From Self-Assembly of Platinum Nanoparticles to Nanostructured Materials

Self‐assembly by soft symmetry! We report the self‐assembly of Pt nanoparticles into nanofibers from Pt salts in very dilute aqueous solution or in swollen liquid crystals (SLCs). The symmetry of these SLC soft templates can be used to organize these self‐assemblies into larger controlled shapes (fi...

Description
Summary:Self‐assembly by soft symmetry! We report the self‐assembly of Pt nanoparticles into nanofibers from Pt salts in very dilute aqueous solution or in swollen liquid crystals (SLCs). The symmetry of these SLC soft templates can be used to organize these self‐assemblies into larger controlled shapes (fibers, as shown in the TEM image, or lamellae).
