Area of Science:

  • Nanomaterials Science
  • DNA Nanotechnology
  • Self-Assembly

Background:

  • Significant advancements in wet chemical synthesis of nanoparticle building blocks (metal, quantum dots, magnetic particles) over 20 years.
  • Challenges persist in rationally assembling these nanoparticles into well-defined, molecule-like architectures.
  • DNA was first used to program nanomaterial synthesis in 1996, leading to highly-ordered structures like nanoparticle molecules, polymers, and superlattices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of DNA-templated nanoparticle superlattices.
  • To detail the synthetic approaches and characterization of nanoparticle building blocks.
  • To discuss conjugation and characterization methods for DNA-nanoparticle assemblies.
  • To introduce representative self-assembly strategies for nanoparticle superlattices.
