Nanoparticle flowers blossom on nanowire trunks (cover art image in Nano Lett): The illustration shows SEM images of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) decorated CuO nanowires (NWs) synthesized by the sol-flame method. The ultrafast heating rate and high temperature of flame enables the unique NP chain structures (right bottom) with large loading of NPs (left) and uniform coverage on the entire substrate (right top).

Branched TiO2 nanorods array synthesized by two-step hydrothermal method; comparing to TiO2 nanorods array, the synthesized branched nanorods array showed two times improvement of photoelectrochemical hydrogen production performance due to enhanced surface area and small diameter of the branches.

Flames are able to rapidly oxidize and evaporate metals at high temperatures and atmospheric pressures. Our flame synthesis methods are inherently scalable to larger areas to due chemical heat generation by the flame, rather than by external heating that is commonly used in conventional methods.
