Ionic liquids assisted formation of an oil/water emulsion stabilised by a carbon nanotube/ionic liquid composite layer
Abstract
Assisted by ionic liquids, a facile way of preparing size controllable emulsions stabilised by a CNT/IL composite has been demonstrated. The functionally and structurally tunable CNT/IL composite layer will potentially enhance the application of emulsion in template synthesis, biphase catalysis and interface electron/charge transfer.
