A facile solvothermal synthetic route has been developed to prepare CuInTe 2 nanowires with the template aiding of anodic aluminum oxide. Microstructure analysis reveals that the as‐prepared single crystalline CuInTe 2 nanowires have a [112] direction preferential growth. Oriented attachment mechanism has been proposed to explain the anisotropic growth of CuInTe 2 nanowires during a polycrystalline‐to‐single‐crystalline transformation process. CuInTe 2 nanowires have strong absorption in the visible region based on UV‐Vis absorption spectra measurement, confirming its suitability as a light absorbing material in solar cells.
