The controlled assembly of colloid particles on a solid substrate has always been a major challenge in colloid and surface science. Here we provide an overview of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of single charge-stabilized nanoparticles. We demonstrate that surface templated EPD (STEPD) assembly, which combines EPD with top-down nanofabrication, allows a wide range of nanoparticles to […]
