A novel reprecipitation route is combined with an evaporation process for the synthesis of self‐assembled mesocrystalline thin films with at least five hierarchical levels including pattern assembly, fan‐shaped patterns, dendrites, fibers with branches, lamellae, and nanoparticles. The hierarchical thin films presented here show several similarities to biological structures such as fern structures.
