introduction of trace amount DES (99:1 w/w for HON-ChCl, 98:2 w/w for HON-Men) significantly improve mechanical properties of HON. Surface energy analysis and molecular simulation revealed that the introduced DES promoted the formation of solid-liquid interfaces and generation of polar interactions, which increase interparticulate interactions, thus better tabletability. Compared to nonionic HON-Men DES, ionic HON-ChCl DES exhibited better improvement effect, since their more hydrogen-bonding interactions and higher viscosity promote stronger interfacial interactions and adhesion effect. The current study provides a brand-new green strategy for improving powder mechanical properties and fills in the blank of DES application in pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
In the field of biocatalysis, the implementation of sustainable processes such as enzyme immobilization or employment of environmentally friendly solvents, like Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are of paramount importance. In this work, tyrosinase was extracted from fresh mushrooms and used in a carrier-free immobilization towards the preparation of both non-magnetic and magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). The prepared biocatalyst was characterized and the biocatalytic and structural traits of free tyrosinase and tyrosinase magnetic CLEAs (mCLEAs) were evaluated in numerous DES aqueous solutions. The results showed that the nature and the concentration of the DESs used as co-solvents significantly affected the catalytic activity and stability of tyrosinase, while the immobilization enhanced the activity of the enzyme in comparison with the non-immobilized enzyme up to 3.6-fold. The biocatalyst retained the 100% of its initial activity after storage at -20 °C for 1 year and the 90% of its activity after 5 repeated cycles. Tyrosinase mCLEAs were further applied in the homogeneous modification of chitosan with caffeic acid in the presence of DES. The biocatalyst demonstrated great ability in the functionalization of chitosan with caffeic acid in the presence of 10% v/v DES [Bet:Gly (1:3)], enhancing the antioxidant activity of the films.

Abstract
The problems with plastic materials and the good film-forming properties of polysaccharides motivated research in the development of polysaccharide-based films. In the last 5 years, there has been an explosion of publications on using green solvents, including ionic liquids (ILs), and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as candidates to substitute the conventional solvents/plasticizers for preparations of desired polysaccharide-based films. This review summarizes related properties and recovery of ILs and DESs, a series of green preparation strategies (including pretreatment solvents/reaction media, ILs/DESs as components, extraction solvents of bioactive compounds added into films), and inherent properties of polysaccharide-based films with/without ILs and DESs. Major reported advantages of these new solvents are high dissolving capacity of certain ILs/DESs for polysaccharides (i.e., up to 30 wt% for cellulose) and better plasticizing ability than traditional plasticizers. In addition, they frequently display intrinsic antioxidant and antibacterial activities that facilitate ILs/DESs applications in the processing of polysaccharide-based films (especially active food packaging films). ILs/DESs in the film could also be further recycled by water or ethanol/methanol treatment followed by drying/evaporation. One particularly promising approach is to use bioactive cholinium-based ILs and DESs with good safety and plasticizing ability to improve the functional properties of prepared films. Whole extracts by ILs/DESs from various byproducts can also be directly used in films without separation/polishing of compounds from the extracting agents. Scaling-up, including costs and environmental footprint, as well as the safety and applications in real foods of polysaccharide-based film with ILs/DESs (extracts) deserves more studies.

Abstract
Interest in deep eutectic solvents (DESs), particularly for electrochemical applications, has boomed in the past decade because they are more versatile than conventional electrolyte solutions and are low cost, renewable, and non-toxic. The molecular scale lateral nanostructures as a function of potential at the solid-liquid interface-critical design parameters for the use of DESs as electrochemical solvents-are yet to be revealed. In this work, in situ amplitude modulated atomic force microscopy complemented by molecular dynamics simulations is used to probe the Stern and near-surface layers of the archetypal and by far most studied DES, 1:2 choline chloride:urea (reline), at the highly orientated pyrolytic graphite surface as a function of potential, to reveal highly ordered lateral nanostructures with unprecedented molecular resolution. This detail allows identification of choline, chloride, and urea in the Stern layer on graphite, and in some cases their orientations. Images obtained after the potential is switched from negative to positive show the dynamics of the Stern layer response, revealing that several minutes are required to reach equilibrium. These results provide valuable insight into the nanostructure and dynamics of DESs at the solid-liquid interface, with implications for the rational design of DESs for interfacial applications.

