Four‐by‐four : ZnS tetrapods were directly synthesized from Zn and S vapors with a stainless steel network as the collecting substrate. Each branch has a triangular cross section connected to form a tetrapod structure (see TEM image). The branches have the wurtzite phase and the core has the zinc blende phase. The results provide direct evidence of the zinc blende octahedron nucleus model.
