Abstract
Patchy nanoparticles (PNPs) possess anisotropic surfaces that produce emergent directionalities in interactions. Manipulation of such surface complexities offers a powerful handle for control over interparticle spatial and orientational orderings, making PNPs an ideal class of nanoscale synthons for self-assembly. However, realization of PNPs with defined patch positions and geometries faces technical challenges related to the level of precision chemistry required to achieve the desired surface patterning. Here, we provide an in-depth review of state-of-the-art strategies available for PNP synthesis. We examine the experimental efforts made to synthesize PNPs, classifying advances based on different material types spanning organic and inorganic systems. We conclude by presenting barriers in PNP synthesis and highlighting ongoing theoretical efforts aimed at guiding experimental design and parameter selection for creating novel surface patterning on NPs.
期刊介绍：
MRS Bulletin is one of the most widely recognized and highly respected publications in advanced materials research. Each month, the Bulletin provides a comprehensive overview of a specific materials theme, along with industry and policy developments, and MRS and materials-community news and events. Written by leading experts, the overview articles are useful references for specialists, but are also presented at a level understandable to a broad scientific audience.
