"Inverted" Deep Eutectic Solvents Based on Host‐Guest Interactions.

Herein, the concept of "inverted" (the mode "molecules mainly interact with cations") deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is proposed. A strategy to form inverted DESs by host‐guest interactions was developed, and thus numerous DESs could be designed and formed by a combination of host and guest molecules. These liquids are expected to be used as nonaqueous electrolytes in potassium‐ion batteries or other fields for further exploration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
