Abstract
. This solvent system opens innovative ways with a potential to impact applications in many fields including materials synthesis, biomass conversion, recycling, green chemistry, catalysis, sustainable manufacturing and others. Beyond the impact on the hydrothermal community, this work also offers previously unexplored opportunities for the molten salt field with access to flow chemistry and insights regarding salt precipitation mechanism.
