Abstract

This review is focused on the recent research progresses on one-dimensional (1-D) inorganic nanoparticle (NP) assemblies. First, we introduce some preparation methods of 1-D NP assemblies, which are the base of the investigation to 1-D NP assemblies. In the following part, we discuss the formation mechanism of 1-D NP assemblies, which is very important for us to understand the self-assembly process. We also summarize the novel properties of 1-D NP assemblies. Finally, we outlook the development of 1-D NP assemblies in the near future. We believe that the scientific and technical potentials of NP assemblies are immense, and their future is bright.
