The AFM images of the assemblies after spin‐coating onto mica substrates are also depicted: large plates were obtained on the surface at high rotational speed (7000 rpm, a and b); the plates merged at lower rotational speed (5000 rpm, c) and, finally, fully disintegrate into the 2D network of ribbons (d). A cross‐sectional plot of three representative plates is also shown (e, also depicted as yellow line in b) exhibited uniform heights and diameters of c. 450 and 2.5 nm, respectively.
