Sonochemical fabrication of twinned ZnO hollow ellipses for electrochemical biosensing.

Twinned ZnO hollow ellipses (ZnO HEs) have been successfully fabricated by a one-step template-free sonochemical route. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the ZnO HEs had a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the wall of which was composed of ZnO nanorods.
