The hierarchical nanostructures built from nanounits, such as nanoparticles, nanorods/wires/belts, and nanoplates/disks/sheets, which exhibit unique physical and chemical properties different from those of nanounits, have been widely investigated. To find and investigate the novel nanoarchitectures or hierarchical nanostructures for some functional compounds is still an interesting task not only in answering basic research questions but also in technological applications. This article reviews the recent progress of hierarchical nanomaterials research. In this article mesoporous material, hollow structures, aerogel and other typical hierarchical nanostructures are mainly introduced. A lot of useful solution-phase synthesis routes are classified according to the category, including hydro/solvothermal routes, template methods, solid spheres as precursors, structure-directed reagent assistant methods and irradiation of microwave reaction. The latest developments of hierarchical nanostructures prepared by above methods and their synthesis routes, mechanism are described in detail. And a brief outlook of potential applications of these new materials is also given.
