Abstract

A facile method is reported for the preparation of chain-like nanostructures by anisotropic self-assembly of TiO2 and SnO2 nanoparticles with the aid of a block copolymer in an aqueous medium. Well-defined crystallographic orientations between neighbouring nanoparticles are observed in TiO2 nanochains, which is important for tailoring the grain boundaries and thus enhancing charge transport.
