Abstract: Branched tree-like nanoarrays are emerging as an exciting addition to the family of oriented semiconducting nanomaterials. Besides high temperature solid state and vapor-liquid-solid (VLS), a site-specific sequential nucleation and growth route to the systematic building of hierarchical, complex, and oriented ZnO micro/nanostructures in solution synthesis has been developed. Herein, we present a one-step, low cost, and environment-benign route to growing large-scale arrays of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide by solution chemistry. The growth mechanism and their possible applications have been suggested.
