title: Heterogeneous ZnS hollow urchin-like hierarchical nanostructures and their structure-enhanced photocatalytic properties.
abstract: Hexagonal wurtzite ZnS nanowires radially arrayed on cubic zinc-blende ZnS hollow spheres have been successfully achieved for the first time, and such novel heterogeneous ZnS hollow urchin-like hierarchical nanostructures show greatly enhanced photocatalytic properties due to their two-phase enhanced light-harvesting and high surface-to-volume ratio.
