VersatAAIL Surfactants: Biodegradable, chiral amino acid ionic liquid surfactants (AAILSs) with a very high surface activity are synthesized and characterized. The AAILS can be applied as task‐specific ionic liquids; two examples given are the mitigation of harmful algal blooms from sea water and the shape‐ and size‐specific synthesis of nanomaterials.
