An oxidative metal vapor transport deposition technique is used for the synthesis of ultrathin β‐Bi 2 O 3 nanowires, which exploits spatial‐temporal separation of Bi evaporation, vapor transport, droplet formation, and oxidative nucleation and growth. The nanowires grow via a self‐catalyzed, reaction‐coupled vapor–liquid–solid route, with potential for the general synthesis of metal oxide nanowires.
