“…ZnO NRs with controlled shape and order could be grown by thermal vapor deposition (TVD) (Huang et al, 2001b;Giri et al, 2010;Li et al, 2008;Yao et al, 2002), metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (Yuan & Zhang, 2004;Park et al, 2002;Kim et al, 2009), molecular beam epitaxy (Heo et al, 2002), hydrothermal/solvothermal methods (Breedon et al, 2009;Verges et al, 1990;Alvi et al, 2010;Tak & Yong, 2005;Pacholski et al, 2002;Song & Lim, 2007) and top down approach by etching (Wu et al, 2004). Among those techniques, vapor deposition and chemical methods are the widely used techniques for their versatility about controllability, repeatability, quality and mass production.…”
