“…Production of higher ordered inorganic crystals by a self-assembly process has received much attention not only for its importance on crystallization theories but also for the potential to design new materials used in many fields, such as electronics, catalysis, and ceramics [1][2][3][4][5]. Self-assembly is used in biological systems to regulate the synthesis of biominerals with hierarchical structures and specialized functions including protection and structural support, such as bones and shells [6,7].…”
