Hybrid materials is a class of nanostructures comprising the advantages of organic compounds with their chemical and functional diversities in combination with mechanical stability, optical and electrophysical properties of inorganic substances [1]. The synergy of interactions between organic and inorganic components due to the charge/energy exchange processes in hybrid structures may lead to the enhancement of properties or even to the emergence of new physical and chemical effects in these materials. Supramolecular self-assembly at interfaces is a powerful tool for integrating organic and inorganic compounds into hybrid nanostructures for a number of potentially useful applications such as sensing membranes, photoactive surface coatings, charge transferring layers, catalysis and photocatalysis etc. Several interfacial self-assembly strategies rationalizing the design of planar and porous dispersed nanohybrids will be discussed. One-step integration at the air-water interface as well as liquid-interface epitaxy method are applied for fabrication of multifunctional ultrathin planar hybrids and surface-attached SUROMFs for photovoltaic applications (see Figure). Colloidal synthesis in hydrosols and Pickering emulsions is a tool for structuring new hybrid catalysts comprising potent chromophores such as porphyrins. Integration of zinc porphyrins with layered rare earth hydroxides gives symbimetic (i.e., mimicking symbiotic behavior) catalysts as artificial enzymes [2], whereas their hybrids with graphene oxide exhibit the ambivalent photocatalytic properties in aqueous media [3]. These strategies are broadly useful for advancing fabrication of hybrid nanomaterials toward ecology friendly and resource-saving technologies.
