Ionic Liquid Stabilized Metal NPs and their Role as Potent Catalyst

Catalysts based on large size-controlled Pd nanoparticles for aqueous-phase hydrodechlorination

“…Among these methods, chemical reduction is widely used due to its simplicity and effectiveness to control NP size [24]. That method is based on the reduction of a metal precursor by a reducing agent (e.g.…”

Ionic liquid-stabilized metal oxoclusters: from design to catalytic application

“…Another way is by forming strong bonds with the metal atoms. 41–43 ILs are composed of cations and anions. The specific charge distribution on IL components can interact with charged sites on MOCs through electrostatic forces, and also their polar functional groups, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms.…”

Polymer microgels for the stabilization of gold nanoparticles and their application in the catalytic reduction of nitroarenes in aqueous media

“…The catalytic reductive reaction of nitroarenes using NaBH 4 reductant in the presence of efficient and highly stable Au nanoparticles supported on suitable systems in water presents a solution to all the above-mentioned problems. 32 Surfactants, 33 ionic liquids, 34 dendrimers, 35 block copolymers, 36 and microgels 37 are used as supporting systems to stabilize Au nanoparticles and to enhance their catalytic activity.…”
