In this work, with the intent of developing zinc tin oxide nanowires (ZTO NWs) by low-cost and low-complexity processes, we show a detailed study on the influence of chemical parameters in the hydrothermal synthesis of ZTO nanostructures at temperatures of only 200 °C. Two different zinc precursors, the ratio between zinc and tin precursors, the concentration of the surfactant agent and of the mineralizer were studied. The type and the crystallinity of the nanostructures was found to be highly dependent on the used precursors and on the concentration of each reagent. Conditions for obtaining different ZTO nanostructures were achieved, namely Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles and ZnSnO3 nanowires with length ≈ 600 nm, with the latter being reported for the first time ever by hydrothermal methods without the use of seed layers. Optical and electrical properties were analyzed, being obtained band gaps of 3.60 and 3.46 eV, fo...&lt;/p&gt;
