Self-Assembled Highly Faceted Wurtzite-Type ZnS Single-Crystalline Nanotubes with Hexagonal Cross-Sections

Highly faceted wurtzite‐type ZnS nanotubes with hexagonal cross‐sections have been self‐assembled via a thermochemistry process. The self‐assembled growth along the c‐axis is associated with the non‐central and polar surfaces of the ZnS structure (see Figure and inside cover). Photoluminescence at room temperature shows a weak blue and a strong green emission band.
