Taking advantage of this novel LbL fabrication technique, the properties of multilayer plasmonic nanocrystal arrays stacked in a homogeneous matrix can be manipulated via tuning the interlayer or intralayer coupling between nanocrystals, which can be achieved by sophisticated control of the packing density of two-dimensional nanocrystal arrays in each individual layer or the thickness of the polymer thin film between two adjacent nanocrystal arrays, respectively. These results provide a facile and effective way of designing a more complex multilayer nanostructure with controllable properties in a homogeneous polymer matrix.An emulsion-templated porous material can be formed by polymerizing the continuous phase of high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPEs). Although polymerization is a key step to maintain the pore size and integrity of the final sponge, it lowers the effective specific surface area of the final sponge as the continuous phase makes up at least half of the HIPE's volume. Hence, eliminating the need of polymerization not only eases the material processing but also leads to a greater specific surface area. Here, we report a novel strategy in which none of the emulsion phases require polymerization and is therefore a versatile methodology. For this purpose, several oil-in-water Pickering emulsions were prepared using graphene oxide (GO) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the stabilizing agents. GO nanosheets are then reduced by mixing the emulsions with an adequate amount of vitamin C as a green reducing agent. Removal of the oil phase via multiple washing and boiling steps results in the formation of the ultimate reduced graphene oxide (rGO
