      abstract     = {Packing of soft spheres, such as micelles, polymer-grafted
                      particles, and microgels, enables the creation of diverse
                      functional materials. Despite the importance of achieving
                      precise structural control, understanding the kinetics of
                      non-equilibrium packing in a large-scale deposition process
                      remains challenging. This study investigates the kinetics of
                      the precursor-assisted close packing of soft spheres using
                      block copolymer micelles as the sphere model. Adding the
                      inorganic precursor SnCl4 is crucial for achieving the close
                      packing, which is versatile and provides a robust platform
                      for tailoring mesoporous materials with tunable pore sizes.
                      The kinetics of the close-packing process are explored by in
                      situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering
                      measurements during slot-die coating. The soft
                      crystallization process shows six distinct stages: dilute
                      dispersion, concentrated dispersion, wet film, structuring
                      wet film, gel film, and glassy film. The close packing
                      develops first in the in-plane direction with rapid domain
                      growth and then advances in the out-of-plane direction.
                      Precursors in the interstitial voids play a key role by
                      mitigating packing frustration and favoring face-centered
                      cubic (FCC) ordering. The structure finally stabilizes into
                      a well-ordered FCC structure with large domain sizes. The
                      derived mesoporous SnO2 features semiconducting properties
                      and enhanced pore connectivity, thus showing superior gas
                      sensing performance toward ethanol.},
