Photoactive nanowires: A novel photo‐electrochemical nanowire diode that catalyzes the conversion of methanol and water to hydrogen under UV light is demonstrated. The wire consists of a metal and a metal oxide segment that are connected via a Schottky barrier. Other functions, such as remote‐ controlled autonomous movement, can be easily added to these wires in a modular fashion.
