title: Formation of ZnO hexagonal micro-pyramids: a successful control of the exposed polar surfaces with the assistance of an ionic liquid.
abstract: Wurtzite ZnO hexagonal micro-pyramids, with all exposed surfaces being polar +/- (0001) and {1011} planes, have been successfully synthesized using ionic liquids as solvents.
