The choline chloride (ChCl) and ethylene glycol (EG) mixture has become established as a paradigmatic deep eutectic solvent (DES). Here, we present measurements of the phase behaviour of this mixture over a wide composition range, and provide an extended phase diagram. The eutectic point was found to lie at -28 ± 1 °C and 0.01 < < 0.02, sharply contrasting with the previously expected eutectic composition. Our observations confirm that the eutectic temperature is not 'deep' compared to the ideal solution theory prediction. We also observe a cold-crystallisation at = -65 °C which may have been formerly misinterpreted as the eutectic point.
氯化胆碱(ChCl)和乙二醇(EG)的混合物已成为典型的深共晶溶剂(DES)。在这里,我们在很宽的组成范围内测量了该混合物的相行为,并提供了扩展的相图。共晶点位于-28±1°C 和 0.01 < < 0.02,与之前预期的共晶组成形成鲜明对比。我们的观察结果证实,与理想溶液理论预测相比,共晶温度并不“深”。我们还观察到在 = -65°C 时的冷结晶,这可能以前被错误地解释为共晶点。
