Assessing the impacts of dynamic soft-templates innate to switchable ionic liquids on nanoparticulate green rust crystalline structures†
Abstract
This experimental and theoretical study investigates how dynamic solvation environments in switchable ionic liquids regulate the composition of nanoparticulate green rust. A custom microfluidic device enables in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy to elucidate characterization of the solvent structure and speciation of reaction intermediates of air-sensitive nanoparticles growing in solution.
