Abstract	In this Letter, three-dimensional (3D) interconnected networks of ZnO nanowires and nanorods are synthesized by a high temperature solid–vapor deposition process. The nanorods and nanowires have diameters of 20–100 nm and they grow along the c-axis. Due to the diverse orientation of the nanowires grown from a polycrystalline substrate, the networks are formed by a sintering process of the crossed nanowires during growth. The thickness of the multilayer nano-network could be as thick as � 30 lm. The sharp nanowire tips, the high degree of networking, and high surface area of these unique nanonetworks make them a potential candidate for field emission, ultra-sensitive gas sensing, catalysts and filtering. � 2005 Elsevier B.V.
