“…In the past few years, ZnGa 2 O 4 nanowires and thin films have been synthesized using various methods such as solid-state reaction [ 7 , 15 , 16 ], sputtering [ 8 ], sol–gel processing [ 17 ], electrophoresis [ 18 ], pulsed laser deposition [ 19 ], thermal evaporation [ 20 , 21 ], and chemical vapor deposition [ 22 - 26 ]. However, the synthesis of hierarchical ZnGa 2 O 4 nanostructures has not been investigated yet.…”
