The ITO nanoparticles were used as self-catalysts to decompose acetylene gas, thus forming a new ITO-based complex 1D structure, namely core–shell nanowires. In this study, we demonstrated that a CVD process could be applied to the fabrication of core–shell nanowires directly by commercial ITO nanoparticles. Carbon nanotubes-encapsulated Sn-Sb nanorods have been fabricated in a CVD process in our previous efforts. Catalysts, such as Co, Fe, are usually required to facilitate the decomposition of carbon source gas. Ĭhemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique is an effective route to grow one-dimensional carbonaceous materials such as carbon nanotubes or carbon nanofibers. reported ITO-TiO 2 core–shell nanostructure with enhanced properties when used as electrode for solar cells.

However, there is few report about complex ITO-based one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials. It is anticipated that some unusual but interesting properties may be generated by further varying morphologies of ITO materials. These nanorods or nanowires displayed some interesting properties that were ascribed to the unique one-dimensional shape. ITO nanorods and nanowires have been prepared by carbon-assisted synthesis, Au-catalyzed vapor–liquid–solid growth, direct thermal heating, and solvothermal method.

Therefore, extensive efforts have been reported to the synthesis and application of ITO materials with various morphologies including nanopowders, films, and nanorods/nanowires. Indium tin oxide (ITO), a wide band-gap semiconducting material, has been widely used in various fields including liquid crystal display, solar cell, gas sensor, and optoelectronic devices.
