A simple strategy based on the synergistic modulation of inter-particle and substrate-particle interaction is applied for the large-scale fabrication of two-dimensional (2D) Au and Ag nanoparticle arrays. The surface charge of the substrate is used to redistribute the double layer electric charges o...
