Deep eutectic solvents: a new ally in advancing the green development of power batteries
摘要
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are widely used owing to their excellent properties. This review elucidates the definition and formation mechanisms of DESs, compares them with conventional solvents, and provides a classification. The roles of DESs in battery chemistry and their applications in manufacturing and recycling are innovatively summarized. Perspectives are proposed to promote the green development of DESs in the renewable energy technologies.
