“…It has gained significant attention because of the unique optical, piezoelectric and magnetic properties, as well as its capability of band gap tuning [1,2]. Non-catalytically grown ZnO nanostructures can be observed in various morphologies such as nanowires [3], nanobelts [4], nanobridges and nanonails [5], nanoshells [6], tetrapods [1,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The latter is one of the most gorgeous structures with many promising applications in solar cells [9], lasers [10,20], field emitters [14], UV and gas sensors [7,11].…”
