Recent advances in the assembly of nanoparticle superstructures on electrodes are addressed here. Methods for the assembly and characterization of these arrays are summarized and their electronic, photoelectrochemical, and sensor applications are discussed. The Figure shows a one-layer architecture of Au nanoparticles and tetracationic cyclophanes on an amine-functionalized ITO support.
