Single‐crystalline InVO 4 nanotubes have been successfully synthesized by annealing electrospun precursor fibers. The products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, which demonstrated that they are single‐crystalline nanotubes. The growth of these nanotubes is considered to be a two‐step process involving a self‐template‐directed mechanism.
