Ultrathin tin‐doped zinc oxide (Sn‐doped ZnO) nanowires with uniform diameters of 2.3 ± 0.2 nm were synthesized by means of a facile colloidal method employing an aminolysis approach. This finding suggests that the introduction of group IV dopants may serve as an effective strategy to control the shape of doped ZnO nanocrystals. This doping procedure may be extended to the synthesis of other doped oxide nanocrystals.
