Abstract

Ionic liquids (ILs) have unique properties, such as negligible vapor pressure, nonflammability, and low melting points, making them green solvents with high recyclability. They circumvent some of the significant drawbacks of organic solvents as clean, efficient, and ecofriendly alternative resources of organic solvent They exhibit unique thermal, chemical, physical, and biological properties. The applications of ILs, such as imidazolium, pyridinium, ammonium, piperidinium, and phosphonium, in the synthesis and recycling of nanomaterials are discussed in this chapter. ILs have several functions such as tunable media, functional fluids, solvents, templates, and precursors to synthesize nanomaterials. They offer nanomaterials with particular morphologies and unique functions. However, several challenges and opportunities are present, some of which are discussed in the chapter. ILs have advanced the recyclability of nanoparticles and may open new horizons for modern technologies.
