  • Introducing functionality-based anisotropic interactions during self-assembly.
  • Kinetically controlling assembly to achieve single-domain, needle-like superparticles.
  • Unidirectional patterning of superparticles to create macroscopic films.

    • Main Results:

    • Mesoscopic colloidal superparticles with multiple supercrystalline domains were produced.
    • Single-domain, needle-like superparticles with parallel nanorod alignment were achieved through controlled anisotropic interactions.
    • Macroscopic, uniform, freestanding polymer films with laterally aligned CdSe-CdS nanorods were fabricated.
    • These films exhibited strong, anisotropic photoluminescence.

    Conclusions:

    • The self-assembly of CdSe-CdS nanorods offers a route to functional colloidal superparticles.
    • Controlled assembly and patterning yield anisotropic materials with promising optical properties.
    • The developed materials are suitable for use as downconversion phosphors in polarized light-emitting diodes.
