The creation of semiconductor heterojuntion structures at the nanoscale is an important goal in photovoltaic cells research. In this poster, we will discuss the use of electrochemistry and nanoscale porous templates to create semiconductor nanorods or nanotubes. We will discuss the electrochemical synthetic conditions for and characterization of common inorganic semiconductors. We will also report on our study the transformations from nanotubes to nanorods.
