“…Additionally, compared to ionic liquid, DES is generally safer, exhibits superior biodegradability, and is more cost-effective to prepare as it is made from natural compounds [ 4 ]. At present, DESs have been used in wide-ranging applications, including electrodeposition [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], synthesis of nanomaterials [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], biotransformation [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], synthesis of pharmaceuticals and drug delivery systems [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], and extraction of bioactive compounds [ 2 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
