We investigated the physicochemical and transport phenomena governing the self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles at the interface of two immiscible fluids. By combining in situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) with a temporal resolution of 200 ms and electron microscopy measurements, we gained new insights into the coupled effects of solvent spreading, nanoparticle assembly, and recession of the vapor-liquid interface on the morphology of the self-assembled thin films. We focus on oleate-passivated PbSe nanoparticles dispersed across an ethylene glycol subphase as a model system and demonstrate how solvent parameters such as surface tension, nanoparticle solubility, aromaticity, and polarity influence the mesoscale morphology of the nanoparticle superlattice. We discovered that a nanoparticle precursor monolayer film spreads in front of the bulk solution and influences the fluid spreading across the subphase. Improved understanding of the impact of kinetic phenomena (i.e., solvent spreading and evaporation) on the superlattice morphology is important to describe the formation mechanism and ultimately enable the assembly of high-quality superlattices with long-range order.
