Solution-processable precrystalline nanowires (NWs) of conjugated polymers (CPs) have garnered significant attention in fundamental research based on crystallization-driven self-assembly and in the roll-to-roll fabrication of optoelectronic devices such as organic...
Sensitive fluorescence detection of heparin based on self-assembly of mesoporous silica nanoparticle–gold nanoclusters with emission enhancement characteristics was reported.
Rapid room temperature metal ion triggered synthesis of intensely luminescent Au NCs from nonluminescent ones. The journey from nonluminescent to yellow emitting to green emitting species, induced by aggregation and self-assembly, is clearly depicted in the TEM micrograph.
The mechanistic understanding of the intrinsic molecular self-assembly of conjugated polymers is of immense importance to control the microstructure development in organic semiconducting thin films, with a meaningful impact on charge transport and optoelectronic properties.
