Synthesis of ITO nanowires and nanorods with corundum structure by a co-precipitation-anneal method

Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanowires and nanorods were synthesized by a co-precipitation-anneal process. Both the nanowires and the nanorods had nearly uniform diameter of ca. 60 nm. The nanowires had long and straight morphology with length up to several micrometers. Moreover, the products were the ITO with corundum structure. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
