Overview

The use of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) in the sustainable synthesis of functional materials has gained much attention in recent years. The increasing demand for eco-friendly and efficient synthetic routes has led to the development of DES-mediated green chemistry for the synthesis of various functional materials. This approach provides an alternative to conventional methods that use toxic and hazardous solvents, and also offers several advantages such as biodegradability, non-toxicity, non-volatility, low cost, and easy handling. The synthesis of nanoscale and functional materials using DES has been widely explored for environmental remediation applications. This includes the synthesis of nanomaterials such as nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanorods, nanotubes, and nanowires. These materials have been studied for various applications such as energy materials, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and catalytic activity. Moreover, the functional materials synthesized using DES have been used for the removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and other contaminants from wastewater, air pollution control, and soil remediation. The use of DES has also led to the development of sensors and biosensors for the detection and monitoring of contaminants in various environments. The analytical methods used for the characterization of these materials include spectroscopic techniques, chromatography, and microscopy. In addition to their functional properties, the physicochemical and surface properties of these materials are also studied for their stability and toxicity. Biocompatibility studies are also performed to ensure that these materials meet regulatory compliance for environmental and human safety. The patentability of these sustainable synthesis methods is also a crucial aspect of research. N Jeena Baby and colleagues have contributed significantly to the field of sustainable synthesis of functional materials using DES. Their work has highlighted the potential of DES-mediated green chemistry for the development of functional materials for environmental remediation. Their research has also demonstrated the advantages of using DES as a sustainable solvent for the synthesis of functional materials with tunable properties.
