摘要

DNA molecules and their nanostructures possess extraordinary programmability that facilitates guiding the synthesis of nanomaterials and assembly of nanoparticles in a controlled manner. The resulting products have unique advantages in many innovative and promising applications. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on DNA-guided fabrication of inorganic nanomaterials. We will introduce the representative work using DNA molecule or DNA nanostructure as templates to guide the synthesis of nanomaterials and the assembly of nanoparticles. In addition, the optical and biological applications of inorganic nanomaterials fabricated by DNA in recent years will be discussed in the following part. Finally, we will provide our views on future challenges and prospects in this field in the conclusion section.
