Large-scale uniform dumbbell-like ZnO microcrystals were successfully synthesized via a facile solution method under mild conditions. The as-prepared dumbbells, with lengths of 3.5−5.4 μm and ...

Because the templates (or crystal seeds) provided nanoscale preferential nucleation sites for the subsequent growth, changing ZnO supersaturation and growth temperature led to distinct growth modes, ...

ZnO/Zn(OH)2 nanosheets on copper foil enhance lithiophilicity and stabilize lithium metal anodes for improved cycling ...
