Abstract:Recently, self-assembly of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted a great interest due to their flexible synthesis with tunable band gaps and shape-dependent optical and electronic properties. In particular, nanorods (NRs) superlattice is receiving considerable attention. Typically, the NRs superlattice is prepared by guiding the process of self-assembly through external forces. In this article, recent development of self-assembly approaches at work in fabricating NRs superlattices was reviewed. Despite those effective self-assembly techniques through external controls to obtain NCs assemblies during deposition were widespread used. But these techniques are time consuming, and cannot get rid of the organic capping insulated molecules surrounding the NCs. So there is still a challenge to guarantee the electron/hole dissociation as well as the charge transport of NCs. Here, thermal annealing method that applies selectivity even in the presence of organic molecules will be adopted to obtain colloidal NRs superlattices, and the self-assembly mechanism of NRs were briefly addressed. © 2015 World Scientific Publishing Company.
