Abstract

We report controllable assembly of polystyrene (PS) microspheresviaa photocatalytically driven electroosmotic flow deriving from UV irradiation of Ag₃PO₄nanoparticles in water. A series of assembly phases, including crystallites, chains and gels, are programmed by systematically modulating the UV intensity, the packing density of the PS microspheres and the concentration of the Ag₃PO₄nanoparticles. Our findings demonstrate an important ability of light-responsive nanoparticles for colloidal assembly, which offers a new pathway toward effective manipulation of assembly at the microscale.
