Abstract

In summary, entropy strategies offer a promising and abundant framework for precisely programming the structural organization of NPs at interfaces. We discuss future directions to signify the framework in tailoring the interfacial organization of NPs. We hope that this Account will promote further efforts toward fundamental research and the wide applications of designed interfacial assemblies in new types of functional nanomaterials and beyond.
