Research Progresses of Deep Eutectic Solvents and its Application in Separation and Catalysis

At present, traditional organic agents and catalyst have the lack of low efficiency, poor selectivity, toxicity, environmental pollution and so on. As a new type of green high efficient solvent and catalyst, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have become one of the hotspots in the green chemistry field. In this paper, domestic and foreign research on DESs in separation and catalysis are reviewed in detail. Firstly, we summarize the characteristic properties of DESs. Secondly, the paper presents a review of DESs application in separation and catalysis. Thirdly, it point out the future research direction of DESs in separation and catalysis fields. All these provide comprehensive guidance in the future study and application of DESs.
