Using water‐assisted chemical vapor deposition , aligned CNT–ZnO (CNT: carbon nanotube) heterojunctions are formed on a Zn substrate. The aligned CNT heterojunctions with intimately connected ZnO particles/rods show interesting optoelectronic properties of practical significance. This cost‐effective and efficient approach can be scaled up for the production of large‐area heterojunction arrays (see figure).
