Abstract
Inorganic nanotubes have attracted much attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. Nanotubes can be prepared by scrolling exfoliated nanosheets under ambient conditions. However, how the nanosheet scrolled in its colloidal state has not been experimentally visualized. In this paper, we directly observed the scrolling process of nanosheets upon adsorption of organic cations. Exfoliated flat nanosheets of niobate and clay in aqueous colloids were found to scroll by adding organic cations, such as exfoliation reagents, to the colloids. Employment of cationic stilbazolium dye enabled in situ observation of the dye adsorption and scrolling by optical microscopy based on changes in color and morphology of the nanosheets. The scrolling was promoted for nanosheets adsorbed with a stilbazolium dye with a longer alkyl chain, suggesting that the interaction between the hydrophobic parts of the dye cations is the driving force of the scrolling. This finding should encourage research on the formation of nanotubes from nanosheets and also provides important guidelines for the selection of appropriate exfoliation reagents when exfoliating nanosheets from layered crystals.

Abstract
Formation of a desirable submillimeter-scaled assembled structure of particles in the colloid is a difficult subject in colloidal chemistry. Herein, a submillimeter-scaled ordered assembled structure consisting of highly anisotropic two-dimensional plate-like particles, niobate nanosheets, was obtained through an optical manipulation technique that was assisted by a scattering-force-induced stream. A 532 nm continuous wave laser beam with a power of 400 mW was used to illuminate a liquid crystalline niobate nanosheet colloid from the bottom side of a sample cell, inducing the stream of oriented nanosheets toward the upper side of the sample cell. As a result, a 200 μm ordered assembled structure consisting of oriented nanosheets was formed. The assembled structure was also characterized by two-dimensional anisotropy, reflecting that the highly anisotropic morphologies of each nanosheet and the shape of that structure were dependent on the polarization of incident illumination. This study has revealed a new noncontact and on-demand way to obtain submillimeter-scaled ordered anisotropic colloidal assembled structures of nanosized particles such as nanosheets, contributing to fundamental materials science and expanding the utilities of nanosheets.

Abstract
Aqueous binary colloids of niobate and clay nanosheets, prepared by the exfoliation of their mother layered crystals, are unique colloidal systems characterized by the separation of niobate and clay nanosheet phases, where niobate nanosheets form liquid crystalline domains with the size of several tens of micrometers among isotropically dispersed clay nanosheets. The binary colloids show unusual photocatalytic reactions because of the spatial separation of photocatalytically active niobate and photochemically inert clay nanosheets. The present study shows structural conversion of the binary colloids with an external electric field, resulting in the onsite alignment of colloidal nanosheets to improve the photocatalytic performance of the system. The colloidal structure is reshaped by the growth of liquid crystalline domains of photocatalytic niobate nanosheets and by their electric alignment. Niobate nanosheets are assembled by the domain growth process and then aligned by AC voltage, although clay nanosheets do not respond to the electric field. Photocatalytic decomposition of the cationic rhodamine 6G dye, which is selectively adsorbed on clay nanosheets, is examined for the niobate-clay binary nanosheet colloids with or without domain growth and electric field. The fastest decomposition is observed for the electrically aligned colloid without the domain growth, whereas the sample with the domain growth and without the electric alignment shows the slowest decomposition. The results demonstrate the improvement of the photocatalytic performance by changing the colloidal structure, even though the sample composition is the same.

Abstract
Controlling colloidal self-assemblies using external forces is essential to develop modern electro-optical and biomedical devices. Importantly, shape anisotropic colloids can provide optical properties such as birefringence. Here we demonstrate that external temperature gradients can be effective in controlling nematic liquid crystalline (LC) order in suspensions of plate-like colloids also known as nanoplates. Nanoplates, in an isotropic suspension, wherein their orientations are random, could be effectively moved using a temperature gradient environment causing a phase transition to LC nematic phase. Such controllably formed nematic phase featured large nematic monodomains and enabled topologically more stable structures that were evident from the absence of hedgehog-type defects which are typically found in nematics formed spontaneously via nucleation and growth mechanism in a sufficiently high concentration suspension of nanoplates. Due to their high surface area-to-volume ratio and excellent thermophoretic properties, nanoplates can prove to be ideal candidates for transport of biomolecules through temperature varying environments.

