Ordered nanostructure arrangement directly from solution onto surface is one of the important methods to synthesis advanced materials. In this paper, solvent-assisted self-assembly of ZnO nanoparticles on mica was investigated. Results showed ZnO nanoparticles were closely linked to each other and formed fork-like nanostructures on mica. ZnO nanostructures were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The possible mechanism of nanoparticle self-assembly was given. The decrease of solvent density led to the aggregation of nanoparticles. It may provide a simple and effective method to construct nanostructures.

A dipolar Ru(II) complex, [(bpy)2Ru(bpbh)Ru(bpy)2](ClO4)4 {where bpbh = 1,6-bis-[2-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazoyl]hexane, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine}, was synthesized and characterized. A multilayer film of at least 18 layers was successfully prepared by alternating adsorption of H4SiW12O40 and [Ru2(bpy)4(bpbh)](ClO4)4 by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly. The multilayer films were studied by ultraviolet-visible and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.

In an effort to study an alternative approach to make graphene from graphene oxide (GO), exposure of GO to high-energy X-ray radiation has been performed. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to characterize GO before and after irradiation. Results indicate that GO exposed to high-energy radiation is converted to an amorphous carbon phase that is conductive.
