Chemically induced self-assembly of spherical and anisotropic inorganic nanocrystals

Abstract

The self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles is a research area of great interest aiming at the fabrication of unique mesostructured materials with intrinsic properties. Although many assembly strategies have been reported over the years, chemically induced self-assembly remains one of the dominant approaches to achieve a high level of nanoparticle organization. In this feature article we will review the latest developments in assembly driven by the active manipulation of nanoparticle surfaces.
