Hot‐wired silica : Titania‐functionalized silica nanowires containing linear arrays of mesocages (see picture) are prepared by a combination of evaporation‐induced self‐assembly of polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide) soft templates inside nanoporous hard templates and atomic layer deposition. This combination allows the independent tuning of the internal fine structure of the nanowires and the properties of their outer surface.
