We report an 'oxidation state' regulating method for the synthesis of anisotropic wurtzite CoO nanocrytals (NCs) with various shapes, including ultrathin nanosheets and a core-antenna structure for the first time. We show that the decomposition process of precursors was altered by their oxidation, which played a significant role in the unconventional growth.
