Abstract
A method of synthesizing nanoparticles includes: combining at least one stabilizing agent, at least one precursor and an ionic liquid to form a reaction mixture; heating the reaction mixture to a predetermined temperature to form the nanoparticles and cause the nanoparticles to self-separate from the reaction mixture; and collecting the nanoparticles from the reaction mixture. Ionic liquid from which the nanoparticles are separated may be reused.
Claims6
A method of synthesizing nanoparticles formed of a material selected from the group consisting of metals, alloys, and intermetallics, comprising:
- combining at least one stabilizing agent, at least one precursor and an ionic liquid to form a reaction mixture;
- heating the reaction mixture to a first predetermined temperature to form the nanoparticles;
- heating the reaction mixture to a second predetermined temperature to cause the nanoparticles to separate from the ionic liquid;
- collecting the nanoparticles from the reaction mixture;
- and
- reusing the separated ionic liquid.
