Pathway-Engineered Co-Assembly of Nanorod-Nanosphere Binary Superlattices

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how to achieve nanorod-nanosphere co-assembly by controlling assembly conditions.
• Tuned the nanosphere-to-nanorod number ratio to suppress competing assembly pathways.
• Examined the effects of increasing nanosphere content on nanorod aggregation.
• Increased nanosphere content effectively disrupted nanorod-nanorod aggregation.
• Successfully achieved stable formation of nanorod-nanosphere structures.
