• methodologies such as self-organization and layer-by-layer self-assembly [7][15][16][17]. In particular, layer-by-layer self-assembly holds significant potentials for the fabrication of a large variety of functional nanoarchitectures [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. It has been demonstrated that the different

TiO2 NPs have been also precipitated in the presence of layered silicates such as montmorillonite and hectorite using Ti alkoxides or TiCl4 and TiCl3 as precursors. Similarly, ZnO NPs have been assembled with
