Synthesis of silver nanoparticle in imidazolium and pyrolidium based ionic liquid reverse micelles: A step forward in nanostructure inorganic material in room temperature ionic liquid field

► A RTIL containing reverse micellar system has been characterized. ► Silver nanoparticle was synthesized in the reverse micellar system "without" using any other solvent in the whole process. ► Average diameter of the silver nanoparticle was ~ 3 nm. ► A new approach to dissolve metal precursor in room temperature ionic liquid.
