%X This paper reports two new indium tin oxide (ITO)-based nanostructures, namely ITO@carbon core每shell nanowire and jagged ITO nanowire. The ITO@carbon core每shell nanowires (~50 nm in diameter, 1每5 米m in length,) were prepared by a chemical vapor deposition process from commercial ITO nanoparticles. A carbon overlayer (~5每10 in thickness) was observed around ITO nanowire core, which was in situ formed by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene gas. This carbon overlayer could be easily removed after calcination in air at an elevated temperature of 700∼C, thus forming jagged ITO nanowires (~40每45 nm in diameter). The growth mechanisms of ITO@carbon core每shell nanowire and jagged ITO nanowire were also suggested.
