“…P. H. Tran developed a few different systems where DESs were used in combination with a standard organic solvent, namely ethanol, acetonitrile and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate (EMITCB) [ 116 , 117 , 118 ]. The PV parameters of the obtained DSSCs are collected in Table 2 .…”

“…A subsequent study by Tran’s group involved a ChCl/phenol 1:2 DES in acetonitrile (up to 50% v / v ) [ 117 ]. In the presence of 0.6 M TBAI, 0.1 M GuSCN, 0.5 M 4-tBP, and 0.03 M I 2 electrolyte (I 2 was tested up to 0.1 M in DES/acetonitrile 1:1 mixtures) cells with pure acetonitrile as a solvent offered the best performance.…”

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have been widely used in many fields to exploit their ecofriendly characteristics, from green synthetic procedures to environmentally benign industrial methods. In contrast, their application in emerging solar technologies, where the abundant and clean solar energy is used to properly respond to most important societal needs, is still relatively scarce. This represents a strong limitation since many solar devices make use of polluting or toxic components, thus seriously hampering their eco-friendly nature. Herein, we review the literature, mainly published in the last few years, on the use of DESs in representative solar technologies, from solar plants to last generation photovoltaics, featuring not only their passive role as green solvents, but also their active behavior arising from their peculiar chemical nature. This collection highlights the increasing and valuable role played by DESs in solar technologies, in the fulfillment of green chemistry requirements and for performance enhancement, in particular in terms of long-term temporal stability.

“…The DSC devices were fabricated following our previously-described procedure [22,23]. Briefly, 12 µm-thick TiO2 nanoparticles (Eternal Materials Ltd, R.O.C Taiwan) and 4 µm-thick scattering layer (CCIC, Japan) were screen-printed onto cleaned and TiCl4-treated FTO electrode (Dyesol, 8 Ω.cm -2 ).…”

Deep eutectic Solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of materials showing a marked depression in melting points compared to those of the neat constituents and characterized by a number of beneficial properties. DES research currently prospers and out of the multiple current applications, the electrochemistry field is likely the most flourishing. This detailed review emphasizes recent research efforts in order to apply type III and type IV DESs and their analogues as electrolytes for rechargeable cationic batteries. The recent developments in the last decade are outlined, framing outstanding achievements and open questions, and identifying future optimisation directions to overcome the existing challenges.
