This article is published with open access at Abstract This paper reports two new indium tin oxide ITO -based nanostructures namely ITO@carbon coreshell nanowire and jagged ITO nanowire. The ITO@car-bon core-shell nanowires 50 nm in diameter 1-5 m in length were prepared by a chemical vapor deposition process from commercial ITO nanoparticles. A carbon overlayer 5-10 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 40-45 nm in diameter . The growth mechanisms of ITO@carbon core-shell nanowire and jagged ITO nanowire were also suggested. Keywords Chemical vapor deposition Core-shell Indium tin oxide Nanowire Introduction 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 1-14 . Therefore extensive efforts have been reported to the synthesis and application of ITO materials with various morphologies including nanopowders films and nanorods nanowires 1-3 8-19 . ITO nanorods and nanowires have been prepared by carbon- Y. Wang L. Lu F.
