title: Facile and large-scale route to the fabrication of CuO nanosheets from a lamellar mesophase and their reversible self-assembly.
abstract: CuO and ZnO nanosheets were conveniently synthesized on a multigram scale under ambient conditions by using a surfactant lamellar mesophase as a soft template. The fabricated nanosheets were found to exhibit reversible self-assembling properties. By using the nanosheets as a basic building block and surfactants as structure-directing agents, highly ordered lamellar mesostructures were reassembled on the substrate.
