“…Owing to the ease of scaling and advanced biomimicking capabilities, self-assembly is widely used in the field of biomedicine, 1 drug delivery, 8 tissue engineering, catalysis, 9,10 fabrication of nanomaterials, 2,13 photovoltaics, 9 and energy storage devices. 14 There are various modes of self-assembly, namely, template removal, 15,16 evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA), 17,18 polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), 7,19,20 external field (photovoltaic, 21 electric, 22 magnetic or gravitational 23 )-assisted self-assembly, freezing induced self-assembly (FISA), [24][25][26][27][28] etc. Most of these aforementioned techniques require the use of some physical or chemical treatment, which renders them unsuitable for biological and biomedical applications.…”
