title: 1D CdS/PbS heterostructured nanowire synthesis using cation exchange.
abstract: Heterostructured CdS nanowires with PbS deposits forming p-n junctions have been synthesized by successive cation exchange. The method developed herein opens up the possibility of preparing a spatially distributed heterojunction-based multifunctional electrode. The (photo)electrochemical activity of the material may be chemically tuned by changing the size and density of the p type PbS nanoparticles.
