Application


  • Elucidating the Role of Reduction Kinetics in the Phase-Controlled Growth on Preformed Nanocrystal Seeds: A Case Study of Ru: This study explores the phase-controlled growth of ruthenium nanocrystals using triethylene glycol as a reducing agent, providing insights into the kinetics of nanomaterial synthesis for catalytic applications (Nguyen et al., 2024).

  • Deep Eutectic Solvents as Agents for Improving the Solubility of Edaravone: Experimental and Theoretical Considerations: This research investigates the use of deep eutectic solvents, including those formulated with triethylene glycol, to enhance the solubility of edaravone. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in drug solubility and bioavailability (Jeliński et al., 2024).

  • Probing the evaporation dynamics of semi-volatile organic compounds to reveal the thermodynamics of liquid-liquid phase separated aerosol: This study uses triethylene glycol in experiments to understand the evaporation dynamics and thermodynamics of semi-volatile organic compounds in liquid-liquid phase-separated aerosols. The research provides valuable data for atmospheric chemistry and environmental science (Choczynski et al., 2024).
