Size‐tailored ZnO submicrometer spheres are synthesized based on bottom‐up laser processing. A heating–melting–evaporating mechanism is responsible for the formation of submicrometer‐scale spherical particles. The size‐related optical extinction and selective aniline trapping on ZnO submicrometer spheres indicate that they are potential candidates for optical and gas‐sensing applications.
