Single nanoparticle detection in ionic liquids

Nanoimpacts are novelly observed in a room temperature ionic liquid with the oxidation of silver nanoparticles in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. The addition of chloride facilitates the oxidation of the silver nanoparticles to silver chloride, which is observed as spikes in the curre...
