There exist a variety of methods to synthesize quasi-one-dimensional nanostructured materials, which include but not limited to vapor phase growth, template-assisted synthesis, sol-gel deposition, surfactant-assisted growth, sonochemical method, hydrothermal method, and electrochemical deposition [21], Among the various methods, the electrochemical anodization method is one of the simplest and cheapest methods to synthesize ordered quasi-one-dimensional nanostructure. 

As another method, sonolysis has been developed by Suslick to decompose carbonyl metal complexes into nanopowders, nanostructured materials, and nanoparticles in solution. Superparamagnetic iron nanoparticles stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or oleic acid were thus obtained upon sonochemical decomposition of... 

The synthesis of nanostructured inorganic materials by sonochemical had already been synthesized a large number of nanostructures of different compositions with comparable or better than the properties of the same when summed with other preparation methods. The versatility of this method also extends to the relative flexibility of reaction conditions such as the nature of the precursors and their solutions, the possibility of addition of auxiliaries, and the presence of traps (species immobilized) to the nanoparticles. All types of metallic nanostructured materials synthesized by sonochemical described (powders, colloids, or nanoparticles supported) can also be obtained for other classes of compounds such as oxides [58-60], sulfides [61], Suslick [20, 62], and more recently selenides [63, 64] and tellurides [65].
