• cove-shaped two-dimensional graphene nanoribbon networks by interconnecting one-dimensional self-assembled graphene nanoribbons on a Au(111) surface [121]. The structure of the two-dimensional graphene nanoribbon network consists of hybrid junctions of graphene nanoribbons of various widths, exhibiting

• , the chiral structure was found to control the self-assembly of nitrocinnamic amide amphiphiles [25]. Works related to the formation of higher-dimensional materials included, for example, the self-assembly of crystalline cellulose oligomers that resulted in nanoribbon networks [26], silicon nanowires

The organic solvents appeared to prevent irregular aggregation and subsequent precipitation of the nanosheets via solvation for further growth into the well-grown

• ; nanoribbon networks; oligomerization-induced self-assembly; organic solvent; Introduction Nanoarchitectonics is an emerging concept based on nanotechnology and other scientific fields, such as supramolecular chemistry, for constructing functional materials and systems in a bottom-up manner with the

• oligomerization-induced self-assembly of cellulose oligomers has yet to be investigated systematically, even though many more candidates are available for small molecules than for polymers and colloidal particles. Herein, we show the formation of nanoribbon networks composed of crystalline cellulose oligomers via
