Abstract
Spectroscopic (absorption and emission), microscopic (transmission electron and atomic force), electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) and photoelectrochemical (photocurrent) measurements have provided evidence for the formation of stable ultrathin films with regular periodicities, by the layer-by-layer self-assembly of polycations, montmorillonite platelets, and cadmium sulfide, lead sulfide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
