Mesocrystals are 3D ordered nanoparticle superstructures, often with internal porosity, which receive much recent research interest. While more and more mesocrystal systems are found in biomineralization or synthesized, their potential as material still needs to be explored. It needs to be revealed, which new chemical and physical properties arise from the mesocrystal structure, or how they change by the ordered aggregation of nanoparticles to fully exploit the promising potential of mesocrystals. Also, the mechanisms for mesocrystal synthesis need to be explored to adapt it to a wide class of materials. The last three years have seen remarkable progress, which is summarized here. Also potential future directions of this reaserch field are discussed. This shows the importance of mesocrystals not only for the field of materials research and allows the appliction of mesocrystals in advanced materials synthesis or property improvement of existing materials. It also outlines attractive research directions in this field.
介晶是具有内部多孔性的 3D 有序纳米颗粒超结构，近年来受到了广泛关注。虽然越来越多的介晶体系在生物矿化或合成中被发现，但它们作为材料的潜力仍有待探索。需要揭示的是，介晶结构会产生哪些新的化学和物理性质，或者纳米颗粒有序聚集如何改变它们，从而充分利用介晶的巨大潜力。此外，还需要探索介晶合成的机制，使其适应更广泛的材料类别。在过去的三年中，这方面已经取得了显著的进展，本文对此进行了总结。同时，还讨论了该研究领域未来的潜在方向。这表明介晶不仅对材料研究领域很重要，而且可以将介晶应用于先进材料的合成或现有材料性能的改善。它还概述了该领域有吸引力的研究方向。
