In this way, we can obtain several morphologies of crystals with core-shell structure, such as spherical, nanowires, nanotubes, nanobonds, nanowires and nanostars . Its application occurs in several areas, such as catalysis, electronics, photonics, energy capture, drug administration, cell therapy, cancer treatment, biotechnology and environmental applications , depending on the chosen technique is possible to obtain different structural dimension. Examples of the conventional and unconventional hydro(solvo)thermal growth of decorated materials are summarised in Table .
