Figure 1. Numbbell-shaped nanoparticles self-assemble into chiral Kagome superlattices and their formation mechanism. (A-F) Morphology and structure of 2D ND superlattices with different local curvature; (G-H) Microstructure of Kagome lattices self-assembled from NDs; (L-O) Planar chirality of left- and right-handed Kagome lattices; (P-S) Formation mechanism of Kagome lattices. (T-U) AB₃-type binary superlattices and open oblique lattices self-assembled from NDs. Reproduced from Reference^[6] with permission. 2D: Two-dimensional; ND: nanodumbbell.
