a, Schematic illustrating how the orientation of the NPLs could be tuned by adjusting the solvent type and evaporation rate. The insets show TEM images of the face-down (top), mixed (middle) and edge-up (bottom) NPLs drop-cast onto copper TEM grids. b–d, Steady-state PL and UV–vis spectra of colloidal solutions of NPLs that were used to form the face-down (b), mixed (c) and edge-up (d) orientation NPL films, respectively. e–g, Two-dimensional GIWAXS data of face-down (e), mixed (f) and edge-up (g) NPL films. qz is the scattering vector component along the surface normal; qr is the scattering vector component in the sample plane.
