We present a facile, scalable, and general method for the size-variable generation of monodispersed, near-spherical solid-state (frozen) ionic liquid nanoparticles based on a novel melt-emulsion-quench approach. Simple manipulation of the internal templating droplets within oil-in-water (o/w) microemulsions also permits the formation of well-defined microspheres. This simple and rapid preparation, requiring neither specialized equipment nor harsh conditions, suggests a wealth of potential for these designer nanomaterials within the biomedical, materials, and analytical communities.
我们基于一种新型的熔融-乳液-淬火方法，提出了一种简便、可扩展且通用的方法，用于尺寸可变地生成单分散、近球形的固态（冷冻）离子液体纳米颗粒。对水包油（o/w）微乳液中的内部模板液滴进行简单操作，还可形成形状明确的微球。这种简单快速的制备方法，既不需要专门设备，也无需苛刻条件，这表明这些定制纳米材料在生物医学、材料和分析领域具有巨大的潜在应用价值。
