Abstract

Recent results suggest that ILs can be the preferable solvents in the synthesis and modification of nanostructured materials because of their unique properties, such as extended hydrogen bonding. 1 They have been used in making mesoporous metal oxides, polyaniline nanoparticles, morphologically interesting nanoflakes and nanosheets, and in controlling the composition of PtCo alloys. 2–8 Imidazolium-based ionic liquids have also been used in ...
