One-dimensional necklace-like assemblies of inorganic nanoparticles: recent advances in design, preparation and applications
One-dimensional (1D) necklace-like assembly of inorganic nanoparticles exhibits unique chemical and physical collective properties. This review focuses on the recent advances in the production of these assemblies employing colloidal synthesis and self-assembly procedures. In the process of colloidal synthesis, both in solution and using templates, as well as under the action of external forces, highly ordered ensembles with unique properties are formed. Diverse nature, size and shape of preformed particles, along with utilizing different linkers, templates or external field lead to fabrication of 1D chain nanostructures with peculiar properties. The unique structure−property relationship offers broad spectrum of implementations, for example, in photonics, electronics, electrocatalysis, magnetics.
