Binary mesocrystals demonstrate the combination of nanocrystals from different materials within a highly ordered manner. While nanocubes appear to be simple in their geometry, they can arrange in various ways into a complex entity which not only directs its habitus but also its properties. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202112461), Helmut Cölfen et al. report on the formation and structural analysis of micrometer sized two- and three-dimensional binary particle assemblies revealing their mesocrystalline nature and highlighting their importance within the growing field of metamaterials.

来自各向异性纳米颗粒的 3D 二元介晶

二元介晶证明了来自不同材料的纳米晶体以高度有序的方式组合。虽然纳米立方体的几何形状看起来很简单，但它们可以以各种方式排列成一个复杂的实体，不仅可以指导其习性，还可以指导其属性。在他们的研究文章 (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202112461) 中，Helmut Cölfen 等人。关于微米级二维和三维二元粒子组件的形成和结构分析的报告，揭示了它们的中晶性质并强调了它们在不断发展的超材料领域中的重要性。
