Two-dimensionally (2D) ordered micro- and nanostructure arrays have attracted considerable attention because of their novel and/or enhanced properties arising from the patterned structures. Monolayer colloidal crystals (MCCs) assembled from colloidal spheres have been widely employed for the controllable fabrication of a variety of 2D ordered micro- and nanostructure arrays because this strategy has been demonstrated to be facile, inexpensive, efficient, and versatile. This review paper summarizes the recent progress in the functional 2D ordered arrays based on MCCs, including their applications in 2D photonic crystal sensors, plasmonic nanostructure arrays, solar energy conversion devices, optic and optoelectronic devices, surface wetting and adhesion, biomedical materials, etc. Particular attention is paid to our recent advances in the controlled fabrication and applications of ZnS nanobowl arrays, heterostructured Ag2S-Ag nanobowl arrays, heterostructured TiO2 nanorod@nanobowl arrays, and single crystal calcite microlens arrays. Firstly, large-area ZnS nanobowl arrays with a monolayer inverse opal structure were synthesized facilely by nanosphere lithography at solution surface through direct solution deposition. Owing to the 2D periodic structure of the hexagonally ordered nanobowl arrays and the high refractive index of ZnS, the obtained ZnS nanobowl arrays showed intensive structural colors and tunable photonic band-gap properties. The as-prepared ZnS nanobowl arrays can be used as a sensitive 2D photonic crystal sensor for fast detection of organic solvents and for visual oil sensing. After surface functionalization, the ZnS nanobowl arrays can be used as an effective 2D photonic crystal biosensor for sensitive detection of avidin molecules. Secondly, unique AgeS-Ag heterostructured nanobowl arrays consisting of AgeS nanonets lying on Ag nanobowl arrays were fabricated by two-step nanosphere lithography at the gas-liquid interface. The heterostructured nanobowl arrays exhibited effective resistance
