Hollow microhemisphere and microsphere patterns (see Figure) can be selectively created from the self‐assembly of ZnO nanorods and thin nanosheets, respectively. It appears that these distinctive superstructures can evolve from spherical‐nanocluster‐based aggregates under controlled conditions, presenting the promise of a self‐assembly route to curved, multidimensionally ordered superstructures from one and two‐dimensional nanocrystal building blocks.
