The superior performance of metal oxide nanocomposites has introduced them as excellent candidates for emerging energy sources, and attracted significant attention in recent years. The drawback of these materials is their inherent structural pulverization which adversely impacts their performance and makes the rational design of stable nanocomposites a great challenge. In this work, functional VO-C-SnO hybrid nanobelts (VCSNs) with a stable structure are introduced where the ultradispersed SnO nanocrystals are tightly linked with glucose on the VO surface.

- Y-shaped ZnO nanobelts are created using a simple thermal evaporation method, which is a straightforward fabrication process.
- Investigation via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) reveals that these nanobelts are crystalline with specific twin planes and show distinct termination of oxygen and zinc atoms.
- The growth of these unique Y-shaped structures is attributed to a novel twinned dislocation growth mechanism, as demonstrated by their morphology and TEM characteristics.
Ordered nanoarchitectures have attracted an intense research interest recently because of their promising device applications. They are always fabricated by self-assembling building blocks such as nanowires, nanodots. This kind of bottom up approaches is limited in poor control over height, lateral resolution, aspect ratio, and patterning.
