Metal nanoparticle-based electrocatalysts are widely used in electronic devices, which serve for electrochemical reactions like oxygen reduction reaction, alcohol oxidation and CO reduction reaction. These catalyst-dependent reactions are the key of the emerging clean energy systems. Catalyst design and synthesis therefore have received keen attention in past decades. We are motivated to study synthesis approaches of metal nanoparticle-based electrocatalysts using ionic liquids (ILs), which are promising solvents for the nanoparticle preparation because of their unique physicochemical properties. In this personal account, we review our previous and present works on nanoparticle preparation in IL and utilization of the obtained nanoparticles as electrocatalysts.
基于金属纳米粒子的电催化剂广泛应用于电子设备中，这些设备用于诸如氧还原反应、醇氧化和一氧化碳还原反应等电化学反应。这些依赖催化剂的反应是新兴清洁能源系统的关键。因此，在过去几十年中，催化剂的设计和合成受到了密切关注。我们受此激励，研究使用离子液体（ILs）制备基于金属纳米粒子的电催化剂的合成方法，由于其独特的物理化学性质，离子液体是制备纳米粒子的理想溶剂。在这篇个人综述中，我们回顾了我们之前和目前关于在离子液体中制备纳米粒子以及将所得纳米粒子用作电催化剂的工作。
