Abstract: | Generation of nanostructures containing from several to thousands of inorganic nanorods (NRs) organized in a highly ordered manner paves the way for applications that exploit directional properties of NR arrays. Self-assembly of NRs provides a simple and cost-efficient strategy for producing NR ensembles. This tutorial review highlights recent advances in the field of NR synthesis, summarizes the types of ligands used for NR synthesis and stabilization, reviews experimental and theoretical work on NR self-assembly that is driven by interactions between the ligands and describes current properties and applications of self-assembled NR structures. |
