Description
Book SynopsisEdited and written by renowned experts in the field, this is the first book to reflect the state of the art of nanocatalysis in ionic liquids.
Divided into two core areas, the first part of the book describes the different classes of metal nanoparticles as well as their synthesis in ionic liquids, while the second focuses on such emerging issues as the application of such systems to energy and biomass conversion.
