Multi‐walled TaS 2 nanotubes are synthesized from anodized Ta 2 O 5 nanotube templates in a gas‐phase reaction, with control over the length, diameter, and number of TaS 2 layers within a nanotube. TaS 2 nanotubes exhibit elevated superconducting transition temperatures and suppressed charge density wave transition temperatures compared to bulk, offering a straightforward method of characterizing other transition metal dichalcogenide materials in reduced dimensions.
