Due to the size of the model system and the simulation time needed to properly characterize the self-assembly and to compute the potentials of mean force (pmf), the Martini 3.0 coarse grained force field was employed in all simulations presented here. In a coarse grained force field, several atoms are clustered together in a single interaction site, which reduces the number of particles to compute and also enables a reduction in the integration time step of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Two ionic liquids were employed and compared in this The nanoparticles were produced by cutting a sphere with 2.2 nm from a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal with neighbor atoms distant by 0.53 nm (which corresponds to the minimum of the Lennard-Jones potential between particles of the regular size in Martini force field) from each other, rendering nearly spherical NPs with 580 interaction sites (left of Figure ).
