Smart Shell-By-Shell Nanoparticles With Tunable Perylene Fluorescence In The Organic Interlayer

A superstructure made up of shell-by-shell building blocks is represented by a galaxy in the cover image. Pristine Al2O3 nanoparticles, phosphonic acid derivatives including a perylene core as fluorescence marker, and diverse types of amphiphiles combine to make a bright shining shell-by-shell structure.
