Herein, I present two synthetic methods for the formation of hybrid nanostructures composed from metal and semiconductor components. ... The first method that I present in this work enables the synthesis of metal-ZnO nanopyramids for three different metals (Au, Ag, and Cu) by utilizing a relatively simple approach that is based on a one-pot chemical reaction. This synthetic approach enables selective growth of the metal domain to be obtained at either the base or the tip of the ZnO nanopyramids. ... The second method enables synthesis of ternary Au-CdS-ZnO hybrid nanostructures by a non-conventional strategy that combines two different synthetic approaches: heterogeneous seeded growth and solution-liquid-solid (SLS) growth. Each of these synthetic routes is used for growing a different domain of the final heterostructure where ZnO rods are grown first on Au nanoparticles via heterogeneous nucleation, while CdS is later grown between these two domains via SLS using the Au tip of the preformed Au-ZnO as a catalyst. ...
