A method of preparing a core-shell nanorod can include growing a shell of a core-shell nanorod (M1X1)M2X2 in a solution through a slow-injection of M2 precursor solution and X2 precursor solution, wherein the core-shell nanorod includes a M1X1 core.

Provided are printed patterns and objects including, for example, a film or 3D object, which may include one or more nanorods. According to the subject matter provided, the nanorods may reduce or diminish inter-particle interaction in the pattern or object.
