In recent years, aggregates formed in deep eutectic solvents (DESs), especially micelles, have attracted much attention. In this study, the phase behaviours of a cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium bromide (CPBr), in two DESs, choline chloride + glycerol (ChG) and choline chloride + ethylene glycol (ChEG), were investigated in wide concentration and temperature ranges. With the help of small angle X-ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy and rheological measurements, the structures and properties of various aggregates were characterized. The micelles, hexagonal phase, bicontinuous cubic phase and lamellar phase were observed with the increase of CPBr concentration. Such rich phase behaviours were due to the large cohesive energy densities of DESs. Comparative studies in water and ethylammonium nitrate were carried out to explore how well DESs acted as self-assembly media.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
