directions to form a dendrite, the proposed attachment planes and directions for Ag nanoparticles are 3×{422} planes and <211> directions, respectively. When the concentration increases to 1 mol/L, the primary building nanoparticles orientotionally aggregate along <211> directions to form dendrites. The dendrites that can be proposed as the second building units orientationally attach along <110> directions to construct a porous monocrystalline plate, and finally transit to a mesocrystal with a thickness about 50 nm. When the AgNO3 concentration is 2 mol/L, the building units are Ag triangle platelets. These platelets also orientationally attach along <110> directions to form a monocrystalline dense plate and finally the plate transforms to monocrystalline mesocrystal with a thickness over 100 nm"/>
