Manganese Fluoride Nanoparticles Synthesized by Microwave Irradiation Using Ionic Liquid–Ethylene Glycol Mixtures: Room-Temperature Photoluminescence, Crystalline Phase, and Morphology

The facile and rapid microwave-assisted method has been demonstrated to be effective in synthesizing manganese fluoride (MnF2) nanoparticles in binary mixtures of ethylene glycol and imidazolium-based ionic liquid containing fluorine, within a minute, without any surfactant and stabilizer. The effect of volume ratio of an ionic liquid in the binary mixtures with ethylene glycol and the length of the alkyl chain of imidazolium on the morphologies...
