Abstract:

With the development of science and technology, environmentally friendly green chemistry has gradually become the mainstream of the times. Low-toxic, non-toxic, recyclable, and biodegradable materials have become the center of current research. Ionic liquid is a kind of liquid composed entirely of ions. It is a kind of green solvent which is odorless, non-flammable, extremely low in vapor pressure, and recyclable and can be separated from other substances easily. It also has a wide operating temperature range, good thermal and chemical stability. Deep eutectic solvents are a large class of eutectic mixtures that have many similar physical properties to ionic liquids. They are mostly liquids at room temperature. Compared with ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents have lower costs, simpler preparation methods, and better moisture resistance, which makes them more promising in industry. As an emerging research field, deep eutectic solvents have received extensive attention and research in the field of chemistry, but the research on deep eutectic solvents for functional materials for energy and environmental applications is still in the early stage of exploration. In addition to being widely used as inert media and reagents for synthesizing materials, deep eutectic solvents can also be directly used as functional materials, such as electrolytes in electrochemical energy storage devices or adsorbents in adsorption and extraction processes. Therefore, in this review the fundamentals of deep eutectic solvents and their application in the field of material chemistry, especially the application of functional materials is introduced, and the application of deep eutectic solvents in the field of antistatic is analyzed and prospected in combination with related reports.
