Supramolecular solvents based on hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents and primary amines for preconcentration and determination of enrofloxacin in milk. Talanta 2024; 279:126666. [PMID: 39116727 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
In this work, coacervation in primary amines solutions with hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents based on terpenoids and carboxylic acids was demonstrated for the first time. A liquid-phase microextraction approach was developed based on supramolecular solvent formation with primary amine acting as amphiphile and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent making up mixed vesicles and serving as coacervation agent. Such supramolecular solvents could be used to separate wide range of substances from different aqueous media, such as food products, biological liquids and wastewaters. It is important that both hydrophobic and ionic interactions with supramolecular aggregates take place ensuring synergetic effect and better extraction ability, which is significant in separating relatively polar analytes. Different primary amines and deep eutectic solvents were investigated for liquid-phase microextraction of proof-of-concept amphoteric analyte (enrofloxacin, widely used veterinary fluoroquinolone antibiotic) and its determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection using Shimadzu LC-20 Prominence chromatograph and RF-20A fluorescence detector. It was found that the supramolecular solvent based on 1-nonylamine, formed after addition of a deep eutectic solvent based on menthol and hexanoic acid (molar ratio of 1:1), provided maximum extraction recovery (85 %) and maximum enrichment factor (34). To characterize the extraction system, the composition of the phases was investigated, and cryo-transmission electron microscopy images were obtained. Vesicular aggregates were observed in the supramolecular solvent. The extraction mechanism was proposed in terms of formation of mixed aggregates to capture the analyte. Limit of detection was found to be 7 μg kg-1, while linear range of 20-250 μg kg-1 was established. Relative standard deviation values were lower than 7 %. Relative bias did not exceed 12 %.

Hydrophobic binary mixtures containing amphotericin B as lipophilic solutions for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Int J Pharm 2024; 662:124486.

Abstract
Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania parasites, requires treatments with fewer side effects than those currently available. The development of a topical solution based on amphotericin B (AmB) was pursued. The considerable interest in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their remarkable advantages inspired the search for a suitable hydrophobic excipient. Various mixtures based on commonly used hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) and acceptors (HBAs) for DES preparations were explored. Initial physical and in-vitro screenings showed the potential of quaternary phosphonium salt-based mixtures. Through thermal analysis, it was determined that most of these mixtures did not exhibit eutectic behavior. X-ray scattering studies revealed a sponge-like nanoscale structure. The most promising formulation, based on a combination of trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride and 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol, showed no deleterious effects through histological evaluation. AmB was fully solubilized at concentrations between 0.5 and 0.8 mg·mL-1, depending on the formulation. The monomeric state of AmB was observed by circular dichroism. In-vitro irritation tests demonstrated acceptable viability for AmB-based formulations up to 0.5 mg·mL-1. Additionally, an ex-vivo penetration study on pig ear skin revealed no transcutaneous passage, confirming AmB retention in healthy, unaffected skin.

Abstract
Aiming at shedding light on the molecular interactions in deep eutectic solvents (DESs), the DESs based on tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and carboxylic acids (CAs) (formic acid (FA), oxalic acid (OA), and malonic acid (MA)) as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) were investigated by both experimental and theoretical techniques. The thermal behaviors of the prepared DESs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. In order to study the hydrogen bond formation between the DESs constituents, the FT-IR analysis was carried out. The large positive deviations of the iso solvent activity lines of ternary HBA + HBD + 2-propanol mixtures determined by the isopiestic technique from the semi-ideal behavior indicate that CAs interact strongly with TBAB and therefore they can form DESs. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to present an atomic-scale image of the components and describe the microstructure of DESs. From the MD simulations, the radial distribution functions (RDFs), coordination numbers (CNs), combined distribution functions (CDFs), and spatial distribution functions (SDFs) were calculated to investigate the interaction between the components and three-dimensional visualization of the DESs. The obtained results confirmed the importance of hydrogen bonds in the formation of TBAB/CAs DESs.

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.

Effects of ultrasonic-assisted natural deep eutectic solvent on the extraction rate, stability and antifungal ability of polyphenols from Cabernet Sauvignon seeds. Food Res Int 2024; 191:114674.

Abstract
Ultrasonic-assisted extraction using a natural deep eutectic solvent (UAE-NADES) is an efficient method for extracting grape seed polyphenols (GSPs). In this study, response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction of GSPs with UAE-NADES, and the theoretical extraction rate of GSPs was 139.014 mg GAE/g, the actual extraction rate was 135.78 ± 1.3 mg GAE/g. A pseudo-second-order kinetic extraction fitting was established to simulate the extraction process and mechanism (R2 > 0.99). Analysis of antioxidant capacity, Fourier-infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed that UAE-NADES works synergetically to maintain the stability of extracted GSPs. The results of high-performance liquid chromatography showed that catechin (41.14 mg/g) is the main component of GSPs in the extract. The UAE-NADES extraction of GSPs can inhibit the growth of Alternaria alternata at 0.25 mg GAE/g, while the GSPs extracted by other methods can effectively inhibit the growth of Alternaria alternata at 0.35 mg GAE/g. Thus, this study demonstrates that UAE-NADES is a high-efficiency means of extracting GSPs and, in a wider sense, is a promising extraction technology for the green utilization of waste resources.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are green alternatives for conventional solvents. They have gained attention for their potential to extract valuable compounds from biomass, such as seaweed. In this framework, a case study was developed to assess the feasibility of pressure-driven membrane processes as an efficient tool for the recovery of deep eutectic solvents and targeted biomolecules. For this purpose, a mixture composed of the DES choline chloride - ethylene glycol (ChCl-EG) 1:2, water and alginate was made to mimic a DES extraction from seaweed. An integrated separation process design was proposed where ultrafiltration-diafiltration-nanofiltration (UF-DF-NF) was coupled. UF and DF were found to be effective for the separation of alginate with an 85 % yield. DES was likewise recovered by 93 %, proving the membrane filtrations' technical feasibility. The NF performance to separate the DES from the water, for its recycling, laid by a 45 %-50 % retention and a final concentrated DES solution of 18 %(v/v).

