Abstract

Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising precursor for preparing graphene‐based composites and electronics applications. Like graphene, GO is essentially one‐atom thick but can be as wide as tens of micrometers, resulting in a unique type of material building block, characterized by two very different length scales. Due to this highly anisotropic structure, the collective material properties are highly dependent on how these sheets are assembled. Therefore, understanding and controlling the assembly behavior of GO has become an important subject of research. In this Research News article the surface activity of GO and how it can be employed to create two‐dimensional assemblies over large areas is discussed.

The self-assembly of molecules or small clusters, that is, the spontaneous association of atomic or molecular building blocks under equilibrium conditions, is emerging as a successful chemical strategy to fabricate well-defined structures of nanometer dimensions, with potential applications in many
