In the past two decades, we have learned a great deal about self-assembly of dendritic metal oxide structures, partially inspired by the nanostructures mimicking the aesthetic hierarchical structures of ferns and corals. The self-assembly process involves either anisotropic polycondensation or molecular recognition mechanisms. The major driving force for research in this field is due to the wide variety of applications in addition to the unique structures and properties of these dendritic nanostructures. Our purpose of this minireview is twofold: (1) to showcase what we have learned so far about how the self-assembly process occurs; and (2) to encourage people to use this type of material for drug delivery, renewable energy conversion and storage, biomaterials, and electronic noses.
在过去二十年中，我们对树枝状金属氧化物结构的自组装有了很多了解，这部分受到了模仿蕨类植物和珊瑚美学层次结构的纳米结构的启发。自组装过程涉及各向异性缩聚或分子识别机制。除了这些树枝状纳米结构独特的结构和性质外，该领域研究的主要驱动力还在于其广泛的应用。本微型综述的目的有两个：（1）展示我们目前对自组装过程如何发生的了解；（2）鼓励人们将这类材料用于药物递送、可再生能源转换与存储、生物材料和电子鼻。
