Nanorods of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) —a ferro‐ and piezoelectric material—up to 10 μm in length and 70 to 150 nm in diameter are produced by sol‐gel electrophoresis of PZT in a track‐etched polycarbonate membrane, which is used as a template. The Figure gives a close‐up view of a PZT film with nanowires attached, as obtained after pyrolytic removal of the organic template.
