Catalytic reactions in ionic liquids (ILs) have been examined for at least 20 years; for
example, the first report of the use of an IL as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts acylation was …

Conventional synthesis of inorganic materials relies heavily on water and organic solvents.
Alternatively, the synthesis of inorganic materials using, or in the presence of, ionic liquids …

It is highly desired but scientifically as well as technologically challenging to develop non-
noble metal-based hydrogenation catalysts that can substitute noble metal-based ones …

Metal nanoparticles have attracted much attention over the last decade owing to their unique
properties, different to their bulk counterparts, which pave the way for their application in …
