NaturalDeep EutecticSolvents(NADES)are currentlyone ofthe greenestsolventsfor both academicand industrialpurposes.Despitetheir advantageswith respectto traditionalsolvents,their synthesistypicallyrequiresaccessto power,limitingtheir applicabilityto addressproblemsin remotelocations.Addressingthis shortcoming,this report describesthe possibilityto use a 3D-printedsolar concentratorfor theon-site preparationof NADES,approachthat not only providesa simple way to adjust syntheticconditionsbut also representsthe greenestmethodfor their synthesisreportedto date. Tohighlightthe advantagesof the approach,the preparationoftwelve representativeNADES was performedand benchmarkedagainstone of the most traditionalmethods,involvingheatingand stirring.Accordingto our results, most of the NADES testedcould be preparedon-sitein
