Oriented attachment is the key : Single crystalline ZnO nanorods with lengths up to 500 nm could be prepared in a stepwise manner from quasi‐spherical nanoparticles. Only after the formation of pearl‐chain‐like structures (left), do the aggregated particles fuse upon heating to form nanorods (center and right).
