In this HOT article, Yuliang Li and coworkers synthesized p–n axial heterojunction inorganic/organic semiconductor nanowire arrays on porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates via electrochemical deposition. This novel synthesis is based on a common concept of using an AAO template. The electrical properties of the heterojunctions of these organic–inorganic materials were investigated, indicating a diode nature and a rectifying feature. These heterojunction nanowire arrays are at the frontier of the materials field, for next-generation electrical and optoelectronic devices.
