High‐aspect‐ratio rutile and anatase hybrid nanowires are produced via a template‐directed process using a novel cylindrical polyelectrolyte brush template. Loading the highly negatively charged 1D templates with pre‐synthesized TiO 2 nanocrystals, results in the fabrication of soluble crystalline TiO 2 hybrid nanowires.