Abstract
Addressing the conflict between achieving elevated mechanical stretchability and environmental adaptability is significant to a breakthrough in the practical application of flexible wearable materials. Therefore, inspired by the perceptive and protective properties of human skin, flexible wearable electronic skins (E-skins) based on deep eutectic solvent (DES) liquid and multiresponse eutectogel have been widely considered to be a promising platform for building a flexible wearable management system to achieve the purpose of "one stone, two birds". In this work, a multifunctional E-skin was designed based on an ultrastretchable, transparent, self-adhesive, and environmentally tolerant eutectogel by first incorporating cationized modified chitin nanocrystals into a covalently cross-linked polymer network comprised of the skeleton formed by a PAA polymerization network structure serving as a stretchable matrix and filled with DESs (ChCl:EG). The obtained eutectogel exhibits superhigh stretchability (up to 6707%), high toughness (17.7 MJ/m3), mechanical strength (0.48 MPa), self-adhesive, and high transparency (91.2%). Simultaneously, the multisignal sensor based on the above comprehensive properties and thermosensitive capacity exhibits a wide monitoring range, high strain/compression/temperature sensitivity, and good reproducibility. Remarkably, the sensor could be attached to rat hearts without glue or stickers for long-term monitoring of high-quality in vivo heartbeat signals. In this way, it is believed that the designed E-skin system based on eutectogel has great potential to serve as a promising platform for the next generation of flexible multisignal monitoring integrated wearable management systems.

Abstract
We have carried out a comparative study on three sets of eutectic mixtures based on choline chloride (ChCl) and hydroxyphenol isomers having two hydroxyl groups in the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions of the aromatic ring, namely catechol (Cate), resorcinol (Reso), and hydroquinone (Hydro), respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry highlighted a different thermal behavior of the mixtures depending on the composition and precursor isomerism. These systems behave as deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with the exception of the ChCl/Cate mixture at a 1 : 0.75 molar ratio, the ChCl/Reso mixtures at 1 : 2 and 1 : 3 molar ratios, and the ChCl/Hydro mixture at a 1 : 3 molar ratio. Infrared spectroscopy measurements and molecular dynamics simulations show that the stronger hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) in the mixed states compared to the pure precursors is key for the formation of a DES. This interaction is mostly reliant on interconnected chloride anion coordination shells thanks to the two hydroxyl groups of the hydroxyphenol molecules, which can bridge between different anions to form an extended H-bond network. This structural arrangement maximizes the interactions and is enhanced by the 1 : 0.75 and 1 : 1 molar ratios, while increasing the hydroxyphenol concentration translates into a lowering of the total number of H-bonds formed in the mixture. This is the basis for the different thermal behavior and points to nearly equimolar compositions between the components, as ideally suited to achieve a DES from these precursors. The obtained insights are able to explain the structure-property relationships for the studied systems and are deemed useful for more conscious development of these inherently tuneable solvents.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have tremendous potential for reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2 due to their wide electrochemical stability window, low volatility, and high CO2 solubility. There is environmental and economic interest in the direct utilization of the captured CO2 using electrified and modular processes that forgo the thermal- or pressure-swing regeneration steps to concentrate CO2, eliminating the need to compress, transport, or store the gas. The conventional electrochemical conversion of CO2 with aqueous electrolytes presents limited CO2 solubility and high energy requirement to achieve industrially relevant products. Additionally, aqueous systems have competitive hydrogen evolution. In the past decade, there has been significant progress toward the design of ILs and DESs, and their composites to separate CO2 from dilute streams. In parallel, but not necessarily in synergy, there have been studies focused on a few select ILs and DESs for electrochemical reduction of CO2, often diluting them with aqueous or non-aqueous solvents. The resulting electrode-electrolyte interfaces present a complex speciation for RCC. In this review, we describe how the ILs and DESs are tuned for RCC and specifically address the CO2 chemisorption and electroreduction mechanisms. Critical bulk and interfacial properties of ILs and DESs are discussed in the context of RCC, and the potential of these electrolytes are presented through a techno-economic evaluation.

Abstract
This study introduces an alternative approach towards lignocellulosic biomass fractionation. For this purpose, reactive eutectic media (REM) based on ammonium formate and different organic acids are investigated, possible products are identified, and the REM are employed for lignin extraction and terminal isolation of cellulose pulp from beech wood. The method promises a considerable process intensification by simultaneous separation of high purity cellulose pulp, lignin isolation as a cationically modified species, and production of value-added chemicals from reaction products of the REM. This study puts a further focus on the generated cellulose pulp and investigates it with respect to surface charge and fiber length.

Abstract
In this work, a green, efficient and catalyst-free synthesis of a series of structurally novel (E)-diethyl 2-styrylquinoline-3,4-dicarboxylates via a direct olefination reaction between diethyl 2-methylquinoline-3,4-dicarboxylate and various aromatic aldehydes was successfully accomplished by employing eco-friendly 1,3-dimethylurea/l-(+)-tartaric acid (DMU/LTA) as an inexpensive, non-toxic and reusable reaction medium. This methodology has the attractive advantages of mild reaction conditions, simple experimental operation, and the absence of any dangerous catalysts or unsafe volatile organic solvents, with satisfactory to good yields. Subsequently, a primary in vitro evaluation for their anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines A549, HT29 and T24 revealed that the compound with the 3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl moiety exhibited potent anti-tumor activity with IC50 values of 2.38, 4.52 and 9.86 μmol L-1, respectively, thereby being equipotent or even better than the reference cisplatin.

Abstract
This research paper investigates the electrocatalytic mechanisms and ultra-trace detection abilities of uranyl ions (UO22+) using palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) electrodeposited in deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The unique properties of DESs, such as their adjustable viscosity and ionic conductivity, offer an advantageous and environmentally friendly medium for Pd nanoparticle electrodeposition, resulting in highly active and stable electrocatalysts. Various characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to examine the morphology, size distribution, and crystallographic structure of the Pd nanoparticles. Electrochemical tests revealed that the Pd-modified electrodes show exceptional electrocatalytic activity and current sensitivity towards uranyl ions, with detection limits as low as 3.4 nM. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of the electrocatalytic reduction of UO22+ by the PdNPs, providing a plausible explanation for the high sensitivity of PdNPs in detecting uranyl ions based on the calculated structural parameters and reaction energetics. This study underscores the potential of Pd nanoparticles electrodeposited in DESs as a promising method for sensitive uranyl ion detection, contributing to advancements in environmental monitoring and nuclear safety.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) emerge as promising alternatives to conventional solvents, offering outstanding extraction capabilities, low toxicity, eco-friendliness, straightforward synthesis procedures, broad applicability, and impressive recyclability. DES are synthesized by combining two or more components through various synthesis procedures, such as heat-assisted mixing/stirring, grinding, freeze drying, and evaporation. Polysaccharides, as abundant natural materials, are highly valued for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and sustainability. These versatile biopolymers can be derived from various natural sources such as plants, algae, animals, or microorganisms using diverse extraction techniques. This review explores the synthesis procedures of DES, their physicochemical properties, characterization analysis, and their application in polysaccharide extraction. The extraction optimization strategies, parameters affecting DES-based polysaccharide extraction, and separation mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. Additionally, this review provides insights into recently developed molecular guides for DES screening and the utilization of artificial neural networks for optimizing DES-based extraction processes. DES serve as excellent extraction media for polysaccharides from different sources, preserving their functional features. They are utilized both as extraction solvents and as supporting media to enhance the extraction abilities of other solvents. Continued research aims to improve DES-based extraction methods and achieve selective, energy-efficient processes to meet the demands of this expanding field.

