Ionic Liquids in Metal, Photo-, Electro-, and (Bio) Catalysis

“…CDIL metal NP catalysts can be also prepared in situ by decomposition/reduction of organometallic precursors or metal complexes, laser ablation, , or sputtering deposition. ,,,,− In sputtering deposition, the size of the metal NPs can be modulated by the sputtering conditions. ,,,, In the chemical method, the size of MNPs is preferentially dictated by the size of the anion or nonpolar domain volumes ,, depending of the nature of the metal precursor (ionic or neutral), ,− and different shapes can be obtained (Figure ). Immobilization of MNPs in ILs can also be obtained by transfer between phases …”

Biosynthesis and antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles using Buchanania obovata fruit extract and the eutectic-based ionic liquid

“…When aiming to create materials with specific shapes or chemical compositions, Ionic liquids can function both as precursors and as templates or reactive media. Ionic liquids reactions create a conducive ionic environment for the synthesis of novel structured materials, imparting them with unique and beneficial properties [35]. Recent studies indicate that employing ionic liquids instead of conventional organic or aqueous solvents enables the production of nanoparticles without requiring external capping agents [36].…”
