Mechanistic studies were carried out on the formation of scrolled nanopeapod structures. Linear size‐selective self‐assembly of nanoparticles initially occurs along surface edges of hexaniobate sheets. Individual nanosheets then scroll and capture the particle arrays to produce peapod nanocomposites. Subsequently, the nanopeapods detach from the oxide sheets. Understanding and controlling this behavior will lead to development of more intricate multicomponent particle assemblies of interest to a variety of areas including catalysis, magnetics, and optical materials.
