Face-selective tungstate ions drive zinc oxide nanowire growth direction and dopant incorporation

Face-selective tungstate ions drive zinc oxide nanowire growth direction and dopant incorporation

Controlling the growth processes of nanowires is vital for tailoring their properties. Here, the presence of tungstate ions on specific surface planes of zinc oxide nanowires causes nanowire growth and chemical doping along specific crystal planes.
