This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Self-assembly of quasi-spherical colloidal particles in two-dimensional (2D) arrangements is
essential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronics to surface engineering, from …

Nanoparticles form long‐range micropatterns via self‐assembly or directed self‐assembly
with superior mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, chemical, and other functional …

This work is devoted to the development of nanosphere lithography (NSL) technology, which
is a low-cost and efficient method to form nanostructures for nanoelectronics, as well as …

This work reports a temperature-assisted dip-coating method for self-assembly of silica
(SiO2) microspheres/nanospheres (SPs) as monolayers over large areas (∼ cm2). The area …

The importance of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) as a low‐cost and environmentally
