Without any catalysts-assisted, homobranched ZnO nano/microstructure had been synthesized via a simple low temperature water bath method. Such nano/microstructure which consists of shuttle-like nano/microrod backbone was surrounded by six radial oriented branches. The length of the shuttle-like ZnO nano/microrods is about 5–10 μm. The diameter of the single shuttle-like nano/microrods is 1–2.5 μm at the stem and 10–50 nm at the tip while the branches size from top to bottom is 10–50 nm to 0.5–1 μm. A strong ultraviolet emission and weak deep level emission reflect the high optical quality. In addition, a detailed discussion regarding the probable growth mechanism is presented in this work.