Abstract
This study explored the preparation of a novel composite hydrogel based on deep eutectic solvent (DES) with lysine (Lys) and its application in pressure sensing and Fe3+ adsorption. DES was synthesized from acrylamide (AM) and urea (U) as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) with choline chloride (ChCl) as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), and Lys was used as a functional filler, and Lys/P(AM-U-ChCl) composite hydrogels were successfully prepared by frontal polymerization (FP) method. The structure of the hydrogels was characterized in depth using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of Lys content on the mechanical properties, pH-responsive behavior, pressure-sensitive properties, and Fe3+ adsorption capacity of the hydrogels were further analyzed. It was found that the introduction of Lys significantly improved the compressive and pressure-sensitive properties of the hydrogels. The composite hydrogels exhibited excellent swelling equilibrium rates at different pH values. The capacitance change of the hydrogel with 0.5 wt% Lys at 200 g pressure was 2.12-fold higher than that of the hydrogel without Lys addition, and the adsorption efficiency of the hydrogel for Fe3+ was greatly enhanced. This study provides a new idea for the functionalized design of composite hydrogels and demonstrates their great application prospects in high-performance pressure sensors and heavy metal ion adsorption.

Abstract
Cobalt has a vital role in the manufacturing of reliable and sustainable clean energy technologies. However, the forecasted supply deficit for cobalt is likely to reach values of 150 kT by 2030. Therefore, it is paramount to consider end-of-life devices as secondary resources for cobalt. Electrorecovery of cobalt from leached solutions has attracted attention due to the sustainability of the recovery process over solvent extraction followed by chemical precipitation. Recently, we reported Co electrorecovery from two different cobalt sources (CoCl2·6H2O and CoSO4·7H2O) using ethylene glycol : choline chloride (EG : ChCl) in a 4.5 : 1 molar ratio, leading to higher purity and easier electrodeposition when sulfate was present as an additive. Here, Co2+ speciation is reported for the two EG : ChCl systems depending on the cobalt source using several spectroscopic techniques (e.g. NMR, EPR, FTIR) in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. Monodentate coordination of SO42- to Co2+, forming the tetrahedral [CoCl3(SO4)]3- was observed as the dominant structure in the system containing CoSO4·7H2O, whereas the system comprising CoCl2·6H2O shows a homoleptic tetrahedral [CoCl4]2- as the dominant structure. This resulted in knowledge being gained regarding Co2+ speciation and the correlation with electrochemistry will contribute to the science required for designing safe electrolytes for efficient electrorecovery.

Abstract
Driven by escalating environmental concerns, synthetic chemistry faces an urgent need for a green revolution. Green chemistry, with its focus on low environmental impacting chemicals and minimized waste production, emerges as a powerful tool in addressing this challenge. Metrics such as the E-factor guide the design of environmentally friendly strategies for chemical processes by quantifying the waste generated in obtaining target products, thus enabling interventions to minimize it. Phthalocyanines (Pcs), versatile molecules with exceptional physical and chemical properties, hold immense potential for technological applications. This review aims to bridge the gap between green chemistry and phthalocyanine synthesis by collecting the main examples of environmentally sustainable syntheses documented in the literature. The calculation of the E-factor of a selection of them provides insights on how crucial it is to evaluate a synthetic process in its entirety. This approach allows for a better evaluation of the actual sustainability of the phthalocyanine synthetic process and indicates possible strategies to improve it.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) at different molar ratios and temperatures as a green and efficient approach for microfibers (MFs) extraction. Our approach entailed the utilization of Firmiana simplex bark (FSB) fibers, enabling the production of different dimensions of FSB microfibers (FSBMFs) by combining DES pretreatment and mechanical disintegration technique. The proposed practice demonstrates the simplicity and effectiveness of the method. The morphology of the prepared microfibers was studied using the Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) technique. Additionally, the results revealed that the chemical and mechanical treatments did not significantly alter the well-preserved cellulose structure of microfibers, and a crystallinity index of 56.6 % for FSB fibers and 63.8 % for FSBMFs was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, using the freeze-drying technique, FSBMFs in water solutions produced effective aerogels for air purification application. In comparison to commercial mask (CM), FSBMF aerogels' superior hierarchical cellular architectures allowed them to attain excellent filtration efficiencies of 94.48 % (PM10) and 91.51 % (PM2.5) as well as excellent degradation properties were analyzed. The findings show that FSBMFs can be extracted from Firmiana simplex bark, a natural cellulose-rich material, using DES for environmentally friendly aerogel preparation and applications.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is an abundant renewable bio-macromolecular complex, which can be used to produce biomethane and other high-value products. The lignin, presents in lignocellulose is typically regarded as an inhibitor of anaerobic digestion. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a novel selective separation strategy to achieve efficient biomethane production and all-component utilization of biomass. Hence, a combination of two-step pretreatment and solid-state anaerobic digestion was employed to enhance the production of biomethane and to generate valuable chemicals from poplar waste. Optimal conditions (4 % acetic acid, 170 °C, and 40 min) resulted in 70.85 % xylan removal, yielding 50.28 % xylo-oligosaccharides. The effect of a strong acid 4-CSA-based novel three-constituent DES on delignification was investigated from 80 °C to 100 °C; the cellulose content of DES pretreated poplar increased from 64.11 % to 80.92 %, and the delignification rate increased from 49.0 % to 90.4 %. However, high delignification of the pretreated poplar (DES-100 and DES-110) led to a rapid accumulation of volatile organic acids during the hydrolysis and acidogenesis stages, resulting in methanogenesis inhibition. The highest biomethane yield of 208 L/kg VS was achieved with DES-80 (49.0 % delignification), representing a 148 % improvement compared over untreated poplar. This approach demonstrates the potential for comprehensive utilization of all components of biomass waste.