Abstract
Inorganic layered materials can be converted to colloidal liquid crystals through exfoliation into inorganic nanosheets, and binary nanosheet colloids exhibit rich phase behavior characterized by multiphase coexistence. In particular, niobate-clay binary nanosheet colloids are characterized by phase separation at a mesoscopic (∼several tens of micrometers) scale whereas they are apparently homogeneous at a macroscopic scale. Although the mesoscopic structure of the niobate-clay binary colloid is advantageous to realize unusual photochemical functions, the structure itself has not been clearly demonstrated in real space. The present study investigated the structure of niobate-clay binary nanosheet colloids in detail. Four clay nanosheets (hectorite, saponite, fluorohectorite, and tetrasilisic mica) with different lateral sizes were compared. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) indicated lamellar ordering of niobate nanosheets in the binary colloid. The basal spacing of the lamellar phase was reduced by increasing the concentration of clay nanosheets, indicating the compression of the liquid crystalline niobate phase by the isotropic clay phase. Scattering and fluorescence microscope observations using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) demonstrated the phase separation of niobate and clay nanosheets in real space. Niobate nanosheets assembled into domains of several tens of micrometers whereas clay nanosheets were located in voids between the niobate domains. The results clearly confirmed the spatial separation of two nanosheets and the phase separation at a mesoscopic scale. Distribution of clay nanosheets is dependent on the employed clay nanosheets; the nanosheets with large lateral length are more localized or assembled. This is in harmony with larger basal spacings of niobate lamellar phase for large clay particles. Although three-dimensional compression of the niobate phase by the coexisting clay phase was observed at low clay concentrations, the basal spacing of niobate phase was almost constant irrespective of niobate concentrations at high clay concentrations, which was ascribed to competition of compression by clay phase and restoring of the niobate phase.

Abstract
Inorganic nanosheets obtained by exfoliation of a layered crystal in water form colloidal liquid crystals, and their alignment can be controlled by an electric field. In order to realize the immobilization of the electrically aligned niobate nanosheets without external forces, an aqueous gelator, agar, is introduced to the niobate nanosheet system to utilize the thermosensitive sol-gel transition property of agar. Alignment of nanosheets in a niobate-agar system is performed by applying an electric field above the sol-gel transition temperature, and then, the sample is cooled down, followed by cooling below the transition temperature with the electric field turned off. The aligned structure is kept for more than 24 h after the removal of the electric field. The concentration of agar is a key parameter for both the orientation of nanosheets and the retention of the orientation.

Abstract
Two-dimensional colloidal nanomaterials are running into renaissance after the enlightening researches of graphene. Macroscopic one-dimensional fiber is an optimal ordered structural form to express the in-plane merits of 2D nanomaterials, and the formation of liquid crystals (LCs) allows the creation of continuous fibers. In the correlated system from LCs to fibers, understanding their macroscopic organizing behavior and transforming them into new solid fibers is greatly significant for applications. Herein, we retrospect the history of 2D colloids and discuss about the concept of 2D nanomaterial fibers in the context of LCs, elaborating the motivation, principle and possible strategies of fabrication. Then we highlight the creation, development and typical applications of graphene fibers. Additionally, the latest advances of other 2D nanomaterial fibers are also summarized. Finally, conclusions, challenges and perspectives are provided to show great expectations of better and more fibrous materials of 2D nanomaterials. This review gives a comprehensive retrospect of the past century-long effort about the whole development of 2D colloids, and plots a clear roadmap - "lamellar solid - LCs - macroscopic fibers - flexible devices", which will certainly open a new era of structural-multifunctional application for the conventional 2D colloids.
