Conclusions
In summary, we have successfully synthesized ZnS fishbone-like nanostructures on ITO glass substrate by a simply thermal evaporation method. Through this one-step method, we were able to synthesize high purity ZnS complex fishbone-like nanostructures on a large scale. As-grown ZnS fishbone-like nanostructures may be used as building block to fabricate high-performance sensors and transducers. Choosing proper experimental conditions, this simple method may also be extended to synthesize other semiconductor 1D nanomaterials.
