Uniform ultrathin Pt nanotubes, Pt and Pd nanowires with diameters of only several nanometers and a very‐high aspect ratio of ∼10 000 can be fabricated using ultrathin Te nanowires as both reducing agent and sacrificial template in ethylene glycol. The valences of metal precursors have a crucial effect on the morphology of the nanostructures.
