“…329 Nanoparticles of the popular kesterite semiconductor Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) with a high defect concentration were prepared by Karimi et al in their solvothermal treatment of the respective metal chlorides, using thiourea as a sulfur source, from the ChCl:urea eutectic. 330 In the ChCl:EG DES, NiS 2 nanospheres were synthesised by solvothermal treatment of nickel sulfate, sodium thiosulfate and EDTA, making it noteworthy as the only synthesis not to use thiourea as a sulfur source. 331 Similar methodologies have been used to prepare multinary and composite compounds in DES under solvothermal conditions.…”

“…Focusing on solar technologies, in the last decade, DESs have been successfully exploited for the synthesis of active materials in thin film inorganic solar cells, such as active layers of CGS (CuGaSe 2 ) [ 65 , 66 ], CIS (CuInSe 2 ) [ 67 ], CIGS (Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 ) [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ], and CZTS (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 ) [ 72 ]. A perusal of the recent literature has shown that DESs have also been successfully employed in the synthesis of active materials for water splitting, in particular to be applied in photocatalytic [ 73 ] or photoelectrochemical [ 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ] setup, or both [ 82 , 83 ].…”

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have been widely used in many fields to exploit their ecofriendly characteristics, from green synthetic procedures to environmentally benign industrial methods. In contrast, their application in emerging solar technologies, where the abundant and clean solar energy is used to properly respond to most important societal needs, is still relatively scarce. This represents a strong limitation since many solar devices make use of polluting or toxic components, thus seriously hampering their eco-friendly nature. Herein, we review the literature, mainly published in the last few years, on the use of DESs in representative solar technologies, from solar plants to last generation photovoltaics, featuring not only their passive role as green solvents, but also their active behavior arising from their peculiar chemical nature. This collection highlights the increasing and valuable role played by DESs in solar technologies, in the fulfillment of green chemistry requirements and for performance enhancement, in particular in terms of long-term temporal stability.

“…DESs have been used for the fabrication of different nanostructures, including silver nanoparticles [ 58 , 59 , 60 ], gold nanoparticles [ 61 , 62 , 63 ], magnetic nanoparticles [ 64 , 65 , 66 ], Zinc nanoparticles [ 67 ], ZnSe nanoparticles [ 68 ], CZTS nanoparticles [ 69 ], upconversion nanoparticles [ 70 , 71 ], as well as biopolymers, such as lignin nanoparticles [ 72 , 73 ] and cellulose nanoparticles [ 74 ]. DESs can dissolve many different reagents and substances, including high relative concentrations of metal salts, metal oxides, and various polymers.…”

The first report of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was released in 2003 and was identified as a new member of ionic liquid (IL), involving innovative chemical and physical characteristics. Using green solvent technology concerning economical, practical, and environmental aspects, DESs open the window for sustainable development of nanomaterial fabrication. The DESs assist in different fabrication processes and design nanostructures with specific morphology and properties by tunable reaction conditions. Using DESs in synthesis reactions can reduce the required high temperature and pressure conditions for decreasing energy consumption and the risk of environmental contamination. This review paper provides the recent applications and advances in the design strategy of DESs for the green synthesis of nanomaterials. The strategy and application of DESs in wet-chemical processes, nanosize reticular material fabrication, electrodeposition/electrochemical synthesis of nanostructures, electroless deposition, DESs based nano-catalytic and nanofluidic systems are discussed and highlighted in this review.