Monte Carlo, molecular dynamic, and experimental studies of the removal of malachite green using g-C 3N 4/ZnO/Chitosan nanocomposite in the presence of a deep eutectic solvent. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133378.

Abstract
Deep-eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as promising candidates for preparing nanocomposites. In this study, a DES-based graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/ZnO/Chitosan (Ch) nanocomposite was synthesized to remove malachite green (MG) dye from water. The DES was prepared by mixing and heating citric acid as a hydrogen bond acceptor and lactic acid as a hydrogen bond donor. This is the first report of the removal of MG using DES-based nanocomposites. Experiments on kinetics and isothermal adsorption were conducted to systematically explore the adsorption performances of nanocomposite toward dye. At 25 °C, the highest adsorption performance was obtained with alkaline media (>90 % removal). The greatest adsorption capacity (qm) was 59.52 mg g-1 at conditions (30 mg L-1 MG solution, pH 9, 3 mg nanocomposite per 10 mL of MG solution, 25 °C, 150 rpm, and 150 min) based on the calculation from the best-fitting isotherm model (Langmuir). The adsorption process was most appropriately kinetically described by the PSO model. The Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamic (MC) results are correlated with experimental findings to validate the theoretical predictions and enhance the overall understanding of the adsorption process. Electronic structure calculations reveal the nature of interactions, including hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces, between the nanocomposite and MG molecules.

Abstract
The ever-increasing importance of critical metals (CMs) in modern society underscores their resource security and circularity. Waste-printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are particularly attractive reservoirs of CMs due to their gamut CM embedding and ubiquitous presence. However, the recovery of most CMs is out of reach from current metal-centric recycling industries, resulting in a flood loss of refined CMs. Here, 41 types of such spent CMs are identified. To deliver a higher level of CM sustainability, this work provides an insightful overview of paradigm-shifting pathways for CM recovery from WPCBs that have been developed in recent years. As a crucial starting entropy-decreasing step, various strategies of metal enrichment are compared, and the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperspectral sensing is highlighted. Then, tailored metal recycling schemes are presented for the platinum group, rare earth, and refractory metals, with emphasis on greener metallurgical methods contributing to transforming CMs into marketable products. In addition, due to the vital nexus of CMs between the environment and energy sectors, the upcycling of CMs into electro-/photo-chemical catalysts for green fuel synthesis is proposed to extend the recycling chain. Finally, the challenges and outlook on this all-round upgrading of WPCB recycling are outlined.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to achieve strong and reversible hydrogel adhesion. Hydrogel adhesives also suffer from poor environmental stability due to dehydration. To overcome these problems, here reversible adhesive gels are designed using a new switching mechanism and new solvent. For the first time, the study observes UCST (upper critical solution temperature)-type thermosensitive behaviors of poly(benzyl acrylate) (PBnA) polymer and gel in menthol:thymol deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The temperature-induced phase transition allows adjusting cohesive force, and hence adhesion strength of PBnA gels by temperature. To further improve the mechanical and adhesion properties, a peptide crosslinker is used to allow energy dissipation when deforming. The resulting eutectogel exhibits thermal reversible adhesion with a high switching ratio of 14.0. The adhesion strength at attachment state reaches 0.627 MPa, which is much higher than most reversible adhesive hydrogels reported before. The low vapor pressure of DES endows the gel excellent environmental stability. More importantly, the gel can be repeatedly switched between attachment and detachment states. The strong and reversible gel adhesive is successfully used to design soft gripper for the transport of heavy cargos and climbing robot capable of moving on vertical and inverted surface in a manner similar to gecko.

Abstract
Citrus fruits (CF) are highly consumed worldwide, fresh, processed, or prepared as juices and pies. To illustrate the high economic importance of CF, the global production of these commodities in 2021 was around 98 million tons. CF's composition is considered an excellent source of phenolic compounds (PC) as they have a large amount and variety. Since ancient times, PC has been highlighted to promote several benefits related to oxidative stress disorders, such as chronic diseases and cancer. Recent studies suggest that consuming citrus fruits can prevent some of these diseases. However, due to the complexity of citrus matrices, extracting compounds of interest from these types of samples, and identifying and quantifying them effectively, is not a simple task. In this context, several extractive and analytical proposals have been used. This review discusses current research involving CF, focusing mainly on PC extraction and analysis methods, regarding advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of Green Chemistry.

Abstract
To address the challenges of low recovery, prolonged extraction times, and environmental pollution caused by toxic solvents in traditional extraction methods, magnetic bead-enhanced deep eutectic solvent mechanochemical extraction was developed for extracting natural products from orange peels. The extraction efficiencies of deep eutectic solvents were experimentally evaluated, and theoretical methods were used to guide solvent selection. Choline chloride-ethylene glycol demonstrated the highest efficiency under the optimal extraction conditions: a molar ratio of 1:2, no water content, a solid-liquid ratio of 0.08 g/mL, and an extraction time of 60 s. The synergy between the deep eutectic solvent and magnetic bead-enhanced the mechanochemical extraction efficiencies. The study also examined the effects of different magnetic bead types and orange peel powder particle sizes on extraction efficiency, finding that a 0.11 mm particle size combined with CIP@SiO2 yielded the best results. Overall, this study holds promise as an environmentally friendly and efficient extraction method.

