Ionic-like Superlattices by Charged Nanoparticles: A Step Toward Photonics Applications
Abstract
Controlling interactions among nanoparticles is paramount to achieving assemblies vital to technologies seeking to exploit their cutting-edge collective properties. Although various techniques have been advanced, robust ones are necessary for upscaling nanoparticle assembly and crystallization. Here, we show that by grafting gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with charge-end-group-thiolated poly(ethylene glycol), we control the charge of each AuNP. Such control facilitates the formation of various two-dimensional structures of oppositely charged binary constituents at vapor/liquid interfaces. Using surface-sensitive synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques, we established the formation of distinct checkerboard square lattice structures at a range of pH values and molar ratios of the constituents. By regulating pH, the superlattices can transform from a square to a hexagonal lattice, or vice versa, and to a single-component superstructure at the interface. In conclusion, our recipe for the control of charges and their consequent interactions among nanoparticles can be readily exploited in the assembly of photonics and plasmonics devices in two and three dimensions.
