Ionic liquids and their deep eutectic solvent counterparts are enabling solvents and designable materials of interest in many lines of modern scientific and engineering research. One area that has witnessed limited exploration is the study of ionic liquids for the tailored interfacial growth of nanostructures. In this presentation, we will discuss our exploration of ionic liquids as tailorable media to synthesize metallic nanostructures using radical initiated photochemical reduction with the goal of deciphering how morphogenesis evolves in comparison to a scenario using conventional liquid interfaces.
