Molecular Evaluation of Deep Eutectic Solvents for Wet Algae Lipid Extraction and Biofuel Production
Microalgae represent promising feedstocks for biofuel production, yet cell-wall disruption remains a critical bottleneck for scaling up lipid extraction. This study evaluates four cholinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green, energy-efficient pretreatment agents to facilitate the lipid...
