The inorganic/organic hybrid materials with regioselective distribution of functional inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have received constant interest attributed to fascinating integrated properties. However, there remains a formidable challenge in realizing the regioselective distribution of NPs for the specific hybrid nanorods. Herein, we report the construction of uniform core-shell hybrid nanorods with the regioselective distribution of inorganic NPs by selectively disassembling the prepared NPs/polystyrene- block -poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS- b -P4VP) hybrid nanosheets. Moreover, through precisely adjusting the parameters, such as complexation ability between the metal precursor and P4VP blocks, the protonation degree of P4VP blocks and complexation time, the NPs/polymer core-shell hybrid nanorod with the uniform distribution of NPs, and dumbbell-like hybrid nanorods with selective distribution of NPs at both ends can be obtained. This finding reveals a unique insight into the design of the anisotropic functional hybrid materials with the regioselective distribution of inorganic NPs.
