A Facile Polymer Templating Route Toward High‐Aspect‐Ratio Crystalline Titania Nanostructures

Abstract
High-aspect-ratio rutile and anatase hybrid nanowires are produced via a template-directed process using a novel cylindrical polyelectrolyte brush template. Loading the highly negatively charged 1D templates with pre-synthesized TiO(2) nanocrystals, results in the fabrication of soluble crystalline TiO(2) hybrid nanowires.
