“…Thus, a topic of interest to design new AuNPs is the development of nonaqueous gold colloids which present improved colloidal stability and extended operational conditions for processing into functional materials. [17][18][19][20] In this regard, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a novel class of designer solvents with properties similar to ionic liquids, whose melting points are significantly lower compared to those of their constituents. 21 DESs, in general, are considered environmentally friendly and inexpensive green solvents of simple preparation in its pure state.…”