Abstract
The flexible electronic sensor is a critical component of wearable devices, generally requiring high stretchability, excellent transmittance, conductivity, self-healing capability, and strong adhesion. However, designing ion-conducting elastomers meeting all these requirements simultaneously remains a challenge. In this study, a novel approach is presented to fabricate highly stretchable, transparent, and self-healing ion-conducting elastomers, which are synthesized via photo-polymerization of two polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) monomers, i.e., methacrylic acid (MAA)/choline chloride (ChCl) and itaconic acid (IA)/ChCl. The as-prepared ion-conducting elastomers possess outstanding properties, including high transparency, conductivity, and the capability to adhere to various substrates. The elastomers also demonstrate ultra-stretchability (up to 3900%) owing to a combination of covalent cross-linking and noncovalent cross-linking. In addition, the elastomers can recover up to 3250% strain and over 94.5% of their original conductivity after self-healing at room temperature for 5 min, indicating remarkable mechanical and conductive self-healing abilities. When utilized as strain sensors to monitor real-time motion of human fingers, wrist, elbow, and knee joints, the elastomers exhibit stable and strong repetitive electrical signals, demonstrating excellent sensing performance for large-scale movements of the human body. It is anticipated that these ion-conducting elastomers will find promising applications in flexible and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Coinage metals Cu, Ag, and Au are essential for modern electronics and their recycling from waste materials is becoming increasingly important to guarantee the security of their supply. Designing new sustainable and selective procedures that would substitute currently used processes is crucial. Here, we describe an unprecedented approach for the sequential dissolution of single metals from Cu, Ag, and Au mixtures using biomass-derived ionic solvents and green oxidants. First, Cu can be selectively dissolved in the presence of Ag and Au with a choline chloride/urea/H2O2 mixture, followed by the dissolution of Ag in lactic acid/H2O2. Finally, the metallic Au, which is not soluble in either solution above, is dissolved in choline chloride/urea/Oxone. Subsequently, the metals were simply and quantitatively recovered from dissolutions, and the solvents were recycled and reused. The applicability of the developed approach was demonstrated by recovering metals from electronic waste substrates such as printed circuit boards, gold fingers, and solar panels. The dissolution reactions and selectivity were explored with different analytical techniques and DFT calculations. We anticipate our approach will pave a new way for the contemporary and sustainable recycling of multi-metal waste substrates.

Abstract
Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer, is a by-product of the biorefinery and pulp and paper industries. This study was undertaken to evaluate the properties and estimate the prospects of using lignin as a by-product of the pretreatment of common reed straw (Phragmites australis) with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) of various compositions: choline chloride/oxalic acid (ChCl/OA), choline chloride/lactic acid (ChCl/LA), and choline chloride/monoethanol amine (ChCl/EA). The lignin samples, hereinafter referred to as Lig-OA, Lig-LA, and Lig-EA, were obtained as by-products after optimizing the conditions of reed straw pretreatment with DESs in order to improve the efficiency of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. The lignin was studied using gel penetration chromatography, UV-vis, ATR-FTIR, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; its antioxidant activity was assessed, and the UV-shielding properties of lignin/polyvinyl alcohol composite films were estimated. The DES composition had a significant impact on the structure and properties of the extracted lignin. The lignin's ability to scavenge ABTS+• and DPPH• radicals, as well as the efficiency of UV radiation shielding, decreased as follows: Lig-OA > Lig-LA > Lig-EA. The PVA/Lig-OA and PVA/Lig-LA films with a lignin content of 4% of the weight of PVA block UV radiation in the UVA range by 96% and 87%, respectively, and completely block UV radiation in the UVB range.

Abstract
The utilization and economic benefits of biomass resources can be maximized through rational design and process optimization. In this study, an innovative approach for the simultaneous extraction of essential oil and lignin from Cinnamomum camphora leaves by deep eutectic solvent (DES) and optimization of the process parameters was achieved using deep learning tools. With the water content of 40 %, liquid-solid ratio of 9.00 mL/g, and distillation time of 51.81 min, the yields of the essential oil and lignin reached 3.15 ± 0.02 % and 9.75 ± 0.15 %, respectively. Notably, the efficiency of simultaneous extraction of essential oil improved by 23 % compared to that of traditional steam distillation. Moreover, the extraction mechanism of the process was clarified. The connection between lignin with cellulose and hemicellulose was disintegrated by the DES, resulting in lignin shedding and hence accelerating the dissolution of essential oil. Moreover, the compositions of lignin and essential oil were also identified.

Abstract
In this study, a new green method was developed for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives using electrochemical bisarylation reaction in deep eutectic solvents as a green alternative to traditional solvents and electrolytes. The effects of varying time, current, type of solvent and material of electrodes were all studied. The optimum reaction conditions involved the use of ethylene glycol/choline chloride with a ratio of 2:1 at 80 °C for 45 min. Graphite and platinum were used as cathode and anode, respectively. The newly developed method offered many advantages such as using mild reaction conditions, short reaction time and affording high product yields with a wide range of substituted aromatic aldehydes bearing electron donating or electron withdrawing substituents. In addition, the electrochemical method proved to be more effective than heating in deep eutectic solvents and afforded higher yields of products in shorter reaction time. The mechanism of the electrochemical reaction was proposed and confirmed using the cyclic voltammetry study.

Abstract
Betaine-30 (B30) was reported by Karl Dimroth and Christian Reichardt et al. in 1963 as a solvatochromic probe that can be easily synthesized, shows good solubility, and remains stable in various organic solvents and solutions. Its strongly negatively solvatochromic behavior arises from differential solvation between its electronic ground and excited states, making it a valuable tool for assessing solvent polarity using the ET(30) polarity scale, also devised by Dimroth and Reichardt. In addition, advancements in femtosecond laser spectroscopy in the 1990s greatly improved the understanding of B30's relaxation dynamics following photoexcitation. In solvents capable of hydrogen bonding, such as alcohols, intermolecular hydrogen-bond rearrangement contributes to the multiple relaxation components observed. Since the 1990s, the applications of B30 have expanded beyond simple organic solvents to include complex solvent mixtures, such as electrolyte solutions for battery technologies and eutectic solvent mixtures. Given the growing importance of these complex solvent mixtures, B30 is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for studying previously unexplored solvation properties.

Abstract
Absolute qualifications with the application of protic ionic liquids (PILs) and a recognition of the numerous thermophysical features of these materials are required in various processes. Due to the wonderful applications of these compounds and their high potential in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, there is a particular eagerness to utilize these PILs in drug solubility and delivery area. The aim of this investigation was to explore the solubility of the acetaminophen (ACP) in three PILs base on ethanolamine laurate [(2-hydroxyethylammonium laurate [MEA]La), (bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [DEA]La), and ( tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [TEA]La)]. The shake flask method has been employed in this study, and the conditions were set at T = (298.15-313.15) K and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the experimental solubility data was correlated using a variety of empirical and thermodynamic models, encompassing e-NRTL and Wilson activity coefficient models and the empirical models such as Van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree and Modified Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree. Their performance for the system containing [MEA]La follow the trend for activity coefficient models and empirical respectively: the Wilson > e-NRTL and Modified Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree > Van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree. On the other hand, [DEA]La and [TEA]La PILs followed slightly different trend for activity coefficient models and empirical respectively: the Wilson > e-NRTL and Van't Hoff-uyban-Acree > Modified Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree. The Van't Hoff and Gibbs equations were used to determine the thermodynamic properties of dissolution in the studied systems.

