%X Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were successfully synthesized using different types of ionic liquids (ILs) with different length of side alkyl chain as the template. The formed MSN were characterised by FTIR, XRD and BET. In this study, ILs of long alkyl chains of cation was found to decrease the pore size of the MSNs thus, increasing the surface area. FTIR spectroscopy affirmed the formation of SiO2 while the broad peak in the X-ray diffractogram conveyed that the silica of MSNs is amorphous. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
