We report on the self-assembly of colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets into micrometers long anisotropic needle-like superparticles (SPs), which are formed in solution upon addition of an antisolvent to a stable colloidal dispersion. Optical fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering provide detailed structural characterization and show that each particle is composed of 106 nanoplatelets organized in highly aligned columns. Within the SPs, the nanoplatelets are stacked on each other to maximize the contact surface between the ligands. When deposited on a substrate, the planes of the platelets are oriented perpendicularly to its surface and the SPs exhibit polarized emission properties.
