Structuring reductive media containing protic ionic liquids and their application to the formation of metallic nanoparticles

- Formation of monodispersed metal nanoparticles (NPs) in protic ionic liquids.
- Thermal, transport and micellar properties of PILs were investigated.
- Structuring properties of PILs influence the shape and the size of NPs.
- Formation of NPs was characterized by UV-vis TEM, SEM and DLS.