Abstract
Over the past decade, deep eutectic systems (DES) have become popular, yet their potential toxicity to living organisms is not well understood. This study fills this gap by examining the toxicity, antibacterial activity and biodegradability of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA)-based DESs prepared from ammonium or phosphonium salts. Brine shrimp assays revealed varying toxicity levels of PTSA and salts. Allyltriphenylphosphonium bromide showing the longest survival time among all tested salts while PTSA exhibited a significantly longer duration of cell survival compared to other hydrogen bond donors. PTSA and ammonium salts (N,N-diethylethanolammonium chloride and choline chloride) as individual components showed non-toxic behavior for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria while different PTSA-based DESs showed significant inhibition zones. Fish acute ecotoxicity tests indicated moderately toxicity for individual components and DESs, though higher concentrations increased fish mortality, highlighting the need for careful handling and disposal of PTSA-based DESs to the environment. Biodegradability analyses found all tested DESs to be readily biodegradable and it was reported that, DES 3 prepapred form PTSA and choline chloride has the highest biodegradability level. Notably, all tested DESs showed over 60 % biodegradability after 28 days. This groundbreaking study explores PTSA-based DESs, highlighting their biodegradability and potential use as antibacterial agents. Results revealed that PTSA as individual component is much better from toxicity point of view in comparison with PTSA-based DESs for any further industrial applications.

Abstract
Eutectogels have garnered considerable attention for the development of wearable devices, owing to their inherent mechanical elasticity, ionic conductivity, affordability, and environmental compatibility. However, the low conductivity of existing eutectogels has impeded their progression in electronic applications. Here, we report a zwitterionic eutectogel with an impressive ionic conductivity of up to 15.7 mS cm-1. The incorporation of zwitterionic groups into the eutectogel creates ample mobile charges by dissociating the cation and anion of solvents, thereby yielding exceptional ionic conductivity. Moreover, the abundant electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions within the eutectogel endow it with prominent self-healing and adhesive properties. By integrating the eutectogel with a roughly patterned polydimethylsiloxane film, we have successfully constructed a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with a maximum output power density of 112 mW m-2. This TENG is capable of generating stable electrical signals even in extreme temperature conditions ranging from -80 to 100 °C and effectively powering electronic devices. Furthermore, the assembled TENG displays high sensitivity as a self-powered sensor, enabling real-time and precise monitoring of signals derived from human motions. This study establishes a promising approach for the development of sustainable and multifunctional flexible electronics that are resilient in extreme environments.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Large macroscopic assemblies formed by a surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), and glycerol, can be directed to assemble in a hierarchical manner by the addition of a strong hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor, such as urea. CONTEXT Self-assembly in complex media is important to a range of applications, for instance in biological media, which are multi-component, to industrial formulations, where additives are present for flavour, texture, and preservation. Here, the gelation and self-assembly of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in glycerol is explored in the presence of an additive, urea. Urea was chosen due to its importance both fundamentally and industrially, but also because of its ability to form strong H-bonds and interact with both glycerol and SDS. EXPERIMENTAL To cover the variety of length scales present in the gel-like phase, a combination of optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were used to probe the micro- to nanoscale. FINDINGS On the microscale, the formation of a spectacular spherulite phase, even at low urea contents - 0.1 wt%, upon cooling was observed, a stark difference to the microfibrillar phase observed in the absence of urea. Interestingly, the nanostructure of the two crystalline phases were similar and showed negligible differences. This suggests that urea is not involved in the SDS/glycerol microfibril formation but instead directs the assembly of spherulites by bundling the microfibrils. These ternary systems are also probed as a function of urea content, SDS concentration, and temperature. The observations in this work highlight the importance of small molecules in the self-assembly process, which is relevant both fundamentally but also industrially, where small molecules are often added to formulations.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are attracting considerable attention as non-conventional media for electrodeposition processes. This opinion contribution discusses the debated nature and definition of these solvents as well as some practical considerations of relevance when performing electrodeposition studies in DESs. Using a few illustrative case studies, it is shown that speciation is a key factor determining the electrochemical behaviour of chemical elements in different DESs, and that accounting for the speciation strong similarities can often be found with more conventional or more documented solvents. The need for thermodynamic data is emphasised and it is suggested to expand the composition range of these solvents beyond fixed ratios between the components to exploit the full potentialities of DESs.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have received extensive attention in green chemistry because of their ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and low toxicity. Pickering emulsions offer advantages such as long-term stability, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. The oil phase in some Pickering emulsions is composed of solvents, and DESs can serve as a more effective alternative to these solvents. The combination of DESs and Pickering emulsions can improve the applications of green chemistry by reducing the use of harmful chemicals and enhancing sustainability. In this study, a Pickering emulsion consisting of a DES (menthol:octanoic acid = 1:1) in water was prepared and stabilized using starch nanoparticles (SNPs). The emulsion was thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including optical microscopy, transmission microscopy, laser particle size analysis, and rheological measurements. The results demonstrated that the DES-in-water Pickering emulsion stabilized by the SNPs had excellent stability and retained its structural integrity for more than 200 days at room temperature (20 °C). This prolonged stability has significant implications for many applications, particularly in the field of storage and transportation. This Pickering emulsion based on DESs and SNPs is sustainable and stable, and it has great potential to improve green chemistry practices in various fields.

