Incorporation of non‐equilibrium actions in the sequence of self‐assembly processes would
be an effective means to establish bio‐like high functionality hierarchical assemblies. As a …

Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different
morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular …

For quite a while, scientists have resorted to colloidal synthesis to mimic complex structural
and functional materials found in Nature. In particular, within the past few years, the …

Conspectus Over the past decades, numerous efforts have been devoted to synthesizing
nanostructured materials with specific morphology because their size and shape play an …

Advances in nanotechnology depend upon expanding the ability to create new and complex
materials with well-defined multidimensional mesoscale structures. The creation of hybrid …

Owing to the reversible, directional and predictable nature of metal–ligand coordination,
coordination-driven self-assembly has emerged as a powerful bottom-up strategy for …

Abstract 2D nanomaterials have provided an extraordinary palette of mechanical, electrical,
optical, and catalytic properties. Ultrathin 2D nanomaterials are classically produced via …

Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Rational design of 2D materials is crucial for the realization of their profound implications in
energy and environmental fields. The past decade has witnessed significant developments …

The self-assembly of multicomponent networks at the liquid–solid interface between Au
(111) or highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and organic solvents was investigated …
