ABSTRACT: Synthesis of TiO2 nanowires directly on conductive and transparent glass substrates would be very useful for various applications such as photovoltaics and photocatalysis. Here, we report for the first time that single-crystalline TiO2 nanowires can be synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (SnO2:F)-coated soda-lime glass substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at a temperature that is below the glass softening temperature (
