Self‐assembled monolayers of Ag nano particles 7 nm in size, encapsulated by lipid molecules, are fabricated by using a solid‐supported liquid‐crystalline lipid membrane. By dissolving and reassembling these lipid‐encapsulated Ag nanoparticles, various superstructures ranging from 2D planar superlattices and multistacked 3D superlattices to honeycomb‐like structure are produced by varying the lipid concentration, temperature, and solvent.