Abstract
The choline chloride (ChCl) and ethylene glycol (EG) mixture has become established as a paradigmatic deep eutectic solvent (DES). Here, we present measurements of the phase behaviour of this mixture over a wide composition range, and provide an extended phase diagram. The eutectic point was found to lie at -28 ± 1 °C and 0.01 < xChCl < 0.02, sharply contrasting with the previously expected eutectic composition. Our observations confirm that the eutectic temperature is not 'deep' compared to the ideal solution theory prediction. We also observe a cold-crystallisation at T = -65 °C which may have been formerly misinterpreted as the eutectic point.

Abstract
As an emerging and potential replacement system for liquid electrolytes, polymer electrolytes (PEs) exhibit unique capacity in suppressing metal dendrite formation and leakage risks. However, the most used polymer matrix, including polyether, polyester, and polysiloxane, still cannot meet the practical demands for metal electrode compatibility and long lifespan. In this study, gel polymer electrolytes consisting of a polyurea network with abundant hydrogen bonds and deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) are designed and prepared in-situ. The hydrogen bonding between polyurea chains and polyurea-DEE provides good interfacial stability between PEs and lithium metal. As a result, the assembled Li/LiFePO4 cells based on this electrolyte deliver a long cycle life with 90 % retention after 500 cycles and 76.5 % retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C. In addition, the flexible design characteristics of polyurea structure permit easy operation for performance optimization by modulating the composition of hard and soft segments, and enhanced ionic conductivity and self-healing efficiency are obtained. This study provides a novel method for preparing advanced polymer electrolytes for lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Cryopreservation has facilitated numerous breakthroughs including assisted reproductive technology, stem cell therapies, and species preservation. Successful cryopreservation requires the addition of cryoprotective agents to protect against freezing damage and dehydration. For decades, cryopreservation has largely relied on the same two primary agents: dimethylsulfoxide and glycerol. However, both of these are toxic which limits their use for cells destined for clinical applications. Furthermore, these two agents are ineffective for hundreds of cell types, and organ and tissue preservation has not been achieved. The research presented here shows that deep eutectic solvents can be used as cryoprotectants. Six deep eutectic solvents were explored for their cryoprotective capacity towards mammalian cells. The solvents were tested for their thermal properties, including glass transitions, toxicity, and permeability into mammalian cells. A deep eutectic solvent made from proline and glycerol was an effective cryoprotective agent for all four cell types tested, even with extended incubation prior to freezing. This deep eutectic solvent was more effective and less toxic than its individual components, highlighting the importance of multi-component systems. Cells were characterised post-thawing using atomic force microscopy and confocal microscopy. Molecular dynamics simulations support the biophysical parameters obtained by experimentation. This is one of the first times that this class of solvents has been systematically tested for cryopreservation of mammalian cells and as such this research opens the way for the development of potentially thousands of new cryoprotective agents that can be tailored to specific cell types. The demonstrated capacity of cells to be incubated with the deep eutectic solvent at 37 °C for hours prior to freezing without significant loss of viability is a major step toward the storage of organs and tissues.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a new class of green, designer and biocompatible solvents, an alternative to conventional organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs) which are comparatively toxic and non-biodegradable. DESs are eutectic mixtures that are formed when a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) is mixed with a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) at particular molar ratios by mechanical grinding or under mild heating conditions. Very recently, these solvents have been the center of attention for researchers in biotechnology, biomedicine and various scientific applications. These environmentally benign solvents have a close analogy with ILs; however, they offer certain unique merits over traditional ILs. DESs display remarkable properties such as easy preparation, tunable composition, biodegradability, recyclability, inherently low toxicity, sustainability and biocompatibility; these special features validate DESs as new potential solvents/co-solvents for biomolecules. Mechanistically, the biocompatibility and protein friendly nature of DESs depend on various factors, which include the composition of the DES, viscosity and hydration level. Therefore, it becomes an essential task to bring together all the studies related to protein behaviour in DESs to unlock their biomolecular proficiency. This review specifically highlights recent insights into the biomacromolecular functionality in DESs, including outlines of the solubilization and stabilization of proteins, long term protein packaging, different extraction methods and enzyme activation in the presence of DESs. A literature survey reveals that DESs act as green media in which the protein structure and activity are retained. In some cases, proteins refolded and enzymatic activity was enhanced several fold in the presence of DESs. Furthermore, we have reviewed the possible mechanistic behaviour behind protein stabilization, refolding and activation in DESs. Overall, the main objective of this review is to explicate the advantages of the introduction of DESs for biomolecules and to demonstrate the versatility of these eco-friendly solvents for future bio-based applications.
