High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is used to observe a TiO2/ITO‐coated composite nanostructure grown onto single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The SWCNTs, indium tin oxide (ITO), and TiO2 mixtures of anatase (A) and rutile (R) are clearly distinguished in the HRTEM images. The thickness of the SWCNT was about 3 nm, and the TiO2 shell included different polycrystalline structures.
