A simple one‐step procedure for 1D structures : Directed self‐assembly of hybrid materials based on a poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer template and CdSe nanoparticles in situ is an effective nanofabrication tool to form well‐defined semiconducting hybrid nanofibers coated with discrete Au nanoparticles (nanoalloy). Such functional nanofibers will offer great potential in various applications, such as biological markers and nanoprobes among others.
