A novel heterostructure is developed by grafting 1D SnO2 nanorods onto both sides of pre-grown 2D Fe2O3 nanoflakes, forming a comb-like rather than tree-like branched nanostructure. The SnO2 nanorod branches are determined to grow along the [001] direction on the (±001) planes of Fe2O3 nanoflakes. T...
