The special branch : Tetrapod‐branched ZnSe nanorod architectures have been synthesized via a simple Sn‐catalyzed thermal evaporation process. Each branch within these architectures has a hexagon‐like cross section and well‐ defined crystallographic facets, thus forming a regular hexagonal prismatic structure. The lengths and diameters of the branches are ≈180–250 and ≈80–120 nm, respectively.
