A straightforward, aqueous processing route was demonstrated for the bulk synthesis of single crystalline CdS nanorods with their lateral diameters in the quantum‐confined size region (see picture). This new, aqueous growth method is, in contrast to existing approaches for preparing 1D semiconductor nanocrystals, experimentally simple, much less expensive and more environment‐friendly.
