Title: Binary Superlattices of Gold Nanoparticles in Two Dimensions

Abstract

Here, we have created two-dimensional (2D) binary superlattices by cocrystallizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of two distinct sizes into $$\sqrt{3}$$ x $$\sqrt{3}$$ and 2 x 2 complex binary superlattices, derived from the hexagonal structures of the single components. The building blocks of these binary systems are AuNPs that are functionalized with different chain lengths of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The assembly of these functionalized NPs at the air–water interface is driven by the presence of salt, causing PEG-AuNPs to migrate to the aqueous surface and assemble into a crystalline lattice. We have used liquid surface X-ray reflectivity (XR) and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) to examine the assembly and crystallization at the liquid interface.
