A Sn‐nanorod‐templated process was used for the first synthesis of single‐crystalline wurtzite‐type ZnS nanotubes. The as‐grown ZnS nanotubes are structurally uniform single crystals and are partially filled with Sn (see picture). Most of the tubes are straight with lengths ranging from several to tens of micrometers, diameters of about 150–250 nm, and wall thicknesses of about 50–80 nm.
