A self‐correction process that is time‐ and pH‐dependent results in growth of perfect superlattices from a bulk solution of hydrophilic Ag nanoparticles, despite their polydispersity, by a vapor‐diffusion technique. After 12 weeks, three‐dimensional rhombic superlattices are obtained (see picture).
