Synthesis of heterosegment-junctioned hybrid nanotubes of polythiophene and heterometallic nanoparticles by sequential template-based electropolymerization.

New heterosegment-junctioned hybrid nanotubes of polythiophene and heterometallic nanoparticles (Pd, Au NPs) have been synthesized by sequential electropolymerization of terthiophene-modified Pd and Au NPs in a nanoporous template.
