Highly ordered mesostructures of tin oxide have been obtained via the block‐copolymer‐assisted assembly of crystalline tin oxide nanoparticle sols. The 3.5 nm tin oxide nanoparticles obtained using low‐temperature synthesis can be dispersed without the use of any stabilizers and are assembled via an evaporation‐induced self‐assembly (EISA) process (see Figure).
