Folding of two-dimensional nanoparticle superlattices is achieved through templated assembly on as-formed supramolecular nanosheets, which undergo a folding process within the emulsion droplets during the evaporation of the inner phase liquid. Building the folded nanoparticle superlattices opens a new gateway to reshape the properties of inorganic solids.
