Highly organized monolayer and multilayer films of titania nanosheets have been fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly of large-sized sheets and subsequent ultrasonic treatment. Overlapped or crumpled portions of the nanosheets in an as-deposited film are effectively trimmed upon ultrasonication in a tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution, resulting in neat tiling of the nanosheets without gaps and extensive overlaps (see Figure).
