title: Hydrothermal synthesis of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures with different aspect ratios.
abstract: 1-D ZnO nanorods with different aspect ratios were synthesized by a one-step, hydrothermal method. The ZnO nanorods grow along the [0001] direction to form single crystals. The experimental results reveal that the growth of polar inorganic crystals is sensitive to the reaction solvents.
