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

In this exclusive interview, DEScycle’s CEO, Dr. Leo Howden, outlines how deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based ionometallurgy is ...

For Dr. Emmanuel Oke, a distinguished postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Chemical and Metallurgy Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, advancing sustainable ...

Many polluting solvents used by the chemical industry can be replaced by an amazing new mixture of two powders: 'deep-eutectic solvents' (DES). This next generation of solvents are sustainable, much ...

Researchers at the private Texas-based Rice University claim they have found a method to recover strategic metals like cobalt from the large number of used lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have demonstrated a novel way of fixing cells and preserving their biomolecules prior to single cell dissociation without the need for harsh ...
