InDES: Edler
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as sustainable alternatives to water and organic solvents in science and technology. Our aim is to understand solvent structures and how they solubilise reactive species using techniques including small-angle scattering, reflectivity, and wide Q-range neutron diffraction. This will enable us to tailor DES systems for synthetic chemistry and nanoparticle synthesis. By working with the groups at Cambridge and Bern we will transfer our reaction to flow systems to overcome viscosity limitations of DES and to study mechanisms and structure development in these systems, to enable future scale up for industrial use.
