Tree-like SnO2nanowires have been grown by a vapor–solid process using a milled SnO2powder as the evaporation source. Phase, structural evolution and chemical composition were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The process yields a large proportion of ultra-long rutile nanowires of 50–150nm diameter and lengths up to several tens of micrometers. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) shows that the SnO2nanowires are single crystals in the (101) growth direction with scattered smaller crystals or nanowires as the tree branches. The SnO2nanostructures were also examined using Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A strong emission band centered at 548nm dominated the PL spectrum of the tree-like nanowires.
