In and out of tube: Robust poly‐3,4‐ethylene‐dioxythiophene nanostructures in the form of nanopore arrays and inverse nanotube arrays are obtained by site‐selective deposition into TiO 2 nanotubes. The deposition process critically depends on the applied potential (see picture) and is in line with three‐dimensional (3D) progressive and 3D instantaneous nucleation‐growth mechanism, leading to the construction of polymer blocks or polymer/semiconductor hybrids.
