The use of ionic liquids based on choline chloride for metal deposition: A green alternative?

Zn–Sn electrodeposition from deep eutectic solvents containing EDTA, HEDTA, and Idranal VII

“…An alternative class of ionic liquids, called deep eutectic solvent (DES), based on combinations of choline chloride with hydrogen bond donors, such as ethylene glycol (EG), was investigated by Abbott et al [16][17][18] and by Whitehead et al [19]. These eutectic mixtures have properties similar to RTILs but they are cheap, easily handled, and environmental friendly [18,20].…”

Low melting mixtures in organic synthesis – an alternative to ionic liquids?

“…3 Table 14 shows the conductivities observed in DESs which are comparable to ionic liquids; 44,45 DESs are therefore a highly investigated medium for electrochemical applications. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] Readers interested in electrodeposition from ILs and DESs will find a good review in ref. 64.…”

Electrochemical recycling of lead from hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites using deep eutectic solvents

“…DESs are an emerging class of ionic solvent which have seen increasing popularity over the past decade, 25,26 and have shown excellent capability for the dissolution of metal oxides and salts 27,28 and electrodeposition of various metals, 29 demonstrating a degree of re-usability, [30][31][32] as well as being considered environmentally friendly. 33 The DES used in this study is comprised of choline chloride (ChCl) and ethylene glycol (EG), which is demonstrated to easily dissolve MAPbI 3 , FAPbI 3 and MAPbI 3-x Cl x before electrodeposition of the speciated lead from the solvent. The advantage of a DES over aqueous solvents is the reduction of risk of waste solution being introduced to the water supply, as well as the need not to use volatile organic solvents and concentrated acids.…”
