β¦ Synopsis
Multiβwalled carbon nanotubes are used for the templated assembly of HErPc~2~ nanowires via the phaseβseparation method. When the solvent is evaporated gradually, HErPc~2~ nanoparticles and nanowires are found to selfβassemble on the exterior walls of CNTs, as shown in the Figure. The CNTβHErPc~2~ hybrid materials exhibit improved photoconductivity owing to the contribution from the photoinduced charge transfer from HErPc~2~ to CNTs.

**Metal nanorods and nanowires** (see Figure) have been synthesized using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as templates and supercritical CO~2~ as the reaction medium. This rapid, direct, and clean approach can also be used to fabricate other metal/CNT composites and to coat the CNTs with metal
