Design and fabrication of nano or mesoparticles with chemical and optical functions through regulation of their structure and shape are discussed, introducing jingle bell-shaped metal chalcogenide, such as cadmium sulfide, nanoparticles with silica shells, hollow core-shell mesoparticles of titania with silica shells, octahedral and decahedral titania mesoparticles, and flake ball-shaped bismuth tungstate particles of assemblies of nanoplates, all of which are prepared chemically.