Abstract
Genotoxic impurities (GTIs) are potential carcinogens that need to be controlled down to ppm or lower concentration levels in pharmaceuticals under strict regulations. The static headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) coupled with electron capture detection (ECD) is an effective approach to monitor halogenated and nitroaromatic genotoxins. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) possess tunable physico-chemical properties and low vapor pressure for HS-GC methods. In this study, zwitterionic and non-ionic DESs have been used for the first time to develop and validate a sensitive analytical method for the analysis of 24 genotoxins at sub-ppm concentrations. Compared to non-ionic diluents, zwitterionic DESs produced exceptional analytical performance and the betaine : 7 (1,4- butane diol) DES outperformed the betaine : 5 (1,4-butane diol) DES. Limits of detection (LOD) down to the 5-ppb concentration level were achieved in DESs. Wide linear ranges spanning over 5 orders of magnitude (0.005-100 µg g-1) were obtained for most analytes with exceptional sensitivities and high precision. The method accuracy and precision were validated using 3 commercially available drug substances and excellent recoveries were obtained. This study broadens the applicability of HS-GC in the determination of less volatile GTIs by establishing DESs as viable diluent substitutes for organic solvents in routine pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
The introduction of phosphorus and nitrogen atoms in carbo-catalysts is a common way to tune the electronic density, and thereby the reactivity, of the material, as well as to introduce surface reactive sites. Numerous environments are reported for the N atoms, but the P-doping chemistry is less explored and focuses on surface POx groups. A one-step synthesis of P/N-doped carbonaceous materials is presented here, using affordable and industrially available urea and tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (THPC) as the N and P sources, respectively. In contrast to most of the synthetic pathways toward P-doped carbonaceous materials, the THPC precursor only displays P-C bonds along the carbon backbone. This resulted in unusual phosphorus environments for the materials obtained from direct thermal treatment of THPC-urea, presumably of type C-P-N according to 31P NMR and XPS. Alternatively, the in situ polymerization and calcination of the precursors were run in calcium chloride hydrate, used as a combined reaction medium and porogen agent. Following this salt-templating strategy led to particularly high phosphorus contents (up to 18 wt%), associated with porosities up to 600 m2 g-1. The so-formed P/N-doped porous materials were employed as metal-free catalysts for the mild oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles to N-heteroarenes at room temperature and in air.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have captured significant attention as an emergent class of solvents that have unique properties and applications in differing fields of chemistry. One area where DES systems find utility is the design of polymeric gels, often referred to as "eutectogels," which can be prepared either using a DES to replace a traditional solvent, or where monomers form part of the DES themselves. Due to the extensive network of intramolecular interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding) and ionic species that exist in DES systems, polymeric eutectogels often possess appealing material properties-high adhesive strength, tuneable viscosity, rapid polymerization kinetics, good conductivity, as well as high strength and flexibility. In addition, non-covalent crosslinking approaches are possible due to the inherent interactions that exist in these materials. This review considers several key applications of polymeric eutectogels, including organic electronics, wearable sensor technologies, 3D printing resins, adhesives, and a range of various biomedical applications. The design, synthesis, and properties of these eutectogels are discussed, in addition to the advantages of this synthetic approach in comparison to traditional gel design. Perspectives on the future directions of this field are also highlighted.

Abstract
Aqueous mixtures of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a subject of interest in recent years for their tailored physicochemical properties. However, a comprehensive understanding of water's multifaceted influence on the microscopic dynamics, including its impact on improved transport properties of the DES, remains elusive. Additionally, the diffusion mechanisms within DESs manifest heterogeneous behavior, intricately tied to the formation and dissociation kinetics of complexes and hydrogen bonds. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the intricate interplay between bond kinetics, diffusion mechanism, and dynamical heterogeneity. This work employs water as an agent to explore their relationships by studying various relaxation phenomena in a DES based on acetamide and lithium perchlorate over a wide range of water concentrations. Notably, acetamide exhibits Fickian yet non-Gaussian diffusion across all water concentrations with Fickian (τf) and Gaussian (τg) timescales following a power-law relationship, τg∝τfγ, γ ∼ 1.4. The strength of coupling between bond kinetics and different diffusion timescales is estimated through various power-law relationships. Notably, acetamide-water hydrogen bond lifetime is linked to diffusive timescales through a single power-law over the entire water concentration studied. However, the relationship between diffusive timescales and the lifetime of acetamide-lithium complexes shows a sharp transition in behavior at 20 wt. % water, reflecting a change from vehicular diffusion below this concentration to structural diffusion above it. Our findings emphasize the critical importance of understanding bond dynamics within DESs, as they closely correlate with and regulate the molecular diffusion processes within these systems.

Abstract
A novel protocatechuic acid-based deep eutectic solvent (ETPPBr/PCA-DES) was prepared by mixing ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (ETPPBr) and protocatechuic acid (PCA = 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid), and its structure was fully investigated by using the FT-IR, TGA/DTA, densitometer, eutectic point and 1H NMR techniques. Different molar ratios of ETPPBr to PCA were examined and the eutectic point phase diagram showed that the best ratio for the synthesis of the new DES is the one-to-one ratio of the two starting materials (ETPPBr and PCA). Then, the novel DES was used as a new and capable catalyst for the green synthesis of diverse 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles a1-a12 from the four-component condensation reaction of phenanthrene-9,10-dione, aromatic amine, aromatic aldehyde, and ammonium acetate with high yields and very short reaction times. High yields and very short reaction times are two advantages of our proposed method compared with the previous reported methods.

Abstract
This study presents the potential role of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in a lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction as a co-solvent in an aqueous solution given by a phosphate buffer. Ammonium salts, such as choline chloride, were paired with hydrogen bond donors, such as urea, 1,2,3-propanetriol, and 1,2 propanediol. The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl laureate was carried out with the lipase Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) as a reaction model to evaluate the solvent effect and tested in different DES/buffer phosphate mixtures at different % w/w. The results showed that two mixtures of different DES at 25 % w/w were the most promising solvents, as this percentage enhanced the activities of CALB, as evidenced by its higher catalytic efficiency (kcatKM). The solvent analysis shows that the enzymatic reaction requires a reaction media rich in water molecules to enable hydrogen-bond formation from the reaction media toward the enzymatic reaction, suggesting a better interaction between the substrate and the enzyme-active site. This interaction could be attributed to high degrees of freedom influencing the enzyme conformation given by the reaction media, suggesting that CALB acquires a more restrictive structure in the presence of DES or the stabilized network given by the hydrogen bond from water molecules in the mixture improves the enzymatic activity, conferring conformational stability by solvent effects. This study offers a promising approach for applications and further perspectives on genuinely green industrial solvents.

Abstract
A combined experimental and simulation study of dielectric relaxation (DR) of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of betaine, urea, and water with the composition [Betaine:Urea:Water = 11.7:12:1 (weight ratio) and 9:18:5 (molar ratio)] was performed to explore and understand the interaction and dynamics of this system. Temperature-dependent (303 ≤ T/K ≤ 343) measurements were performed over 9 decades of frequency, combining three different measurement setups. Measured DR, comprising four distinct steps with relaxation times spreading over a few picoseconds to several nanoseconds, was found to agree well with simulations. The simulated total DR spectra, upon dissection into three self (intraspecies) and three cross (interspecies) interaction contributions, revealed that the betaine-betaine self-term dominated (∼65%) the relaxation, while the urea-urea and water-water interactions contributed only ∼7% and ∼1%, respectively. The cross-terms (betaine-urea, betaine-water, and urea-water) together accounted for <30% of the total DR. The slowest DR component with a time constant of ∼1-10 ns derived dominant contribution from betaine-betaine interactions, where betaine-water and urea-water interactions also contributed. The subnanosecond (0.1-0.6 ns) time scale originated from all interactions except betaine-water interaction. An extensive interaction of water with betaine and urea severely reduced the average number of water-water H-bonds (∼0.7) and heavily decreased the static dielectric constant of water in this DES (εs ∼ 2). Furthermore, simulated first rank collective single particle reorientational relaxations (C1(t)) and the structural H-bond fluctuation dynamics (CHB (t)) exhibited multiexponential kinetics with time scales that corresponded well with those found both in the simulated and measured DR.

