We present the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as templates for the synthesis (Fig. 1) and catalytic application of stable 'naked' metal nanoparticles without the need of additional stabilizers, including their deposition on surfaces and quantized charging.1Fig 1  Ionic liquids as templates for stable metal nanoparticles without the need of additional stabilizers.11 C.
