SnO<sub>2</sub> nanorods were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method using tin chloride, liquid ammonia, sodium hydroxide and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as starting materials. Structural properties and surface morphologies of the SnO<sub>2</sub> nanorods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Experimental results showed that the diameter of the nanorods is in the range of 100–300 nm with a length of several micrometers. The hydrothermal treatment temperature was found to play an important role in determining the morphology and diameter of the SnO<sub>2</sub> nanorods. Possible growth mechanisms of SnO<sub>2</sub> nanorods were proposed.
