This method can be used to prepare various mono-and bimetallic nanoparticles with controlled size and shape in a simple, one-part synthesis step in ionic liquids.The main advantage of this technique is that weakly coordinating anions and cations of the ionic liquid directly control nanoparticle nucleation and cross-processes and further provide electrosteric stabilization of the as-formed nanoparticles.Generally, individuals new to this method will struggle, because the experiment has to be experienced in working under air-free conditions.Demonstrating the procedure, will be Yannick Tr
