In this study, we report a versatile wet chemical synthesis approach, converting the surface of functional tetrapodal zinc oxide (t-ZnO) into common metal hydroxides. We performed structural, morphological and interface characterization, and explored subsequent application of various t ZnO@metal hydroxide/oxide core-shell structures as ultraviolet (UV) sensors. The t-ZnO core was uniformly coated with different metal hydroxides initially, forming distinct platelets in a core-shell architecture. Interface studies were conducted to investigate the chemical, structural, and morphological properties of these hybrid microstructures using 2D scanning nano X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), bulk XRD, X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Our findings highlight the potential of exceptional t ZnO structures to prove as versatile templates, offering their morphology for the synthesis of derived oxides and hydroxides of many other elements while leveraging their structural advantages. tetrapodal ZnO, metal hydroxide/oxide core-shell structures, interface characterization, ultraviolet sensing, metal oxide semiconductors, versatile wet chemical synthesis database Tjardts, Tim Author aut Chair for Multicomponent Materials, Department for Materials Science, Kiel University, Kaiserstr. 2, 24143, Kiel, Germany Zeller- Plumhoff, Berit Author aut Data-driven Analysis and Design of Materials, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technologies, University of Rostock, Germany , Institute of Metallic Biomaterials, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Max-Planck-Str. 1, 21502 Geesthacht, Germany Schürmann, Ulrich Author aut Synthesis and Real Structure Group, Department for Materials Science, Kiel University, Kaiserstr. 2, 24143 Kiel, Germany Davydok, Anton Author aut Institute of Metallic Biomaterials, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Max-Planck-Str. 1, 21502 Geesthacht, Germany Wieland, D.C.
