It is clearly established that solvent evaporation significantly influences the nature of resulting superlattices and critically governs whether monolayer or multilayer superlattices are formed. More specifically, it is demonstrated that dilution of the nanoparticle dispersion with a similar solvent (but with different vapour pressure) is an expedient handle to control the nature of self-assembly.