Abstract
The Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is one of the main energy storage equipment. Its cathode material contains Li, Co, and other valuable metals. Therefore, recycling spent LIBs can reduce environmental pollution and resource waste, which is significant for sustainable development. However, traditional metallurgical methods are not environmentally friendly, with high cost and environmental toxicity. Recently, the concept of green chemistry gives rise to environmental and efficient recycling technology, which promotes the transition of recycling solvents from organic solvents to green solvents represented by deep eutectic solvents (DESs). DESs are considered as ideal alternative solvents in extraction processes, attracting great attention due to their low cost, low toxicity, good biodegradability, and high extraction capacity. It is very important to develop the DESs system for LIBs recycling for sustainable development of energy and green economic development of recycling technology. In this work, the applications and research progress of DESs in LIBs recovery are reviewed, and the physicochemical properties such as viscosity, toxicity and regulatory properties are summarized and discussed. In particular, the toxicity data of DESs are collected and analyzed. Finally, the guidance and prospects for future research are put forward, aiming to explore more suitable DESs for recycling valuable metals in batteries.

Abstract
A simple, solvent-free arginine-catalyzed aldol dimerization of levulinic acid was achieved via the simultaneous formation of a eutectic mixture. Dimers of levulinic acid are valued as biomass-derived fine chemical precursors, with potential to upgrade to bio-jet fuels or N-containing functional chemicals. Typically, these dimers are produced as isomeric mixtures using high temperatures and a variety of solid inorganic catalysts or mineral acids. In this study, an organocatalytic and regioselective dimerization was achieved at 22 % conversion on either a bench or kilogram scale using mild temperatures and only L-arginine as both a co-solvent and catalyst. The intricate H-bonding network comprising the eutectic solvent was harnessed to produce only one product, minimizing side reactivity and preserving the reactants for recycling.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are complex substances composed of two or three components, wherein hydrogen bond donors and acceptors engage in intricate interactions within a hydrogen bond network. They have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their easy synthesis, cost-effectiveness, broad liquid range, good stability, and for being green and non-toxic. However, studies on the physical properties of DESs are still scarce and many theories are not perfect enough, which limits the application of DESs in engineering practice. In this study, twelve DESs were synthesized by using choline chloride and betaine as HBAs, and ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 600, o-cresol, glycerol, and lactic acid as HBDs. The variation rules of their thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature at atmospheric pressure were systematically investigated. The experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity of the 1:4 choline chloride/glycerol solvent was the largest at 294 K, reaching 0.2456 W·m-1·K-1, which could satisfy the demand for high efficiency heat transfer by heat-transferring workpieces. The temperature-viscosity relationship of the DESs was fitted using the Arrhenius model, and the maximum average absolute deviation was 6.77%.

Abstract
Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) comprised of osmolytes are of interest as potential biomolecular (cryo)protectants. However, the way these solvents influence the structure and dynamics of biomolecules as well as the role of water remains poorly understood. We carried out principal component analysis of various secondary structure elements of ubiquitin in water and a betaine : glycerol : water (1 : 2 : ζ; ζ = 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 45) NADES, from molecular dynamics trajectories, to gain insight into the protein dynamics as it undergoes a transition from a highly viscous anhydrous to an aqueous environment. A crossover of the protein's essential dynamics at ζ ∼ 5, induced by solvent-shell coupled fluctuations, is observed, indicating that ubiquitin might (re)fold in the NADES upon water addition at ζ > ∼5. Further, in contrast to water, the anhydrous NADES preserves ubiquitin's essential modes at high temperatures explaining the protein's seemingly enhanced thermal stability.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a generation of ionic liquids that benefit from low cost, good stability, and environmental-friendly features. In this research, a porous silica gel was impregnated with a eutectic Choline Chloride-Monoethanolamine solvent (ChCl-MEA) to greatly improve its CO2 capture performance. In the impregnation, the weight percentages of ChCl-MEA were used in the range of 10-60 wt% at a temperature of 25 °C. The effect of ChCl-MEA loading on the structural properties of the DES-modified silica samples was studied by BET, FTIR, and TGA analyses. Investigation of the CO2 adsorption performance at different operational conditions showed that the modified silica gel with 50 wt% ChCl-MEA (Silica-CM50) presents the highest CO2 capture capacity of 89.32 mg/g. In the kinetic modeling, the fractional order model with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 resulted in the best fit with the experimental data. In addition, the isotherm data for Silica-CM50 were well-fitted with the Dual site Langmuir isotherm model with a correlation coefficient of 0.999, representing two distinct sites for the adsorption process. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters including Enthalpy, Entropy, and Gibbs free energy at 25 °C were obtained to be - 2.770, - 0.005 and - 1.162, respectively. The results showed the exothermic, spontaneous and feasibility of the adsorption process.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop composite hydrogels with exceptional piezoelectric properties and pressure sensitivity. To achieve the objective, this study created a deep eutectic solvent (DES) by mixing choline chloride (ChCl), acrylamide (AM), and acrylic acid (AA). Barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs) were incorporated as fillers into the deep eutectic solvents (DES) to synthesize the composite hydrogels using frontal polymerization (FP). The mechanical and piezoelectric properties of the resulting composite hydrogels were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study found that the BTNPs/P(AM-co-AA) composite hydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical and piezoelectric properties. This is attributed to the high dielectric constant of BTNPs and the electrode polarization phenomenon when subjected to pressure. With a BTNPs content of 0.6 wt%, the maximum compressive strength increased by 3.68 times compared with the hydrogel without added BTNPs. Moreover, increasing the BTNPs content to 0.6 wt% resulted in a 1.48 times increase in generated voltage under the same pressure, compared with the hydrogel with only 0.2 wt% BTNPs. This study provides a method for preparing composite hydrogels with outstanding piezoelectric properties and pressure sensitivity.
