A novel microwave plasma reactor which can produce bulk quantity of metal oxide nanowires and nanoparticles has been successfully developed. A custom made wave applicator which produces high density of plasma jet discharge in a large volume has been designed. Low cost, very fast, large scale production of different metal oxide nanowires can be accomplished using this reactor.
