摘要

Recently (Baranov et al., Nano Lett., 2010, 10, 743) we demonstrated that depletion attraction between semiconductor nanorods in solution can be employed for both their self-assembly and their separation from spherical nanoparticles. Here we show that depletion attraction can be used to fabricate binary superlattices of nanorods and 3D networks of octapod/tetrapod-shaped nanocrystals.
